See? I know the drill — chocolate, pretend to listen (what?), back rubs, clean the house, fix things, wear nice shoes, smell good, go along on shopping trips, don't go along on shopping trips, be a bad boy, be a nice guy...
√ chocolate I like chocolate too...milk chocolate
√ pretend to listen (what?) sometimes actually listen!
√ back rubs (probably not often enough)
√ clean the house not a "neat nick by any stretch, but I'll help out
√√√ fix things
ø wear nice shoes only if they are given to me and there is an "event" that requires them.I like nice clothes and understand appreciate style, but I have other priorities which take precedent.
ÿ smell good do the requisite stuff, but tend to be a sweaty guy...
√ go along on shopping trips I actually like shopping.
√ don't go along on shopping trips if that's the "thing"
√ be a bad boy certainly
√ be a nice guy... I'm not really bad.
ø Australian accent
ø Irish accent
ø English accent (any)
√ MidWest "accent"...bland
This is a curious day...
Staying home to clean the house in prep for Thanksgiving AND doing some work on the laptop...and (obviously) some procrastination on LIT..........
Whew!
Big scurryfunge for Thanksgiving, then pulling stuff out of turkey only to stuff other stuff IN. Then peeling/slicing apples and mixing up crisp topping (oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter)..... peeling and copping potatoes to boil (to mash)...
making the gravy....
food was good. Saw "Murder on the Orient Express"... was alright... I don't think it was great.... but pretty sure I've seen another movie version and read the book...so... kinda ruins "the joke".
Christmas began today...ack!
Into the crawl space...... up and down up and down... artificial tree is about 80 pounds and awkward. to get out and through the basement.
Lights too far gone... (was a pre-lit)....had replaced all some years back...so.......pulled 'em all off....and got 20 boxes of LED for tree (12 boxes) and porch...etc...
JUST got all lights on. Some other things up and around. Ornaments tomorrow.
