"Git Her Done"

Confession:

Everyone has a vice, right?
Today is the day
to own up to mine.

Back-story:
Jim has the power.
He controls the clicker.

You know,
that object
that allows one to
surf through the channels
on the TV.

I believe that I hold
the all time record
for watching 3 to 5 minute
segments of:
news, weather, history.
You name it.

Not that it matters,
I am a reader
not
a television watcher
but...

In five minute blips
I really like "Larry the Cable Guy."
I wouldn't admit this predisposition
to just anybody but I thought
this once confession would be good
for the soul.

Larry is a consummate
story teller in off-color
fashion and his tag line
is "Git her done."

The line "Git her done"
brings the house down every time,
produces gales of laughter.

I've taken the bait.

When the unfinished projects amass:
on the table in the corner of the den,
in the knitting box,
on the top of the hope chest...

I prompt myself:
"Git her done."
And laugh.

Sometimes it works.

I need to finish
just the trim
on a cranberry shrug
for Grace.

Four rows at most...
lots of stitches though.

I tried "Git her done,"
a few times yesterday.

I just laughed.
And started a new project.

I could try guilt.
I have a knitted hat for Frances
and nothing for Grace.

Nah!
Guilt isn't fun.

Discipline:
No new library book...
No playing with the new yarn...
No surfing for knitting patterns on the web
until you finish one project.

Jeez!
Talk about killing joy.

I think I'll watch
"Larry the Cable Guy"
on Comedy Central
and git Grace's shrug
done.
