I
come home from my jaunt to the pool today to find the laundry going around,
bread rising, and the crows fed. In
response, I did most of the dishes.
There were more hiding behind my back, laughing at me for not seeing them. I allowed them to get away with it.
I’m
supposed to chat with Bobbie on Tuesdays, but she is shuffling art hither and
yon. Instead I’ll make the bed and
shuffle my camera around. I am totally
out of fresh Discovery Shop pictures to put up on Facebook.
Why
the bed? We had visitors yesterday. Margot on her birthday…so I made the bed…a
make the house look nice sort of gesture.
“What
a great quilt,” she said when she saw the bed.
Hadn’t she ever seen the bed made before? Obviously I usually just pull the covers
up. I believe chagrin is the applicable
word here. Two hours later another,
totally unexpected visitor.
This
morning I asked G, “Will we have any visitors today?”
Sometimes
I’m the laziest person I know.
- Himself: Trying to make do with only one monitor. The contrast between new and old was too great.
My days also run away with me. I got my taxes filed and submitted my most recent manuscript...if it is accepted, I will have more time to do other things. Loving all the old photos.
ReplyDeleteThat isn't a bad rug. Like we need another.
ReplyDeleteI love to have visitors, so would be looking forward to a visit. Come on over!
ReplyDeleteVisitors...do not let you know they are coming? I usually cook for two...for leftovers...for two. Do not like surprise visitors. I want to be the best hostess, so they need to give ma a heads-up.

ReplyDeleteSo where's the bit about the rug? Did I miss it? I usually make the bed by pulling up the covers, especially if you are just going to crawl back into it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely rug, Mage. We usually fold our bed covers open during the day to air it out so it's never actually made unless we have guests. This has been such a CRAZY month full of guests for us too. I'm rather exhausted to tell the truth.
ReplyDeleteI have days like that too. I wish I had more!
ReplyDeleteWe frequently don't put the pretty cover over top.
ReplyDeleteMaybe hubby needs to buy a second new monitor? Alright, I'll hang my head and bit my tongue while I'm at it.
