Comments on My "To Do" List For Today (Sunday, July 30th, 2006)

Go to Old News (The Unbearable Lightness Of Blogging) - Add a comment - Go to My "To Do" List For Today (Sunday, July 30th, 2006)

I enjoy spending time with my therapist, Blanche.

Plus, I'm 16 years younger than my mother, so I have every expectation of outliving her.

Did you know, ShutterCat, that ...

"The twelve days of Christmas are the twelve days between Christmas and Epiphany (January 6th), which is when the three wise men supposedly arrived on the scene. It is not the twelve days before Christmas as many erroneously believe."

Mademoiselle, why does everyone think YOU should move out?

and not the others?  Meaning, I suppose your mother.  Because it isn't happening, and the sooner you wake up and leave home, the less likely you are to have to spend the NEXT 20 years in therapy and sleeping your way through your days to avoid killing your relatives. 

It's an option anyway.  Otherwise, kill Pavel and spend the next 20 years in maximum security. Always an option.

Arrrrgh!!!!! Not the TWELVE DAYS OF XMAS!!!

It won't shut up!

You don't need to ask, Penguin ...

I just posted about it.

P.S. I know the post initially appears monstrously long, but it's really not, seeing as so much of it is dialogue.

i would ask what the "thoughtless prank" was,

but won't unless told what it is...sometimes i just love being me. weird.

Yes, Penguin, I tried not to overreact to my brother's thoughtless "prank".

posted by Mademoiselle on July 30, 2006 at 8:41 PM | link to this | reply

definitely.....

you need to repent, first for losing to hemophiliacs, and second for having to attend a late service...granted i attend my churches third service out of three.

no. 4...you are probably certain to reap an award

....and i'm glad to see  Kill Pavel is a minor number on your list of to-do's.

I'd say I accomplished about half of it, Ann ...

Give or take 3 or 4.

Oh, I sure did, Steeler Fan.

Unfortunately, he's all too real, Moon ...

And that might not be such a bad idea; an insurance policy on him could be fairly sizable, actually, considering his youth and (supposed) athletic ability.

What would make you say that, Mason?

P.S. SEE current post; it's long, but it reads really fast.

posted by Mademoiselle on July 30, 2006 at 7:09 PM | link to this | reply

Well, I would have several options, Cricket ...

depending how far I wanted to travel.

posted by Mademoiselle on July 30, 2006 at 7:07 PM | link to this | reply

No, Blanche, it's not, actually.

Why does everyone think I should move out?

Why not the others?

I don't blame you for feeling that way, Original Influence, these were no easy tasks.

posted by Mademoiselle on July 30, 2006 at 7:05 PM | link to this | reply

Unless you live in Bryn Mawr, FLIGHTPATH, that won't do me much good.

The list reads like you have a lot to accomplish for today. 10 clicks for the busy blogger! Congrats.

Sounds like you have a busy day ahead...lol

Madem, Sorry to be a pest.....it's just that I was thinking about Pavel.....I mean if he has to die anyway, why not take out some life insurance on him and make it look like an accident......I mean, it's just a thought......I'm not really suggesting it or anything like that.....all just sort of hypothetical......in fact, I don't know for sure if Pavel even really exists or if he is just a product of your incredibly active imagination.....(just sort of covering myself here.)

..I take it you and Pavel aren't getting along so well....

You are crazy!  You crack me up!  I'm not sure what the local authorities would think about an outbreak of "domesticated" scorpions loose in the park.  Interesting...which park is it?  Remind me never to go to that one.  Check ya lata! Cricket ><>

I can see why you've been contemplating getting rid of nasty stains, M

but, in all seriousness, isn't moving out ever a better alternative to murder? 

posted by Blanche. on July 30, 2006 at 12:15 PM | link to this | reply

Now that is a list that I am glad isn't one of mine!

Honey Combs are on sale at our local store. - 2 boxes for $4.00 !!

I bought some yesterday.

Thanks, Blonde Ambition ...

Come to think of it, I probably better get started actually doing some of these things, too.

I mean, that is the purpose of the list, I suppose.

Mademoiselle

Wow......you have got one heck of a schedule.....quite diversified.....sounds interesting.

posted by BlondeAmbition007 on July 30, 2006 at 9:47 AM | link to this | reply

Sadly, Shelly, not yet ...

Of course, I still have 11 hours or so left.

posted by Mademoiselle on July 30, 2006 at 9:43 AM | link to this | reply

Plus:

Roughly 10,000 crickets, nightcrawlers, goldfish, guppies, beetles, and superworms.

Cool list! Is Pavel dead yet? LOL

posted by shelly_b on July 30, 2006 at 9:42 AM | link to this | reply

All my "children" (current up to date):

12 scorpions

8 tarantulas

4 giant water bugs

3 flower manti

2 vinegarroons

2 venus fly traps

1 albino clawed frog

and a partridge in a pear tree.

How could you not know that, Shuttercat?

I posted pictures and everything!  Though, I likely need to re-upload them.

posted by Mademoiselle on July 30, 2006 at 9:35 AM | link to this | reply

Thank you, Troosha ...

I'll be delving into the details in short order, so it will all become much clearer.

posted by Mademoiselle on July 30, 2006 at 9:34 AM | link to this | reply

It is essentially impossible to hurt my feelings, Moon ...

Keep in mind, I have arguably the nastiest, cattiest, most vindictive, mean-spirited group of family and friends ever assembled.

posted by Mademoiselle on July 30, 2006 at 9:33 AM | link to this | reply

You have <i>pet</i> scorpions?

posted by AlienInsomniac on July 30, 2006 at 9:32 AM | link to this | reply

Great "to-do" list and you may not even have to repent

although killing Pavel may be a little extreme (but I don't know the circumstances).  :)

posted by Troosha on July 30, 2006 at 9:24 AM | link to this | reply

Madem, I hope I didn't hurt your feelings. (Sometimes a joke is just a joke.)  I would never have reported you. You're much to entertaining. Besides, personally, being the type of person that I am, I prefer blackmail.  Moon_Spirit

posted by syzygy on July 30, 2006 at 9:24 AM | link to this | reply

Actually, Pavel's my brother, Ariel ...

I'll explain all the details when I return.

posted by Mademoiselle on July 30, 2006 at 9:20 AM | link to this | reply

That he is, Bel ...

Story forthcoming ... I just have to go take care of some things first.

posted by Mademoiselle on July 30, 2006 at 9:19 AM | link to this | reply

Those are all good points, Moon ...

Of course, had I been alive back then, we would have never left St. Petersburg, seeing as it was a much nicer place before communism fell.

Mam'selle

 

Is one to assume that your emotional attachment to this Pavel person has become somewhat strained? Not to say frayed? Or, to put it a little more tactfully, has love turned to raging homicidal mania, wherein every implement is judged on its capacity to wreak hurt and death?

You don't have to sugar coat it, you know. You can come right out with it, we can bear it.

" Heaven hath no rage like Love to Hatred turned,

" Nor Hell a fury ike a woman scorned."

Now, tell me, why didn't the guy put " spurned" instead of scorned, eh?

Perhaps he was havin' a stalk an' slash moment himself.

Who is Pavel

sounds like he might be your brother.

P.S. It's all about timing and prompt action. Look at this way. In my youth, I could have made some money by telling the FBI about YOU. We watched Russians in those days. Of course, in my youth, even your mother was not born yet.  Moon_Spirit

Mademoiselle, the Government is notoriously slow in acting on information and even slower in paying rewards. If you report the neighbors now, it will get the wheels in motion. They don't actually have to do have done anything for the FBI to start watching them and these sting operations take forEV-ER.  There! Now you're on your way to receiving a hefty check in a few years. Moon_Spirit
