are you doing what you're supposed to be doing?

[fizzgig]

my answer is a resounding hell no.

my bestie is coming to stay for the weekend and will be here in four hours or so and i haven't started on cleaning. instead, i'm drinking a few day beers and playing bejeweled on facebook because that's a lot more entertaining than scrubbing the bathtub.

1. My dear fizzgig!

Actually, today, I don't have to do anything...

There are no pressing errands that wait for me to get off my butt and do them...

I love it!

Have a great time with your bestie!

[fizzgig]

5. thanks, miss peggy!

it's going to be a food extravaganza the next few nights and i'm looking forward to it.

it was her birthday earlier this week, so i'm treating her right. new york strip, baked potatoes and salad tonight and fried chicken, mashers and slaw tomorrow. i'll also be making a flourless chocolate cake with chocolate ganache.

and i just realized that we recently had our ten year friendsversary. i can't believe it's been that long.

2. Ha Ha do you hear the echo?

I am sooo in trouble!!!

[fizzgig]

6. i'm approaching screwn

but i'm a master procrastinator and will kick it into high gear when it hits crunch time.

[Aristus]

3. No.

I'm not working, if that's what you mean.

I've got the day off, because I have to work Saturday clinic tomorrow. I ran some errands this morning, but now, I'm just vedging out. Screw chores; I'm kicking back.

I've got five physical exams scheduled for tomorrow, three of them in a row. I'm marshalling my resources...

[fizzgig]

7. i say screw chores on a regular basis

i'm a terrible housekeeper, but my house is messy rather than dirty.

i hope you have a relaxing day off and get through tomorrow as easily as possible.

[warrprayer]

4. I was doing

what I was supposed to be doing the day before yesterday. Does that count?

[fizzgig]

8. sure!

i did what i was supposed to do all week.

[bluesbassman]

9. Yep, and I got the theme song right here...

One of the tunes in our setlist.

Have a great time with your friend this weekend fizz!

[fizzgig]

10. i dig that song

thanks for sharing!

11. Day beers, yum. Beer is best when served at 2PM. God I miss beer

I havent had a beer since November last year. I've got some stupid disease and the pills they give me for it can damage my liver. They say you can still have a couple a month, but I was giving it a year to see if it messed up my liver before I had the occasional beer again.

[fizzgig]

13. there is something so satisfying with day beers

i hope you'll be able to enjoy the occasional one soon.

[NightWatcher]

15. I may start tomorrow for the noon football game.

Day beers feel so dirty, like you're getting away with something naughty.

I used to love to drink at work.

[LoveMyCali]

12. I should be at work in about a half hour

OK, so technically I should be there now but I'm always at least a half hour late (they are flexible with my hours so its ok) and I still havent showered and Im drinking coffee and watching NCIS. I just cant seem to get motivated to move.

[fizzgig]

14. i often find myself in that position

i usually don't start getting ready until a half hour or so before i have to be there. but i work less than a cigarettes drive away, so i can leave at the last minute.

[elleng]

16. Nope, tho I fed and watered chicks and wandering cat, and watered and let the dogs out.

Will feed dogs and fish shortly, but haven't cleaned kitchen floor (after 3 days rain, and 2 dogs running in and out, a real mess) and daughter returning tomorrow to relieve me from sitting on her animals, so I DO have to clean things up a bit!

'Thanks' for asking!

[fizzgig]

17. i had to scrub the kitchen floor today

we don't have a mop, so it was hands and knees for me.

finally got the house done, didn't take more than an hour and half and it's nice to have a clean house. company is a great motivator

[elleng]

18. Nice, yes company is a motivator.

Used to do (in '70s) small, walk thru kitchen with sponge on my knees. For today's work, daughter's fairly large kitchen floor full of dog mud+, I bought swiffer wet wipes, so will do that after dogs are out tomorrow morning. Been raining here since Tuesday night, and dogs spend days outside.

Will bring the wipes to my cottage, where the kitchen floor needs work, and will dry mop wood floors in other rooms when I return there, but hate to think about it!

[IrishEyes]

19. Yes, it is my day off so I just relaxed.

I have to work Saturday and Sunday so I slept in and watched old movies all day. I don't get another day off until next Sunday. I did fix a few things on my new resume this morning so I got something accomplished. I'm sure that I could have accomplished many more things but sometimes a girl just needs a day off from everything.

[fizzgig]

21. i would have done the same in your situation

sometimes you just have to veg out.

[nolabear]

20. Yes. I'm taking a freaking break.

I've been up to my bodacious tatas with work, none of which seems to be paying me anything. But presumably it will pay off in the future.

Tonight I'm lying about the furniture, as we say around here.

[fizzgig]

22. i thought my mother was the only one who used the phrase 'bodacious tatas'

enjoy your night off.
