Dear Peoria Pundit,

We've frittered away a day. And what a gorgeous day it was. I spent the better part of it repotting plants, sweeping my deck and my patio. I helped my children make lemonade and watched my oldest son help my husband mow the yard.

My youngest son slept very late today because he was up late at a slumber party the night before.

I cleaned my cat's litter box and played fetch with my dog.

I payed bills, phoned friends and family.

I planted more vegetables in the containers we bought at the garden store yesterday. My youngest and I had already planted peas, beans and tomatos...all that was left was radishes.

As a family, we saw a good 3-D movie yesterday. After the movie, we all enjoyed a great meal of pasta...my husband and my son put the sauce together in the morning and it cooked all day.

All the windows in the house were open today and there was a wonderful breeze throughout the house. I spent a couple hours reading on the swing that sits on my deck.

Unfortunately, my husband had to work (it is his Sunday to work this month) but we did spend time together before he left. As usual, he gave me a nice smooch before he went to work and we agreed that we wished he could stay home.

Later, I cooked dinner for my children and a neighbor boy ate with us, too. We had chicken breasts and a nice salad and the lemonade we'd made earlier.

Once the sun set, the boys took the trash out for their dad so he wouldn't have to get up extra early.

There were a couple things that almost ruined the day for me, but you know what? None of that matters. It was a good day in the "real" world.

In fact, it was a really, really beautiful day.

I see you've deleted all the comments. AGAIN, not something I do, as a matter of fairness. Hey it's YOUR blog.

Not as much fun when someone keeps commenting on your blog in a way YOU don't like. Toodles.

I'm sorry you're such a sad, lonely man, Billy. Peace.

Billy Dennis said...

Tell, Rixie. Is it fun having a commenter who disagrees with how you run your blog and just WILL NOT go away?

And if you want me to have "peace," you will stop continuing to post comments using proxies and fake email addresses, "vampire@hotmail.com"

It's amazing how I am such an asshole and how my site is so lame, but you CAN. NOT. STAY. AWAY.

I am so enjoying the Hell out of this.

With each and every comment you leave, Billy, you reveal more and more about yourself. I hope you have someone to smooch your cheek, kiss you hello and goodbye, someone to cook for and tell you "I Love You" today.

Billy Dennis said...

OH, and know you have dishonestly changed the content of the post to make it look like I am crapping all over a nice little essay about a day spent with family. Nice touch. Again, nothing I would choose to do, but hey, it's your blog.

You've chosen to continue commenting on this post despite my editing and re-writing it. I simply came to the conclusion that I'd focused on the wrong stuff yesterday. But keep commenting, doesn't bother me a bit. Again, I'm sorry that you're such a sad, lonely man.

Cool, so you are doing the container gardening. Good luck. By the way, I have three tomatoes hanging from my Topsey Turvey Tomato plant thingy...

rixie said...

Ooh! I can't wait to hear how those tomatoes do...can you grow any old variety in those things? I have a garden dug, but my soil is so awful that I need another year to amend it.

Really? When I have something new to say, I simply ... start a new post. Are the Peoria Speaks people charging you on a per post basis?

Rix said...

Well, thanks for your opinion Billy! I sure do appreciate it and will take it under consideration. The folks at Peoria Speaks don't charge me a dime for my blog...and they've never even asked for a donation nor do they accept advertisers! How 'bout that?
