Nice Thing About Being Retired.....

...So far, anyway, is that I'm having lots of time to sit around reading blogs whilst waiting for relays of realtors to arrive. I found this goody over at Red Nose. I think I could get the hang of this without any trouble at all:

Yeah, I Could Do That

I have decided that I really want to be a member of the idle rich.

I have not come to this decision lightly; no, I have given it a lot of thought and I have realized that I have all of the qualifications, to wit:

* I enjoy sitting on my ass.
* I am quite willing to let other people shampoo my hair, massage my back, and scrape the calluses off my feet.
* I float on rafts really well, especially if there is a cold sparkling beverage in my hand.
* I look great in big sunglasses.
* And expensive clothes.
* I could get used to being driven around in a big comfortable car quite easily.
* Or sedan chair, upholstered in silk with big poofy pillows.
* I am quite capable of telling other people how to clean my spacious house that is full of the Latest Things.
* Gourmet food? Love it. No problems there, especially since someone else would cook it for me, unless I wanted to make a BLT for myself.
* With artisanal bacon and excellent bread and fabulous homegrown tomatoes.
* Grown in my extensive organic vegetable garden by my hot gardener.
* Which is behind the Olympic pool and hot tub.
* Next to the cabana.
* Which is maintained by the cabana boy(s).
* Anyway! I'm highly skilled at delegating and critiquing and demanding (but in a nice way), especially if it means that I don't have to do any of it, which seems to be a main requirement for being idly rich.

Now I just need to figure out how to join...
