I do what I do, and I don't do what I don't

My sisters are all blogging about what they are doing. Patsy is going to the store, Betty is going to school, and Helen is IRONING! So, what am I doing? NOTHING!

I need to go to the store. The grandkids are coming tomorrow and they will want things to eat that I only buy when they are going to be here. I usually go to the store after work on Thursday or Friday, but I did not.

I did go to work this moring and actually had to work a little, but not much. I spent over an hour working on the newspaper puzzles, not the corsswords that I never know the answer to, but the 3 square math one and the cryptaquote. But, I was not really into that so I quit the puzzles and just sat and 'rested' my eyes. Then I spent another hour or two working on an excel function to try to get Clayton's lab girls to lookup the grower names so I would not have to spend so much time checking to see if they got them right and then sending corrections via email to the spr lab. I got it to work for me, but I am not sure they can use it. They have a printed list but will not check it to see if the grower name and number match so they probably won't the lookup function either. It is all Claytons fault anyway. He tells them to just write whatever the fieldman puts on the sample, but then if it is not right someone has to correct it. The boss thinks better me than her. I think better her than me, but can't get that bird to fly. Patsy, you call Clayton and tell him to make the girls look up the numbers.

And I am NOT going to iron. I guess I probably hate housework more than about anyone I have ever known, and since I have gotten old and cranky, mostly I just don't do what I don't want to do. I really hate vaccuming, but with the little boy coming by and looking for things on the floor to eat, I have to do someting. So, sometimes I sweep the living room carpet cause I hate to drag out the vaccum and then drag it back, not to mention dragging it all around the room. Don't tell Jackie, but I kept the boy while she went to the store this evening and he had a big time chasing flies around the kitchen. He never did catch one though. Maybe Clayton can give him lessons on catching flies.

To make a long story longer, What am I doing? NOTHING!!! and I like it that way.

We all have fleas!!!

Sister says: Lay down with dogs...get up with fleas.

We have followed our leaders into the valley of evil. We have only ourselves to blame.

If we are turely a country of the people, for the people, by the people, we all have fleas.

2 HOT!!

I guess no one but sisters have noticed, but my blog has blogged down and almost out. But, it is not my fault. It is just so HOT. I hate hot weather. I hate being out in the sun. I want shade and cool breezes. When it gets hot like this I just do not want to do anything. My home, workplace and car are all air conditioned to 72 degrees or so, but still, the HOT takes all the want to out of me. You know, Oh, I think I want to go here or go there. Or, I think I want to make this or make that. Or, I think I want to do this or do that. When it is so hot I don't want to go, I don't want to make, I don't want to do. And, since it is not actually hot where I am most of the time (in my home, my office or my car), this makes no sense. Just the same, that is my story and I am sticking to it. It is too blankity blank hot to blog!!!
