I can do five and seven, we just need to negotiate a fee, when the time comes.

Please, if I am rich, you are rich. Because it would be no fun being rich if you still had to work for a living. I'd get bored.

Great list!

8. Floss my teeth.
Shut up. It's a pain, okay?
It totally is. :)

Yup.

A lady of leisure. I might get bored. Eventually. But that would just mean I wasn't doing it right.

And those excerpts are the ONLY fun I get out of essay grading!

Oh, #1 is awesome. I've been known to leave my office if my phone is ringing. That's what messages and email are for, ya know?

Right there with you on #7 too. I'll get together with people for dinner, and say 'can I help?' (hey, it's the polite thing to do), and they'll say 'sure, you can make the salad, that's easy', and I'm thinking GOD NO, I'LL LOSE A FINGER.

It's not that I find chopping the vegetables unpleasant. Just that it's more time-consuming than I generally prefer for lunch.

Sometimes when I tell people I'm sorry something took so long, I omit the real reason: it involved a phone call. If a phone call is part of a task, it's literally delayed several days.

I would pay big bucks for #5. *side-eye at misreall*

My number 1 is "work out for me." I know, I know, but it's my imaginary world.

2. and 3. are clear out my garage and basement. Which I could find people to do, but I have to LOOK AT each and every thing, and make a DECISION about it. That's the real work. I literally have nightmares about cleaning out my basement.

Maybe it's genetic. Of course, Dad was on the phone all the time, so who knows.

Oh, wouldn't THAT solve a lot of problems.

And I feel you on your 2 & 3. I have a fraction of your space but my clutter intimidates the hell out of me.

Just let me know when, MM.
