Subject: Re: Monday Chat 5-23-11 by TommyT-Bone on 2011/5/23 12:38:42 Yesterday I worked (cutting grass) in the morning and part of the afternoon. I was sitting on the couch gazing at the TV when my wife (like the energizer bunny) proclaims, "I'm bored, I want to do something". I on the other hand had just hit pre-nap stride. I said to her "Can you ever just do nothing?". She said, "Today is my only day off and I don't wasnt to waste it just sitting around.". So .. I did what any good man would do. I sent her off to visit her neice and great neices. I goofed around a little on the computer looking at things I have no intention of buying (67 Nova SS Pro Street. 87 slant nose Porsche 930) and other stuff like that. I was then ready to assume a horizontal position on the couch. Breaking out a nice comforter and positioning my pillows perfectly I was ready for a nice afternoon snooze. Closing my eyes and getting comfortable, a local ice cream vendor makes his way through the neighborhood with his speaker blaring out Christmas songs. Yep, this idiot plays X-mas tunes all fricken year long. He works his way through and yet another competing ice cream man follows this other guys route albeit just a couple of minutes later. As this guy leaves the area yet another ice cream truck passes through with another round of ding a ling kiddie songs. These guys must all buy the ice cream truck mucic machines from the same distributor. I figure that's got to be about it as far as distractions go since now all the local ice cream trucks have worked the area. Settling in, just about hitting stride ..... ring ........... ring ......... ring ..... A friend of my wifes calls. I don't answer because I can see who it is on the Caller ID. Settle back in because at this point I am not getting up and I am determined to catch a quick nap. Ahh, dreamland is approaching ..... ....ring .........ring ........ring..... Special election on Tuesday due to a recall and the same asshat that has called me everyday with the same politiical message has called once again ..... Sonofabitch ...... Can I get a fricken nap on a Sunday afterfrigginnoon. Finally I doze off. I'm hitting stride now and have been out for about 10 minutes.......... ring .......... ring ..........ring ...... "Hi honey, I'm just down the street, could you bring the dogs in?" I give up ...... The party is over .... You would think this would be the end of this tale, But Wait ! There's More!. As I shake off the after effects of having taken a nap, she decides she wants to start dusting and cleaning shelves and wall ornaments in the living room. Here comes a multihour request fest. Can you get me this , can you hand me that, Oh, that's too high for me ........... You got to be kidding me .... All I wanted to do was a whole lot of nuthin and this is how it ended up. This is why I think Charlie really ended up on the MTA. |
