make up your mind . . .

k1 has gone to jacksonville for the weekend.  k2 is off to her parents.  the house is mine.  all mine. and before i start my list, i am going to snuggle in with a lovely salad full of garbanzo beans, cherry tomatoes, greek olives, feta and sunflower seeds along with a hunk of warm ciabatta bread with a plate of spices surrounded with olive oil for dipping and a glass of cabernet.  my, oh my.  then i think i'll honk around in photoshop for a while and enjoy my life. 

tomorrow is chore day.  it's about time i fixed the broken bracket on the cabinet so i don't have to look at its contents strewn all over my kitchen floor.

i need to re-stack the wood pile before i order more.  poor richard says it will be a cold winter and i am hoping he is right.  the fireplace is ready and waiting. 

i fear the end of swimming season is upon us.  if mother nature cooperates and stops the buckets of recent wetness, i can finally get out and use the four containers of commercial bleach i bought last month to clean the deck and furniture to move into my second favorite use for that area. lounging in the cooler air, sipping a suitable libation, book in hand. 

of course there is laundry to be done. litter to be scooped. counters to be cleaned. rugs to be vacuumed but mostly i will enjoy the silence.

it's not that i don't love the k(s) version 101 and 102, its just that occasionally i enjoy the peace and quiet of my sixty six year old world.  one without rap and giggles, make-up and impromptu fashion shows, food stains and squabbles.  lord, how i love those giggles. does this make sense?  at any rate, i will enjoy my weekend and happily wait until sunday night when my house is once again full of laughter, panic, drama and rolling eyes.  i cannot wait.
