What is it about these old disco songs that makes you want to get out and boogie?
In platform shoes?
I was a bit young for the disco craze of the 70's, but that funky sound makes me smile. Now, some of you had better luck than others doing the Electric Slide last week, so I'm not going to actually MAKE anyone dance today.
You can just shimmy your shoulders a little bit, right where you are sitting. You know you want to.
We had 16 hockey players over to spend the night on Friday night, and then they stayed most of the day on Saturday. Somehow, Tom ended up being the only adult around on Saturday, so I was called back into duty from my "personal retreat" at my neighbor's house (where I had escaped to their empty house from all the teenage testosterone). I sadly put my laptop away and set down the TV remote (they had cable...."What Not to Wear!" made me feel so alive) and came back home to help cook hamburgers and ride herd.
There were are few things I did not get done before the onslaught of 13-15 year olds. I had cleaned the house, but did not get to the floors and rugs. The mopping would have to wait, and I knew the boys would not actually notice that the floors weren't clean. I figured they would not notice that the throw rugs had crumbs in them, either.
I was so right.
But today, those throw rugs call to me. They need a good shaking, and probably even a good vacuuming. Today's Small Thing is to shake out the rugs in your house. (Just the ones you can lift...you don't have to do the one under the dining room table.)
You may only have one throw rug in your entire house. If that's the case, it's your lucky day. Give it a shake outside the door and collect your points. For the rest of us with a few more, we'll still have an easy job. It won't take but a few minutes! If you really want to get down to business, you can vacuum them, but that would really be going over the top!
POINTS: 40 for shaking your rugs' booties.
