midnight diner.
it’s not really a weekend at the lake house
with a group of friends
until someone
finds whatever they can
late at night
to saw through the plastic
and chop off a chunk of something in the kitchen.

not the light.
when people continue to push the wrong button
over and over and over again
attempting to turn out the light
opening the garage door instead
it’s clear they need more help
and calls for drastic measures.
they may not be sure what this is
but at least
they are now sure what it is not.

board meeting vs. bored meeting.
after someone moved
i was asked
to be an ‘at-large’ member
of my condo association board
filling in for a few months
but i soon
found myself elected to a two-year term.
i’m not really a fan of boards, meetings, or committees
nothing against them
just not my favorite pastime
so not exactly what i was hoping for
but i do want to say a big thank you
to all who voted for me
even if it possibly had something to do with
me being the only one willing to join
but that is neither here nor there now
you are all invited to at least one of my inaugural balls
i’ll get the invites out as soon as things calm down
i’m very busy
working on lining up the entertainment
and trying on gowns.

would you believe…?
saw this (now vintage) ad
from my younger days
and wondered
how many of you still owe columbia house the $1.00?
i keep waiting for someone to come to the door
looking to take back my records or cassettes.
or the dollar that i never sent in.

“both my parents worked, so i was home alone a lot, and i would listen to their records.
they belonged to the columbia house record club, so they had records!”

goofing off.
this is someone else (who is not me)
goofing off to celebrate one holiday,
while actively ignoring the clutter of the other holiday.
—
how incredibly lucky
that right after i realized it is
‘clutter awareness week’
i found out it is also
‘international goof off week’
so i decided to go all in on the goof off celebration.
i’ve never been one to shy away from honoring a holiday
but i can only spread myself so thin.
happy holidays to those of you who celebrate one or both.
