Questions for Nanook

Dear Nanook,

Okay...so I was just thinking ....of all the reasons that you might really be staying for another week:

1. I haven’t figured out how to hook up your computer again yet
2. I forgot to water the houseplants and they’re dead
3. Basement walls are not texture sprayed yet
4. Lawn is brown
5. Fear of the town of Merton about the driveway approach
6. Our precious cat no longer knows who you are
7. I have no job and can't support you
8. It's too hot and humid here
9. Your cough will irritate me
10. "24" isn't on on Mondays anymore and you’re still looking for Jack Bauer
11. The kids forgot where we live
12. YOU forgot where we live
13. Purvis left for a week
14. Grass grew an inch in the last month and you'll have to mow the lawn
15. You want the Blog to continue
16. I drooled on your pillow
17. Your fax machine isn't fixed yet
18. The deck has no plants and flowers on it
19. The bathroom isn't repainted yet
...and the top 20th reason you don't want to come home...there's gargantuan weeds in the back yard and you know I won’t be pulling them.

Well, am I right? I'm really disappointed that you won't be home Thursday, but as my mom always says....I'll live. In fact, I don't know that your coming home is such a great idea...I'm used to being by myself now. Maybe you'll just be in my way. (ha ha) Getting ready to sell the place, in fact. With the remodeling, I figure we'll get a good price and I can get a really nice trailer somewhere in Arkansas.
