I have decided on a new plan for resolutions, besides just not having them. I have decided that they should be a late January activity. It is entirely too cruel to go cold turkey right after the season of treats. I think my logic is very well founded and fits my rationalization for not getting around to it until now. Alas, the time has come and I will be getting up a little earlier. So as long as I am going to suffer, I might as well throw down a challenge and if anyone wants to go head-to-head and make a little side bet, just let me know. This is not exciting blogging, but it serves me well because I have put it down in writing and will feel the need to report.
Katie and Karen hosted a book club meeting tonight discussing A Return to Modesty (apparently a good book where the author proposes that women should probably have not taken the freedoms thing so far when it came to modesty, as it has led to some unintended effects on society - I have not read it, but Karen does not read non-fiction and she could not put this one down). This left Ken and I to our own devices and considerable fun playing off the subject of the book combined with the fact that this is national opposite day. We did not carry out any of our proposed mayhem and instead went shopping at Nordstrom Rack, yep that it what it has come to at this point. Actually, Ken and I both like to shop much to our spouses chagrin - which is not fair because many women complain that their husbands have
no interest. Pick a lane, any lane ladies....
I scored a very cool dress shirt that has a NY Mets icon on the back, baseball buttons, and ball stitching. Ken had told me about seeing this shirt in early December and I had no hope that it would still be there. I am planning to justify the purchase, under the post-holiday spending lockdown, by the fact that I won a Visa gift card using my coke cap points and the shear karma of the shirt still being on the rack - I will report how this works out. Just my luck, tomorrow is probably national dog house day.
Welcome to the house, bro. Really? Really? Another shirt??? There is NO justification for this whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteBefore I go off to eat today's "free food" offering, all I can say is I'm glad I have good accounting skills so I can keep track of how much of your winnings are now gone before they arrive. And keep track I will. Of course. Because if I didn't, this wouldn't be as much fun for you as it appears to be.
Maaga signing off ... and I got to hear Zippy say my rather odd name today on the phone -- it was very sweet!
