Me & My Muse – Day 4549: I’m All About That List…

klwalker2 Me & My Muse, The Walker Estate

Santa’s list.  No trouble!  Just kidding.  having not done this for a few years, I am working on a new list.  The list that I am making is a list of all the things that I need to do before Christmas.  It is a short list, and I plan on getting mostly everything done on it within the next few days.

The Winter Solstice is also today, so if you think our days are too short, don’t worry.  Today will be the shortest day of the year.  After that, our days will slowly and gradually get longer and longer.

Getting back to the list, one of those items is already done.  My laundry was washed on Friday, so that’s one less thing to worry about.

That is an example of one of the items on my list.  As for the others, I will leave that up to your imagination to figure them out.

 

Muse:  You don’t have a list.

Twin Muse:  You’re right.  He’s bluffing!

That is where you are wrong.  The list that I have is a mental list.  It saves paper and I can throw it away when I am done.

Muse:  Fair enough.  Today, I plan on getting some Christmas treats made for my company that will be coming over soon…

Twin Muse:  Fine.  And just to let you know twinnie, I already started on the Christmas treats.

Sounds good.  Another item on that list is more recreational, and it has already been completed.

Muse:  Christmas footage, right? I’m done with my footage too!  All that’s left is to watch some Christmas specials and movies!

Twin Muse:  Wasn’t that footage fun?  Let’s watch all the classics!  Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, A Charlie Brown Christmas…

With the footage already done, that sounds like a good idea.  Well, it’s time to complete our lists!

Muse:  I’m way ahead of you on that.  Good luck on yours.  Bye!

Twin Muse:  We’re almost done, twinnie.  Anyway, good luck on your list, Kyle.  Bye!

 

It’s time to take a breather.   I still need to write my dreams for today.  I also want t complete the devotionals.  From there, I’m just going to take it easy for the rest of the day.

Today’s high is going to be 26 degrees and the silver lining will be getting more items on my list accomplished.

To everyone who loves to work on their to-do list, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse:  I don’t have much more to do on my list!  Time to go and make some cookies!  These are going to be good…

Twin Muse:  My list is also done too!  I’m going to make some appetizers and will frost the cookies when they’re done!  Those smell so good.  I can’t wait!

Me & My Muse – Day 4548: Na’vi Hangover

klwalker2 Me & My Muse, The Walker Estate

What do you get when you stay up until midnight and wake up at seven in the morning?  You get a Na’vi Hangover.  It’s really just a headache.  The movie was good, but the next day side effects aren’t.

Okay.  The headache really isn’t as bad as I’m making it out to be.  Now I’ll get to the movie…

That’s strange.  My Twin Muses are not responding.  I’m guessing that they’re still sleeping.  We’ll discuss the movie when they’re awake.  I promise.  Well, it’s time to get ready for the day.

Today’s high is going to be 37 degrees and the silver lining will be having the weekend off.

To all of you who have experienced next day headaches, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

*Muse tosses and turns in her sleep*

Muse: *snore* No…Varang…Stay away…AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

*Twin Muse tosses and turns in her sleep*

Twin Muse:  Stop it, Quaritch!  Stop it……AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Me & My Muse – Day 4547: Avatar: Fire and Ash Begins Tonight…

klwalker2 Me & My Muse, The Walker Estate

For those of you who don’t know, Avatar: Fire and Ash begins tonight.   I already got the movie tickets so that really simplifies things…

Muse:  Aren’t you excited?  I surely am!

Twin Muse:  Eee!!!  I’m very excited!

Yes.  I’m very excited!  To hold me over, I’ll be having some Christmas sweets before I leave for the movie tonight.

Muse:  I even made myself a Na’vi.  Don’t I look good?

Twin Muse:  So am I.  We both look good.  Oel ngati kameie.

I see you, too.  Both of you!  Muse and Twin Muse, I love that you’re both actual Na’vi.  Or those avatar bodies that you’re piloting or are you actual Na’vi?

Muse: Real Kyle.  Don’t you see them?  Four fingers and four toes.  Awnga lu ke taw Na’vi!

Twin Muse: Yemstokx’t lu a skxawng.

Well, it’s a good thing that I brushed up on my Na’vi.  Muse, you said that we’re not sky people and Twin Muse told me to not be a moron.  But wow!  You’re pretty tall!  I’m just a little shorter than Tuktirey, Tuk for short.

Muse:  Yeah.  You’re just as tall as Na’vi child.

You’ll have to be careful out there on Pandora.  The RDA is going to get their revenge for sure in this movie.

Muse:  We will be.  We have Jakesully and his family and the rest of the tribe that he has allied with.

Twin Muse:  I want to play with the children.  Uvan si matsmuke!  (Play, my sister!)

Muse:  Nga uvan si! (You play!)

That’s cute.  You’re both nine feet tall and you want to play?

Muse:  SHE wants to play!  I want to fly!  *ululates* Ayyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyi!!!!!!

Twin Muse:  That’s a good idea.  I still need to find my Ikran.

Muse:  Go and find it.  I’m going to fly to the theater.

Twin Muse:  Not without me.  I think I see one, and it wants to attack me!  *Twin muse ties vine around Ikran’s mouth and mounts before using her braid to connect to the creature*  Feel the creature…Understand it.  Think.  Fly!

*Twin Muse flies gracefully into the sky with her Ikran*

Muse:  Not without me, sister! Pey tsmuke! (Wait sister!)

*Muse calls Ikran, mounts it, and takes off in quick pursuit of her*

I love the sibling rivalry.  I actually don’t work today so I’ll want to be productive before the evening.  Later on, I’ll be heading off to the movie, so that will be fun.

Well, it’s time to get ready for the day.

Today’s high is going to be 24 degrees and the silver lining is seeing Avatar: Fire and Ash tonight.

To all of you who like seeing a good movie, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse:  So you finally caught up!  Do you think that we’ll see the Sully family soon?

Twin Muse:  I think I see them over there!  Jakesully on his Toruk with Neytiri on her Ikran.  Tuk is riding with her.  Both Lo’ak and Kiri are riding on their own Ikrans.  Let’s go over and greet them!
