Ambitious Weekend Plans

Jeff headed out of town for the weekend, which leaves me with a glorious stretch of two days in which to do whatever I choose.

Things I should probably do:

• Clean the house
• Finish pulling out items from my closet to give to Goodwill or trash
• Scoop Great Dane poop out of the front & back yards
• Laundry
• 5K on the treadmill or long walk outside at least one day
• Continue looking for a local volunteer opportunity (since the USO rejected me.  Bastards!)
• Pick up sticks in the back yard: Jeff always asks me to do this.  I still haven’t figured out if he wants me to actually pick up sticks or if it’s a euphemism for something else.  Either way, I never do it.

Items noted on the list above have a 10% (or less) chance of being accomplished.  I might clean the toilets since I like a clean bowl.  I’ll probably also do laundry.  The beer fridge is in the laundry room, so I’ll be in there frequently anyway.

Here’s what I’ll actually do this weekend:

• Download dirty movies on Netflix and let the dogs get on the couch with me to watch
• Drive the dogs around in my convertible to get BOGO Blizzards at Dairy Queen (one for now…one for later!)
• Put exorbitant amounts of bird seed in the feeders outside. (Jeff still doesn’t know I spend $60 every month on birdseed.  He thinks birds just really like our yard).
• Sleep late without feeling bad about it.
• Put a dent in my backlog of reading.  I have a stack of New Yorker’s mocking me from the table next to my favorite chair, and I just picked up the third Stieg Larsson book.
• Catch up with my brother and go somewhere to eat (which should be interpreted as hitting a bar for drinks)
• Front porch / back porch / backyard swing drinking
• Read blogs / Facebook / news online

You might read that list and think I’m a lazy, drunken slug.  BINGO!  You know me so well!

Have a great weekend everyone!
