An Incredibly Productive Day (05/20/13)

Okay the title of the blog is a wee bit sarcastic. Imagine that me, I, Marc Schlewing being sarcastic. Hell hath frozen over! LOL.

I haven't done all that much today though it is only 246pm so I have opportunities galore to change all that. I will have to slow down on the real beer intake though if I have any intention of being a semi-productive today.

Today's beer of choice is brewed out of Asheville, NC by the Highland Brewing Company. It's a seasonal India Pale Ale called "Devil's Britches". Can't go wrong just by the name. It is the beer choice of all Satan worshipers and people that think that any Budweiser or Miller-Coors beer is swill.

The label describes the beer as having an Ashburne Mild malt producing a toasted and biscuity flavor and that the Extra Special malt renders an alluring red hue. All this with a 6% ABV. Okay whatever! I feel like an effing English major after using the words toasted, biscuity and alluring in the same sentence. Schlewing's take is that the beer tastes darn good and is well worth the $16.99 I paid for a case of 12 at Green's last week.

I also noticed on the label that I need to not operate heavy machinery while imbibing this beer and I should not get pregnant either. I would have to have sex to get pregnant wouldn't I? Actually with advances in science nowadays I can skip the sex part as anything is possible with Science at least until Republicans outlaw it as being blasphemous and being against God. Kind of like their thoughts on enlightened thinking. I better look into in-vitro real soon. LOL.

Anyways back to my productivity levels of this 20th day of May. I have a load of honkies (aka as whites) in the dryer waiting to be folded. This implies that I actually put a load of laundry in the washer earlier today. Though there is no video depicting this Herculean effort on my part; it's true, it's true I loaded the washer up a couple of hours ago. Please stay seated and no applause needed. Smiles.

That pretty much sums up what I have done so far today.

Although for breakfast slash lunch I walked to the kitchen and I zapped some leftover beef lo mein, beef and broccoli and white rice that I had picked up from Lin Gardens on W. Georgia Rd yesterday afternoon.

Oh I also scratched the cats' bellies and heads as they were looking for affection at different points in time today. Thank goodness they are on different schedules as it would get complicated having to use both arms at the same time. That would be like real exercise and we can't have that!

Okay the dryer has stopped. I need to start folding or else I will need to iron stuff and I will re-wash stuff before I use an iron again!

Peace out Muse lovers! Back later.

Being Kind Of Productive!

Okay I don't usually write two of these within hours but I am amazing myself with how productive I have been so far today. Let me preface that with the productivity bar not being set that high. This is me that we are talking about after all. Mr. Let's Wait Before Doing Something aka Mr. Procrastination! LOL.

You know it may be that Kahlua that I put into two of my coffees this morning that gave me that extra get up and go go.

So here we about 4 or so hours after I got up and I have accomplished this so far. Three loads of laundry washed. Well the 3rd is on its' last cycle. A load of whites waiting to be folded. Pretty darn sure that I'll have to do that given that Jynx the Cat looks at clothes as a place to lay her plumpness down on and not a thing to help fold. Ha!

I even took a shower today. Cleanliness is important!

I did my Greene's run and now have some additional reds, ambers, ales and pales in my eventually to be depleted collection of spirits. As far as I know I have two places that I can go and get some decent priced and good tasting beers as well as decent enough lower priced reds. Greene's near the mall or Total Wines at the Shops at Greenridge. Let it be said that both of these choices are not places that you want to be near to on the last shopping day before Christmas if you have the lack of patience that I have for drivers in the Upstate. There were a few colorful words that escaped my lips as I was listening to Walter Rossi's "All The Best" on my CD player. I get stressed for nothing behind the wheel. My flipping out will do nothing to change the scenario except to raise my blood pressure which is not a good thing.

As usual I have "Deep Tracks" going and I just had to put on mute because they decided to play the deranged one's "Free For All". Up until a couple of years ago I could handle his music. Now that I know too much of his politics, it's instant ignore! Good thing that it is a short song.

Okay back to pleasant things like what I also have accomplished today so far today. I stopped at Food Lion to pick up a few things as mentioned earlier.

Here's the list of what I bought:
Cajun Andouille Sausage
Neptune Salad (crab and shrimp)
Green Cucumbers
Iceberg Lettuce (the Romaine didn't look too hot)
Jumbo Red Onions
Hothouse Tomatoes
Crumbled Feta Cheese
Hard Salami

It looks like I am planning on making some finger foods or snacks at some point today or tomorrow. I sure hope those sausage are good. I had the sampler plate at Mac's Speed Shop a couple of nights ago and andouille and kielbasa are rapidly becoming my go to snack food. I'm going to have to find a place here where I can pick up fresh and locally made sausage. I'll check Whole Foods or that other specialty food place out to source my fix for tastiness.

Okay the dryer just stopped. Now I have two loads to fold and one to transfer and another load to start.

Go Go Marc!
