Top Ten List
It has been a kind different for me this week, as HK is away on her annual ski trip. Which means that I have the house to myself for seven days. This of course got me to thinking. What should I do while she is not here. This is what I was able to come up with.
10. I can leave all the lights on in the house. And not have to worry about the obligatory 'you going to leave that light on all night?'
9. Cap'n Crunch for dinner. And lunch and breakfast. I'll eat a year's worth of the cereal in one week.
8. The temperature in the house is going up. Time to kick that thermostat up a couple degrees or so. The week she is gone, I can put my sweaters away. Almost like summer.
7. It's time for inane TV shows. You won't see PBS on my TV at all this week.
6. Sleeping late will be reality. Of course she left the dogs here, which means I'll still be up at 6:00 every morning. Why you ask? See number 5.
5. This week, I am the 'new best friend' for the dogs. Which to them means, 'wake up Jeff, it's 6 am, and time for our morning walk.'
4. Use all of the ice cubes I want, and never fill up the trays. That will show her for leaving. The only problem is, we have an ice maker on the refrigerator, and I don't know how to turn it off.
3. Leave newspapers all over the floor. Which I can blame on the dogs. "I have no idea how the papers got on the house HK. Maybe it was because I took them on their walk at 6:01 yesterday instead of six. You know how they get about their morning exercise."
2. I can eat any food I want during the Super Bowl. How many carrots or celery sticks do you figure I'll 'consume'? That number will be somewhere between zero and zero.
And finally the number one thing I can do, while my wife is off skiing. Which by the way, doesn't bother me in the least. As I have said before, there are some things that I should never do. Repelling down a mountain on two thin boards is high on that list,
1. Drive her car, and run it out of gas. "Honest HK, I have no idea why your gas tank is on 'E'. It was in the garage the whole time you were gone."
Back Tuesday with another So as I was Saying essay.
Enjoy the game, and be safe driving home from the party.
We will talk soon
