Where have I been this week? The Pentagon City Mall, The Smithsonian Natural History Museum, The National Archives, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to listen to the National Symphony Orchestra, Huntley Meadows, along the River in Alexandria, the grocery store, the Library, and the gym a couple of times.
What is the Photo above? An internal stairway at the Natural History Museum, I thought it looked best in black and white.
What am I reading? I will finish Ina Garten's memoir before this posts, then I should finish Essays from the Sunshine State, and I have a novel laying on my desk to read.
Who have I talked with? My sweet bear . . . I am getting out but not talking to strangers. I had a surprise call from an old lawyer friend, looking for a referral. That call caused me to reach out to three former colleagues, and none of us knew anyone in Idaho. I have been trading emails with a couple of dear bloggers. I reached out to a Niece, and sent a chatty letter to my oldest brother who had a birthday this week.
What are my plans for Thanksgiving? I am down to roasting one or two turkeys a year, Thanksgiving is turkey day for me.
What made me laugh this week?
I read this too fast, and had another worn-out hole come to mind. If that makes you laugh, you have my kind of sick mind.
What was laying on the sidewalk that made me wonder this week?
Medicinal, how many sick people are there wandering our streets? I bet sales will increase over the next couple of years.
What is my strategy for the next week? Shop for the special holiday meal, get out and about, and stay distracted.
Who deserves a slap this week? The moron who is picking cabinet officers who are totally unqualified nutters. Out of 5, at least 500.
How is my mood? Improving, slowly.
I don't get the belt ad.. Perhaps I have lived a sheltered life. More likely, I do not have a sick mind.
ReplyDeleteNot surprising, and we like you just the way you are.
DeleteI have your kind of mind; you are not alone!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are menu planning tomorrow; we'll have a small crowd, about eight or ten, on Friday for Friendsgiving, with turkey and all the extras and Carlos' delicious Pumpkin Cheesecake!
Sounds like fun. I need to decide on a vegetable. maybe whatever I find at the farmers market this Saturday.
DeleteMy mind went there too!
ReplyDeleteI am dining with friends so I only have to bring one thing to the party.
A few years ago I made the infamous green bean casserole, from scratch, it was very good.
DeleteI'm planning for Thanksgiving, too. I host and my sister and BIL bring the turkey while I make all of the sides and desserts. I do a gluten-free, dairy-free meal as my daughter needs that. It still tastes delicious and I've done it several years now so it has gotten easier... Holiday distractions are helping me to not think about Frump. I read on another blog today, "When you elect a clown, you are going to get a circus."
ReplyDeleteI took a roast turkey to Walt Disney World one Thanksgiving, my parents had taken their motorhome to stay at Ft Wilderness.
DeleteYou had an adventure-filled week! My family will be here for Thanksgiving. I am preparing my grocery list according to the menu and will be out early Monday morning to get the shopping done. I trulyndislike navigating crowded grocery stores.
ReplyDeleteYou will have a house full.
DeleteDear David, "unqualified nutters" is too kind a description. I'm waiting to see what high-level position the Nazi Pillow Guy will get.
ReplyDeleteIf there was a director of mental health.
