The Gig of Gig

So. We were on our way home last night from work etc. and we were discussing approximately how much information will 1 Terabyte of electronic storage space hold. And Then lovely Husband piped up with "A gig of gig!" and the phrase just made me laugh! And so I give you the gig of gig that's going on with us:



a gig of gig worth of yuck currently evacuating from our faces. yep. We have the simultaneous-married cold.



a gig of gig worth of money it's going to cost to buy textbooks for The lovely Husband.



a gig of gig worth of homework for The lovely Husband starting his first week of graduate school.



a gig of gig worth of work done for the lovely DB for whom I work and who is leading a study abroad in South Africa for the fall.



a gig of gig worth of Dostoevsky to catch up with my own reading schedule (count them, I'm 30 pages behind! I blame the aforementioned gig of gig worth of work!)



a gig of gig worth of small projects that have piled up while I've been getting DB ready to go to South Africa.



a gig of gig of neglected and pitiful cats currently living in our apartment. Don't feel too sorry for them, they have a great apartment all to themselves during the day and they get to maul us at night!



a gig of gig of sleep which will be essential to me feeling like a human being again.



On a totally unrelated topic. One of the women I work with came by my desk today as I was trying to assist in the aforementioned evacuation (I was blowing my nose) and asked if I was sick, I said yes, and that I was blaming my nieces who have been visiting from Utah (they're adorable but I'm convinced that children are a breeding ground for germs and that it is nothing short of a modern miracle that mothers are not permanently ill). She said, "Oh your sisters have kids?" I responded with yes and specified ages etc. And she replied with, "Well, you're behind! You'd better talk to your husband before it's too late for you to have kids!"



The Mama-in-Law would be proud. I am now being lectured about fertility by my coworkers. The beauty of the moment was that The Husband was standing right there. Which I gleefully pointed out. At which point she blushed. Apologized. And went back to work. HAH! A gig of gig of embarrassment for the coworker!



Your turn: what are you having a gig of gig of right now?

This made me laugh!

So we have our gig of gig projects this week due to the yuck from our sewer. Monday we started the plumbing and sheet rock. Tuesday we ordered the carpet and will finish sheet rock and start on the tile. Wednesday we will finish the tile. Thursday we will cut and paint base boards. Friday we will prep for paint. Saturday we will paint. And that's just this week... Fun stuff.

I'm so grateful for my wonderful hubby who is willing to learn and do.

Did anyone want to help?? :)
