BEACAUSE I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO

 

Because I have nothing better to do, and last night's hang over is gone, and well, it's extremely windy out and I just had my coiffure done, so I'm not going out, so there's that. I figured I'd take the opportunity to do one of those meme things I saw over at Anne Marie's, who took it from Penguin, who apparently took it from Dr.Spo. So let's get this stared, we are after all not getting any younger and I have a bottle of Hendricks calling

 

Leaves the bathroom light on upon exiting. Never, But I have accidently left a candle from time to time burning. One night I'll probably go up like Claudia Blazedale did at the La Mirage on Dynasty.

 Leaves the TV going when not in the room.  never. I usually shut it off right after whatever I am watching.

 Puts keys down next to the ‘key bowl".   My keys always go in my messenger bag when I get in. The only time they go in a bowl is when I'm at one of those parties where you place in the fish bowl, and then are shocked to see who your going home with. This is the very reason I avoid being here when my mailman comes. He apparently thought this was the all night Denny's.

 Answers the phone (rather than screening calls) yet becomes annoyed it is a telemarketer.  Well I guess screen, because I haven't mastered yet how to answer this here switchboard I have at the Casa du Borghese.

 Laundry is done infrequently, en masse,then there are no more clean garments, rather than in continual small loads.Laundry? You have obliviously mistook me for a domestic goddess. Most goes to the dry cleaner, except towels...that's what houseboys are for. But I can usually break out fur and suits if no clean garments are available.

 

 Often eats standing up at the counter in order to watch TV rather than sitting at table with the other.  I always dine at my table for meals, except dessert. I usually take that on the Lad, or Daddy Warbucks, or the houseboys or....

 

Throws out recyclables even though there is a ‘recycle bin’.    Nope, I recycle everything... including my men! We have separate bins for the different materials on the grounds.

 

Directly drinks out of the milk carton.   Never. I was raised proper. My dear mother always says, never drink directly from a container, gin bottles included, sit with your legs crossed, and always keep both feet on the floor.

 

Leaves half-consumed beverages all over the house. Never. Who IN HELL would have THAT MUCH TIME to collect all the gin and tonic old- fashioned's sitting around. And me, leave a half consumed spirit??? Surely you jest

 

Saves even the smallest of leftovers ‘to avoid waste’ only to have them thrown out later when they go horrid.   I am guilty of this sometimes.....even with my men.

 

Won’t watch something on TV without doing two or three other things as well. When viewing tv, I never do anything else

 

Plays Enya.Enya? Never a fan. I'd rather hear a cat in heat. My latest obsession is this adorable chap.....George Ezra..... his voice makes me swoon....

 

  
Uses 2-3x more pots, pans, and kitchen utensils than is necessary when cooking.  Never.

 

Clothes are folded first by sorting them into taxonomies rather than as they come out of the hamper. Clothes are folded or hung as they come out of basket. I'll go check and make sure that's how it's done.

Sleeps with the bedroom door open to the certain doom of us all.  Never. My door is always closed. It's a subliminal thing. When I go to bed, I close the door, like shutting out the world for the night. Besides, if I'm going to be killed or raped in the night, I don't want to see it coming.

 

Doesn’t put spices and herbs back to their original position which is - alphabetical order.  Even though I do have some OCD, I'm not that crazy. I do have two cupboards, one for sweet baking ingredients and one for savory baking needs.

 

Well now that was fun, and oh look...my gin and tonic is good and chilled. Cheers darlings!
