What should you be doing that you're not because you're on DU?
I should be doing laundry, and cleaning the house. Also, I really need to do some filing - I have a basket of receipts and other crap that's overflowing on my desk. I need to finish cutting out the pattern pieces for a quilt I'm making. AND I need to bake some banana bread. Oh, and call my son.

There are probably twelve other things too but that's the short list. ~sigh~ It's tough to be an addict.

9. Spraying round up
all over kingdom come (the strip between the sidewalk and the street as well as the strip down the center of the dirveway).

Raking leaves.

Digging up the flagstones of the walkway in the back yard, cleaning them, cutting back the grass, and putting them back neatly.

Weeding the vegetable garden.

Weeding around the rosebushes.

Watering the lawn and the rosebushes in the front yard.

Going to OSH and buying more round up, a hand held tiller, and about 85 other things.

Washing the walls in my room preperatory to painting.

Taking all the boxes on the front porch, in the carport, on the back porch, in the living room, and in my bedroom and stacking them neatly in the shop.

etc. :(

13. Just about anything
But I have to stay at work until 7:00 pm just to be available in case any parents want to talk about their child's performance in my class (I'm a teacher). However, I only have one conference scheduled, and that is in thirty minutes. I'm just killing time.

20. Folding laundry.
But my internet service has been SO bad and Wilma will probably make it worse. So I can fold laundry later. I went the entire morning, into the afternoon, with no internet -- I thought I was going through withdrawal.

:silly:
