We Don't Always Do What We Always Do

Thursday was a bust.

But I LOVE this Saturday morning with no responsibilities and I mean not one.  Home Alone.  Better than a vacation. 

The boys are on a college trip.  Kitchen work is nearly finished.  Just me and my coffee.  Lounging around in my penguin shorts.  A Beautiful June Day.  So many possibilities.  The world is mine.

Here's what I do with my glorious freedom:

drink coffee, email, shower, eat grapes, read the paper, and begin to dust the bookcase.

Serious dusting - layers of sawdust, plaster dust, house dust.  Trying to straighten up.  Tell me, how many decks of cards does one family need?  We don't even play cards.



And how many used twist ties, clips and clothes pins?  What were they doing on the bookcase to begin with?  Then again, I could use them for art...




Give it a clever title:  "Attachment Theory".  All it needs is the right lighting and a frame.


I've been saving other little things in a box for an art project. 





What would you do with these precious items?

  1. I see some opportunity for collaboration here. Would you like my bag of used popsicle sticks for your art project box? Or my identical bowl of not-quite-full decks of cards? How about my collection of singleton earrings?

  2. The earrings are tempting. As for popsicle sticks and stray cards, perhaps we should make a trip with them to Unique Thrift.

  3. Wow, I actually love "Attachment Theory!" The aesthetics AND the title.

    Very clever, indeed!
