Oy!




my promise to chris upon moving into the new apartment was that i would be a better housekeeper (since - when pestered - that was his only complaint). so far...well...as you can see it's not going so great.....


hopefully tomorrow morning and i can manage to get myself out of bed early and not only get my exercising done but also clean. the apartment itself isn't too bad - it's mainly the second bedroom. it's become the 'if-it-doesn't-have-a-place-throw-it-on-the-floor' room. this was only made worse due to the fact that we moved in right at the start of the holidays. wrapping paper, clothes, cds, books, yarn....sigh.....


so...yeah....

Things to Do in 2008....


-be a better housekeeper. start with the second bedroom.
-do laundry on a regular basis and do not wait until a mountain has formed on the floor.
-exercise every single day


there's more of course but all i can think about is the cleaning at the moment. partly becuase i'm in the messy room and we have company coming over tomorrow. chris's sister megan will be in town :) i'm excited - she is really sweet but because she lives a few hours away i haven't really got a chance to hang out with her. we're going shopping tomorrow - ikea (good becuase i love ikea and bad because i am so freaking poor**....) so i'm looking forward to that.


alright. time for bed. mia and i had chipotle tonight. bad but SO good. i swear they put crack in their rice. you keep eating even though you know you've gone beyond stuffed. sigh...




**yeah - on top of the crown my other tooth started to hurt and that is very bad becuase that pain means i might need a root canal. curse you mother and your bad teeth genes! that and my phone is dying. cell phones are expensive. hmph. just in case you were wondering i am currently accepting large (or small - but preferably large) financial donations at this time.....


night :)

Yarn A-Go-Go....


i didn't realize i had amassed such a collection of yarns......
chris and i got a note today informing us that they'll be showing the apartment this week! this is stressful - the apartment is a) a mess and b) somewhere i'm not technically supposed to be living but all one of the closet and its contents say otherwise....
we decided to not worry about 'b' as it is what it is and we'll be gone in a month. as for 'a' we started to clean. this included doing the mountain of laundry we had and me attempting to sort through the mess i've made of his place....i can be a slob (i know i know...you find it hard to believe but trust me on this....)
i made some headway. the floor outside the closet can now be seen. first time in months. the chair in the living room can also be seen - in it before all that yarn - shown above! ay yi yi! where did it all come from? i only started crocheting 2 months ago! and so much yellow yarn from when i knitted that horid baby blanket for my nephew - SO much yellow yarn....
but it looks good now, eh? :)
i'm workin' on it.....

Dream 2

Dirty Stairs

Evidently I dreamt of dirty stairs last night. I have no recollection of this.

At around quarter to 3am I woke Chris up. He found me propped up on my elbow muttering about the stairs - how dirty they were. He tried to get me back to sleep but I insisted that the stairs were so dirty - and pointed at them so he would notice (i was pointing at the wall). After more insistance that the stairs were a mess I finally fell back asleep.
