Scintillating Monday repartee, yawn man -- perhaps everyone is engrossed in selecting the perfect POTS to order, got it first try man.

------

Thrilling Monday report, see man:

 

Night of disrupted zzz, disrupted zzz for we man.

During tedious caffeination process, Mini-B. eager if not aysheep to visit GameStop, gift card wee man.

 

Took Mini-B. to very proximal GameStop, somehow avoided accidents we man.

No game there, but referred to GameStop Many (2x2x2) miles away, chauffeur we wee man.

Mini-B. finally satiated, determined wee man.

 

Lunched at Burger King WUOCs, financially savvy we and over-ingest Two Guys man.

 

At casa, Mini-B. played nonstop for Many hours, straight to din-din time man.

Napped for a semirestorative hour, some coherence finally man.

 

Din-din was salad and hot dogs, ingest Two Guys man.

We inadvertently dumped half the Ranch bottle into Mini-B.'s bowl, overdrench salad we man.

Mini-B. made comments but was chiefly good-natured about it, diplomatic wee man.

 

Off-cleaned kitchen counter, domestic we and We Must Be Sick man.

First time since probably March or February*, somewhat overdue man.

      *from the looks of the store receipts thereon, Sherlock Holmes we man

Far easier than kitchen table, mostly just stuff out of place** man.

    **such as the pack of bungee cords, the legal pads, and framed photo of We man man

 

Off-scrubbed k-counter blotches with Amway stuff from earlier ES, thank heaven for it man.

Miu wondered what the dickens was going on, disbelieving miu man.

 

We do not imminently plan to declutter other half of k-counter, bowls & paper plates within reach man.

Nor do we imminently plan to declutter k-floor, unless we trip again and this time fall man.

Too clean a casa raises questions about red-blooded Guy status, must maintain appearances man.

 

Somebody (or somemiu) has put paw-prints on k-table already, not hard to identify culprit man.

And if you were to read the advertisement, real bacon is glued to the POTS, :bonk: JD ma'am!  None of this mere "scented" business, no man.

Just popping in to wish everyone a happy New Year. Herself and I have come to Heber Springs until Monday. We are right on the Little Red River. She has been busy giving the ducks and geese what for. And the motor boats and fisher folk going up and down. This place is huge. Our house would fit in here four times with room to spare. She keeps losing me :D

 

It has got a dog enclosure with an igloo dog house, but other that that, it is not fenced. So, that would account for my wandering about at 03:30 in my parka and gumboots.

 

There has to be one flaw in the plan of course. Severe weather ahead, and no fraidy hole here. Scoped out a closet that will have to do.

 

Cheers!

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.
