best laid men of mice and plans........uh oh.

i wish DS had a ridiculous option for our entries......
best laid men with mice and plans...
.......was my SECOND THOUGHT
right after rising to the tune of "Ow Ow Ow." me poor aching body.......
.......took a good five to ten minutes before i realized, that thought didn't come out quite right.  in fact wrong. definitely a misquote.
ya see, last night i made a plan for today.
    The To Do List:
    1. deposit check in bank (this is the 2nd time I paid the phone bill to a closed account.  the phone folks were so kind, they waived the late fee & the fee they charge when you pay over the phone, this saved me $15.......and the guy helping me, adopted me,sounded like he is Sam's age.  he told me that my kids should live with me........maybe somebody should, but not today.  this time i managed to hide the old account, which I already thought I had done.......good ol brain fog.)
    2. return watch to store, got it Nov. 8th, doesn't work, thinking they will offer a new battery (if I ask nicely)
         if this works YAY --- if not get a refund. (found this sterling watch with a pretty blueface, so cute.......made by Armitron , in the jewelry case at JCPenneys marked down to $48,original price $60, liked it (tried it on but didn't buy it) and then found it on clearance at Wal Mart for $30.  love saving $$$$
 


     3. cut & trace insoles to fit favorite comfy lady flats that have odd sticky residue inside left shoe. somehow the adhesive from the bottom  of the original insole ended up on the part where the foot rests......it feels weird & slickery.
(the pads are a size men's 13, so ya gotta trace & cut em to size.)
      4. black Rit dye and a box of salt.  (somehow I killed a black sweater, came out of the dryer with stubborn white fabric bits , don't remember what from........let's all sing the BRAIN FOG SONG......  to date, tried to pick off the bits, can't get them out......next tried a razor to shave it off, then got an actual fabric shaver.......no help.  i have never used RIT dye before --- know this could go terribly  wrong.  still thinking this over.  only got to wear the cutest sweater of life two times so don't be surprised if I end up confused as to why I end up with black hands/arms up to my elbows.  ........please Lord watch out for this babylike fool!!!!!!!
       5. and so the list goes and grows. Bruce said he's coming by to check on me AND ALL THE OAK LEAVES FROM THE GIANT OAK TREES IN THE FRONT YARD......  please Lord, help him resist the urge to quit......he's so awesome! (bruce handles lawncare/ general handyman work & we have good conversation as well)
But then around 6 am the house woke me up.  At first I was kinda skeert (Dolly Parton Butcher Holler slang for afraid)......not understanding what I was hearing.  Got the cold shivers.....I was spooked.
... it was so dark........in here.  Dark as pitch.  I am a night light girl.  Blue butterfly night lights in the living room, master bath, kitchen..........so when I wake up at night I don't trip or stumble .....not as much anyway.  (got 'em at the Dollar Tree.... inexpensive and make a pretty soft blue butterfly light pattern on the walls.......
heard some chirping noises.......then something hit the house (a loud snap/wooden slap sound), the motion sensor over the garage door came on abruptly, then I heard humming here and there......as the frig/hvac and other things came back to life.........the chirping belonged to the smoke alarm which is not connected to the power....cause it's battery operated........but i was too out of it to figure out what that noise was after too little sleep.  got up to investigate, reset all the clocks and putter on the 'puter for a bit
And that's how things came about you see........being up TOO early -- hitting an early wall of zonky wonkies .......had a cup of chili for breakfast.  Warm and good in my tummy tum tum........it got cold here last night........so when I woke up FOR THE SECOND TIME OF THE DAY.......I was stiff as a board.
Stiff & achy breaky........puttering off to the bathroom and that's when I thought "best laid men with mice and plans".  a brain fog relay delay.........then a few minutes later, started to giggle. "That's wrong sweet pea.......it's "best laid plans of mice and men."
but by now it's lodged in my brain--- i imagine it as a category on the game show Jeopardy.
....imagine if you will: Best Laid Men with Mice & Plans (at the top of the category board).
Now imagine Alex Trebek announcing the category, and the somber highly intelligent guests taking those words in (how will he explain it????) more idiotic giggling coming from moi..........I have surely cracked the funny old giant walnut sitting on these shoulders.
So........if you wanna play along here goes (sample answers) I will be ashamed later......
...can you hear the Jeopardy Theme music????
BEST LAID MEN OF MICE & PLANS:
George Clooney on his honeymoon in a castle with a rodent issue.
The pest exterminator who didn't show up to clear out the rodents pre-arrival of the happy couple.
King Henry the VIII, after wedding (and prior to beheading) the beautiful Anne Boleyn.
Herman Munster (from that old sixties TV show "The Munsters".)  He is a happily married man (wedded to Lily Munster who sleeps with a lily draped across her chest & her arms crossed, it's a very silly show) and they gotta have Mice........for Spot (their house pet that looks like a dragon doggie).......and for Grandpa, who has a mad scientist lab down in the dungeon.
Will I go to the bad hot place for this?  Lord, it may be wrong,but it still strikes me as funny. OK, I know it's wrong, but brain fog can be FUNNY........funny & wrong all day long!
I would say "I'm not well" but then we already KNOW THAT.  maybe you will come up with answers for this category as well........or then again maybe not.  I will arrange to sit on the naughty mat or in the penalty box......and repent my idiocy. 
I won't be going anywhere today.........instead I will make a small roast, cook it til it's crazy tender and falls apart with a fork..... add Bullseye Original BBQ sauce......and serve it on slider buns. 
I sat out on the porch for a minute.......there are so many leaves that the sidewalk has disappeared.  Someone, possibly my non blue skinned genie will appear and take care of this???? I wish I wish I wish......if the Genie is already helping you at your house I can wait........it is lovely outside.  63 w/ clear blue skies.
How are you this fine day?  I need an oil can.......and more sleep.  Just as soon as I get outta trouble....hugs! Time to put the little roast in the oven.........b - y - e for now!
