Away in a Flat, No Crib for a Bed

My container is stuck between London and Miami.Next week my family is going to be here. I have a loan futon and a loan chair, two lounge chairs and three bar stools. Oh! Let's not forget the twin air mattress.
Christmas is around the corner. I guess if Mary and Joseph could give birth in a manger, we could sit on the floor and eat grilled cheese sandwiches.

Alone in the Office ...

Sitting alone in the office makes my mind wander. Maybe I have an active imagination, maybe have read too many books, maybe I have watched too much internet entertainment. I'm here working late, got to be ready for the holidays, right? Everyone has already gone home, Christmas shopping or just out having fun. Me? I am here enjoying some Ne-Yo ... One in a miiilllion parapapa. That boy is good. Even my Miss Independent self got to admit that he does make me go ooooohhh haaaaaa. Sitting alone in the office makes my mind wander. I start to think about hunky cleaners coming in after hours or an IT geek working long hours not realizing there is another person in the building. He makes himself comfortable .... really comfortable. See the air-conditioning can get very cold if you have been sitting in it for hours. I can understand that one might turn it off ... and then it gets to be sweltering hot. If you are wearing a suit and tie, you get hot. Really hot. Oh! Don't you know it .....

One of my own stories Fireworks and Gossip

A while ago I wrote this short story. Meant to publish it but never got around to it. Here it is for your enjoyment.

Always nice when you can tick things off. My weekend was uneventful. I stayed in and worked around the house. The basement has been needing a paint for years. So I cleared it out on Saturday. Sunday was spent on the couch doing the research and looking at the neighbours. They just moved in across the street. I think they are bird watchers or maybe they like looking at stars because the first things they moved in are a couple of stethoscopes.

Listening to a Dialtone

The phone rang right in the middle of Glee. I jumped out of my chair and grabbed the receiver. There is a leak in the roof and they were going to try to fix it. I thought it was the builder telling me they couldn't fix it. Why would someone call when i am watching them perform New York? I snatch the phone and curtly say: "Hello?" Nothing... then a dialtone. I look at the receiver as if it was a person and scowl. Then I smile a little as jsut yesterday I had a conversation with Carlos about him calling and hanging up before I can answer the phone. According to him he lets the phone ring a million times before he hangs up and I say it rings maximum of three times. So now I am thinking that it is him "teaching" me a lesson. I call him back. The phone rings and no answer. Now I am mad. I can't believe I am missing Glee for this. I pledge revenge, hang up and make myself comfortable once again. Twenty minutes later, the phone rings again. Now, I will teach this...
