Oh Boy.
Fang left for a business trip to Germany this afternoon and well, mama has the joint to herself.
What does that actually mean?
-Fishsticks for dinner
-Downloads of all the songs from the iPod to the computer desktop, played at at top volume.
-Dancing over every square inch of the apartment while the music from the iPod plays. And jeez, I was actually doing the pogo to Elvis Costello!
-Singing along to every song from the aforementioned music, often finding myself unable to reach the next octave but singing anyway. And loving it.
-I think I'll have a glass of wine.
-I'll leave the catbox till tomorrow.
-Taking a break to shimmy to Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Telephone Song." What a bad ass.
-Y'know, I'm sick of cleaning the toilet. I need a housekeeper. Yeah, that'll fly.
-Those Anjou pears look good.
-Oh, look, a rerun of "Step It Up & Dance!"
-I love this song by Squeeze ("Tempted").
-Should I schedule a pedicure for tomorrow? My heels look reptilian.
-Swing Out Sister--the most underrated group of the 80s. "Break Out" is genius.
-I guess I better feed the cat.
-Is that thunder? Or over syncopated bass? Oh, it really is thunder. Whoa, a storm! Cool. I hope the power doesn't go out. I have, like, 30 more songs that I want to hear.
-Is it just me or is Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Life" one of best records ever made?
-Lord, I think I need to turn the AC on.
-What a storm! I hope the power doesn't go out. That would suck.
-Hey, who knew I downloaded Rick Astley? I'm glad I did--I LOVE "Never Gonna Give You Up"!
-Jackson Five" I Want You Back"--awesome!!
-I guess someone needs to feed the cat. Enjoy your mackerel goop, sweet geriatric feline.
-OK, a second glass of wine. Nice, that.
-Bill Withers is on now. I do think "Lovely Day" has to be one of my favorite songs of all time.
-Is that another hot flash? Or did the eastern hemisphere temperature just spike?
-Oooooh. Barry White is on now. One of these days I'll buy myself a proper vibrator.
-The laundry is done.
--Uncontrollable dancing in a small space to The English Beat.
-Vacuuming is a virtue.
-Who invented Clorox?
-I really hate wearing underwear.
-Maybe I should call it a night.

You go girl. Don't worry, no one is going to rat you out to Fang.
Sounds like you're having a grand time with yourself. :-)
Pathetic, right? Actually, I did have a grand time!!
Man,when you let loose-look out! Do ya think someone had their telescope pointed in your direction? You probably would've gone a little wilder.
Truth is, I do the same thing, but I also have to get two kids out of the house, so it rarely happens.
And my damned puppy just jumped into my lap and stepped on the keyboard, making it necessary for me to delete his nonsense. So, I guess he needs to get out, too. Now he's biting my hands and I
can't type your word verification-shit

He's been dealt with. *evil laugh*
Aw, c'mon, I wouldn't hurt a puppy, I just stuck him in the kitchen with a chewy thingee. He's happy. Now there's only one child left in the house. How shall I dispose of him? Screw it, I'll just pretend he isn't there! *cranking up the music as per CW's example*
Sometimes a day home with the place to yourself is the best. I know I look forward to it when my husband takes off for few days. Not that I don't miss him, but alone time has its charms.
Wow... I thought I was the only one who liked Rick Astley. (Did you think he was a burly black man when you first heard him sing? I know I did.)
I DID think he was a burly black man when I first heard his album!!! When I finally saw him, a soft cheeked auburn haired lad who looked 15 and virginal, all I could think was, "WTF?"
I still love that album. Seriously.
