What I will do after I finish the book

[ksmith]

1. Rent Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

2. Read some new books from cover to cover. Finish the books I started and set aside. This will sound horrible, but I haven't finished a book all year. I have started several, and reread parts of old favorites. But one work cover to cover, no. I fear someone will revoke my wordsmith membership card.

3. Bake three kinds of cookies.

4. Boil my bathroom.

5. Wash the floors.

6. Watch KO and Rach without guilt.

7. Get a small deep freezer.

8. Cook soups, stews, and chili in my slow cooker, and freeze them. Dinners for a month!

9. Sleep.

10. File '08 stuff and start to pull the tax stuff together.

I know, some of this is work. But it's work I've put off for months, and it's started to weigh on my soul. I don't like to live in clutter. I don't like messy personal records. I need to get things under control so that...I can start thinking about the next book.

#4 - the visual is stunning. I think I'll try it at home.

#6 - My wife got badly hooked on Keith and F Maddow while we were staying with friends in Vegas just after the election.

I'm going through Rach/KO withdrawal. Didn't watch at all last week because of the need to write--that's two hours in the evening that I won't get back. Watched last night to find it was substitute teacher night--oh well. If forced to make a choice...KO is smoother, but he gets on my nerves sometimes. Rachel Maddow is wonderful, but the show still has a few things to iron out. I think I'd go with Rachel.

Boil the bathroom, yes, and bleach it, too. Hrmmmm?

In support of your hard work, I also vow to wash the floors when you finish your book.

Yours or mine?

Kidding.

Mine need it so badly. I bought one of the steamers that's safe for sealed wood. It's still in the box.
