One of These Nights...I Might Finish What I Started

My plan tonight (Monday) was to write a post that I could use for the next day so that I could wake up and just 'poof' add it to the list for Day 19. In the evening my husband and I often  watch a show that we have recorded.  He thought I had a good idea about writing my post so he suggested we don't watch anything...or if we do...let it be something where I would not have to focus much...more of a background.  Good idea!

"How about the History of the Eagles?"  he said...thinking that some music in the background would be good for creative thoughts.

It is now 10:02 in the evening and the show has ended...all three hours and fifteen minutes....and the story about my Uncle Frank has yet to be written. Take It Easy sang the Eagles...and that is just what I did.  I can not believe that I watched this show and did not bother getting on line, reading the newspaper, writing my post...or any other various things I do while watching television.  That Peaceful Easy Feeling of finishing a post for my blog is  Already Gone.  

So...was it a good documentary?  Yes...if you like the Eagle's music...watch it...just don't count on getting much done when it is on. :-)    Now, I hear my cat approaching...and you all know... It's Difficlt to Type wit a Cat on Your Lap  So I will Take It Easy and enjoy the rest of the evening.  You know....I no longer feel like The New Kid in Town with this Slice of Life Challenge.  Thanks for all your comments and support.  Thanks Stacey and Ruth for organizing the Slice.  I think I am in for The Long Run.

  1. Oh man, I feel the same way most of the time... I take stacks of papers home thinking, "I am going to grade this while I watch something on netflix!" but it never happens. NEVER!

    Thanks for sharing!

    1. I find reading the other blogs fascinating...and feel like I am getting to know some of the bloggers.

  3. I think everyone has nights like this. I know I have the best intentions sometimes, but then, I sit down nothing gets done. Usually, though, the relaxation is just what I needed even though I might not realize it at the time.

  4. The titles you wove into this piece were perfect. At least you weren't a Witchy Woman with Lyin' Eyes. Take It Easy because this group understands.
    Glad you have joined and it sounds like you will be here after the month ends.

  5. You know what they say about 'the best laid plans' and I think it's true. Last week I was on spring break and I thought I'd write a few extra posts, but it just didn't happen. I think that if you enjoyed your evening, it was well worth the deviation from the plan. By the way, there was a time when we listened to the Eagles every day.

  6. That was fun...one of my favorite bands! You wove the best songs in, too.

  7. When my now grown daughter was in high school she came home and told me about a new band that was great. They were called The Eagles. I sang Hotel California to her and she was shocked. I was a teenager in the '70s, she had no idea they were a band I had listened to also!

    1. Yes, they have made a come back. That is funny about your daughter telling you about a new band.
