Well, go Vunderkid! 😃

Burgers, **N.O.T.** sallit and a cold beer made for a wonderful dindin. The kitchen is all clean, the laundry is all done and put away. Life is good here at da cave.

**flytrap** The _nice white dish_? You used the _nice white dish_!?!? I am shocked! Shocked, I say! Shocked!

Haaahaha. I used some of my lady style wiles as leverage to get him up and showered and dressed 😉

We went for lunch then I went for a pedicure and _someone_ took another nap. Now we are in for the night and watching movies. Supper will be snacks later as I don’t have the energy to pull a meal together. I think we have a bag of Cheetos in the pantry.

It think a beer sounds good right now.

Sorry **taters** try and find some downtime if you can

The chainsaw is very noisy, as I hope the Mufferless Truck Neighbor will soon ascertain.

Mrs. Plant v.3.0 insisted! Despite my vehement protest!  
Sharon’s Shade (who runs the ice dispenser night at night) should be after her, not me!

You should have Mrs. Plant v.3.0 rev a mufferless truck whilst you operate said chainsaw.

Work, work, work.

I’ve been perusing Craigslist trying to see if I can find a set of Calphalon pans that isn’t too abused, and it turns out that Target sells a new 10-piece set for $200, which is actually cheaper than people seem to be trying to sell their sets for. I’ma gonna give it another week or two to see if some poor newlyweds get a second set and want to sell one for (really) cheap, then it’s off to the land of the red and khaki.

Back to work. Oh, that’s right, nothing’s happening. Back to Craigslist…

Three months from today, my son’s career in public education will be over. (High school graduation is June 2.) My son’s reaction to this statement was to whoop wildly and dance about the room in glee. Now we just have to get through the whole college selection thing.

I succumbed to the urge for a nap but managed to keep it to an hour then got up and went for a run in swirling snow flurries. (I’m working on a goal of 1,000 miles of combined run/bike mileage for the year. So far, so good.)

Now vegging with the TV but really wanting to get in bed and read.

People asked me what I was going to do when I graduated.  
“Ah, get drunk?”

Well, non-stick pans I can use metal implements in are essential.
