Lazy Perfectionist
A few weeks ago my kettle stopped working. Instead of being sad about it I was very pleased because it meant I could now get the red kettle of my dreams. Unfortunately I couldn't source one, so I boiled all my water in a saucepan - which after a few days became tedious but it was worth it because .....
I found my kettle yesterday - a red enamelled beauty that I LOVE.
oOo
I was talking with my friend R this evening (she was telling me more things about me that are weird) and she reminded me that I once described myself to her as a "lazy perfectionist". I had forgotten ever having said that but, yes, I identify with that.
I want to do everything I do perfectly but I really don't want to put the amount of energy in that it would take. So, I will find the easiest route possible to getting as near to perfection as I can.
What are two words you could use to describe an aspect of yourself?
Later: Oh, I have now finished my course.
I gained a MERIT overall, which I was VERY pleased with because I have done nothing like this in a very long time :o}
Shameless tonight - YAY!

I am struggling to find two words to describe myself really I am.. I don't know who I am any more RW :-(
but let's just say "I want it all".... and I'll come back to that..

Thanks for the congrats Tats :o}
OK no more weird stuff from me - tho' I can't promise that Dons won't pinch my identity again and be weird on my behalf!
Oh, poor you Dons. I'm so lucky having no in-laws to deal with (smug grin)

I want to steal that little phrase..lazy perfectionist...it fits me perfectly. I'll try to think of another one though...ooh oxymorons. Love 'em.
And I do so like your kettle.

yes forgot to say, I covet your kettle. How perfect would it look in my kitchen? ;-)

Sweetie, it would look PERFECT in your kitchen.
I may have to 'break' your standby electric kettle - or put it on the Aga, so all the plastic bits melt - just like your darling father in law did with the last one! hee hee

I could probably claim to be a "lapsed perfectionist". I've given up being one as taking far too much time and effort.
Shameless gets more outrageous and wonderful every week, doesn't it?
