There are at least 10(ten) things I could/should be doing right now... |
|
and I am not. How about you? What should YOU be doing right now, instead of hanging out with your computer?
First on the list for me is Spring Cleaning...if we ever want to put our house on the market.

1. There is nothing I really should be doing right now |
|
I am at a real loose end. I easily become unhappy when I am like this. :(

2. Too bad you can't come over and hang out on the couch and |
|
watch old movies..or go for a walk in the park or something. :( :hug:
I feel the same way, but I do have stuff that I should be doing. :loveya:

I'd be knocking on your door! :hug:

6. I have the baskets on the floor at my feet...and the "bunny stuff" in |
|
a black garbage bag in the closet...but I don't want to do that. ;) :hi: I am missing a basket, so when you go out could you pick one up for me?

9. I dunno, looks like you have a better shot at completion that I do |
|
I so don't want to go out, not even if candy is involved
If you can't find a basket, empty out a cereal box and use that :-) Or, check the backyard trees for a nest or something.
I have never not colored eggs, either, and I haven't even got eggs yet

10. Luckily my father did that with my kids yesterday, so I got to skate |
|
on it...the coloring eggs that is. I could fedex you a dozen. My father goes a bit overboard.

14. lol, thanks for the offer; I also usually do at least 3 dozen |
|
just because they look so pretty when they're done and all in a big bowl. I love having colored easter eggs around.

17. You know, I think I'm just going to get off my butt and go to Costco |
|
and get some of those flats of eggs and force my son to color eggs with me! (now, if I can only find my box with all the egg coloring kits that I bought on sale after Easter last year.......)

4. I don't need to be doing anything |
|
which is very rare for me now days. The bills are paid, the house is clean (sort of), the yard looks good, I've got a full belly. Everything is groovy.

Chop down all your bushes and trees. Clear out the garden and mow the lawn. Then when you advertise your house you can say, "Ready for your landscaping."
I did extensive landscaping on the the last two houses I have sold before putting them on the market. I've since driven by both of them and the new owners totally changed everything. I'd say one of them put about $2000 into his yard.

13. We have (currently) two lilac bushes and nothing else. |
|
I'm just going to put in cheap curb appeal kind of things. MrG and I fight about this all the time. He wants to re-carpet the basement. I want to throw down remnants because the real estate appraiser in me knows we are going to get no additional value out of it, and it will just end up rolled up on the side of the road for the garbageman. :)

24. But, it's my private space, I want flowers. The hummingbirds will be back. |
|
I enjoyed laying in bed this morning watching a migratory flock combined of North American Goldfinches and Purple Finches eating thistle seeds from the feeder. :)
I'm not overdoing it but bending down to cut the lower branches was a mistake x) I should have been sitting on a milk-crate.

23. I hate it when they come to those realizations... |
|
:( I think my little guy plays along for me.
I still have to put the baskets together, but it isn't interesting me.

I have a list of phone numbers to be calling....
My Dem Club is opening a permanent office next weekend, and I need to call all the local Dem Club presidents to find out if they have any fliers or newsletters to display...
I've made one call so far....about ten more to go!

26. I have to think about supper. |

Then again, I think harleydad should go out and bring home something special. So I don't really have anything to do. The house is already clean ... from being cleaned every day since January 28. I think we'll just party tonight. Wanna come?

Really.
And some other work I've got that could easily supplant a good night's sleep once again.
It's not like I'm exactly enjoying online forays these days, but now and then I've got to come back for a look, anyway.
Good luck with the cleaning, Mrs G!

33. I find myself missing you when you are not here. |

I am not here often of late, although I spent a good part of Saturday goofing around here in the Lounge. Today, I am painting doors...or, at least, that is what MrG thinks I am doing. :)
