Hey, it's Friday and I'm not too blue to haiku!
Whether or not the men in my life give me enough time to formulate one is another story...
I should be working
on our joint business venture
but it's spring break, dude!
I'm always on break --
or at least I can be it seems.
I should be working.
I'm 3 hours short
on one of my project plans,
One on another.
But way over time
on blogging--imagine that?
Guess what I enjoy.
Have to color eggs
And DB needs a haircut.
Play catch-up next week?
Maybe with some help
from a fave sitter or two --
is it worth the cost?
Hard to justify
the expense without income.
The TV is free...
But not without costs
to DB's mood for the day;
Inverse proportion:
TV time goes up,
his mood goes right down after
about an hour.
(Is "hour" one syllable or 2?)

I think it is technically two syllables, but no one pronounces it that way. Anyhow, hope you take some time this holiday weekend without guilt - it's a holiday. Plenty of time for guilt next week ;)

Thanks! For haiku it seems more like 2. Sounds like a grey area at best! :)
i'm having one of those days, too. I need to be working on some other stuff or it will bite me in the a$$ next week, but instead I'm catching up on blogging. :)
Yes, blogging is interfering with my ability to accomplish what I need to. It's a disease! :)
When I'm in doubt of how many syllables a word is, I try to find a synonym. If it has one more than I need, I'll insert an apostrophe to make it fewer, the way Shakespeare did. For instance, this week I needed Wednesday to be a syllable shorter, so I wrote Wedn'sday so that there is no question of how many syllables it has.
Of course, as it's your haiku, you can make a questionable word have either pronunciation.
