It Figures ...

 
that today would totally not be my day.

I've been up since 8am, actually at the grocery store by 9am to get the last of my groceries to make a nice Sunday supper.  So what happens?  They have three scraggly parsnips and only half gallon chocolate milks.  Plus they wanted $1.15 for Cream of Mushroom Soup.  I think I'll wait until closer to Thanksgiving when the price goes down, thank you very much. 

So I take my scraggly parsnips (and it always kills me that I have to tell the checkout kids what the vegetables are) and my pitiful half gallon of chocolate milk (which may or may not make it through today) and went home.  To my completely frozen roast.

Lest you think that I am a complete and total idiot, I did take out the stupid thing last night and put it in the fridge.  So it had been thawing for a good nine hours.  Apparently I should have taken it out three days ago.  So it is in the microwave defrosting.  Which it will still be doing a half hour from now because microwave defrosting and I are not friends.

Also, every single pot and pan that I need to make this supper is dirty.  Why did say I would do this?  Granted it's just my mom coming over, but still.  I think we would like to eat before the next century at least.

Confusion and Cleaning

My mind has started to slip.  I got out of my car today and noticed that I had forgotten to change my shoes.  I am wearing my flip flops that I wear for around the house and after showers.  I had my shoes all ready to change into but apparently my brain had other ideas.  At least I wasn't wearing my slippers.  Although the pink and purple stripes would look absolutely darling with my teal shirt.

Possibly I am still suffering the aftereffects of the ILL & Copyright webinar I attended yesterday.  The presenter completely freaked out one of my co-workers before we realized that what the presenter said and what was true were two totally different things.  That was fun.  Also, very confusing and brain hurting. 

When I got home last night, the only thing I wanted to do was something not brain hurting.  Cause pain and I  are totally unmixy things.  So I told myself that I was going to read until 6pm.  Then I was going to get up, make supper and do some stuff around the house.  When I finished the book at 8pm, (it was a Dresden File, okay) I went on a cleaning spree.  Very unlike me.  I picked up all the garbage in the living room, dining room, kitchen and bedroom.  (I had a lot of juice boxes.)  And all the dirty dishes. 

Then I started on the laundry.  As in I took all the wrinkled clothes from my dining table and put them back into the dryer to get rid of the wrinkles.  I was totally surprised that they came out sans wrinkles.  I actually hung them up right after the dryer buzzed.  The stuff to be folded is still in the basket but hey, it's just pjs and undies.

After I talked to my mom and got ready for bed, I got really ambitious.  (And if you're asking why, I have no idea but it my have something to do with what's happening on Friday.  But you'll have to wait. ^_^)  I cleaned up my counter, put everything away, got all the dirty laundry out, put away all my random crap and then. 

And then I cleaned my toilet.  I am ashamed to say that I had never done this.  My mom does it when she's here.  (hangs head in shame)  It was just as disgusting as I had thought.  Also, I had two little helpers.  I put Emme and Kisa into the bathtub so they could watch the never-before-seen event.  (My cats love the bathtub and are ecstatic when they can play in the water.)  Then I had to flush the toilet about twenty times before I felt that the water was now safe for them to play in.  Then I closed the lid because I am paranoid.  And shut the bathroom door because I am neurotic.


So more cleaning when I get home.  In preparation for Friday.  Which I'm still not going to talk about.  Except to say that I am soooo excited and if it doesn't work out, I will cry.  Cry like the little girl that I am.

Baby, It's Cold Inside

It is July. Almost August. I'm wearing jeans, a long sleeved shirt, and a jacket and have not one but two space heaters running and I'm still frozen. Can someone please turn the A/C off!!!

The Most Boring Subject Ever

Day One of Copyright class:  Blah, blah, 1710, blah, Statute of Anne, blah, blah, blah, copyright, blah, blah, Guttenberg Press, blah, blah, blah, blah.  Snore.

Day Two of Copyright class:  Blah, blah, rights of the copyright holder, blah, blah, blah, exemptions of copyright, blah, blah, laws aren't laws only guidelines, blah, blah, blah, can't be sued for major moolah.   Confused snore.

Day Three of Copyright class:  Practical applications in ILLiad.   Please be more interesting than the last two days.  It can only get better, right?

I so fail...

Yeah. That whole April goal thing? Didn't really pan out so great. I got some really horrible news the first day and then I was sick until oh, yesterday. I am so not even going to try to exercise tonight. I have to close the library tonight at midnight and then be back at 8am. Isn't that super? So all you're getting tonight is a post on what I am going to do to pass the time until I have to go back to work. In list format because I am lazy.

• All my laundry and ACTUALLY PUT IT ALL AWAY! I am great at doing laundry but I absolutely hate folding/hanging everything.
• Make tater tot casserole. With the frozen hamburger I forgot to take out of the freezer this morning. Yumm.
• Do my dishes and ACTUALLY PUT THEM AWAY! Yes, I have problems with this as well. I also need to figure out where to put the dish set that my mom bought me for Easter.
  
• Watch Twilight or an episode of Supernatural. Such decisions.

Expect a longer (and more coherent) post tomorrow.

The Plan

Whoa!  Is it April already?  I thought March just started.  I think my calendar must be lying to me.

Well, this being April 1st (are you sure?  I mean wasn't it just March 1st yesterday?) I have decided to start some new habits.  I am going to try to post at least once a day and exercise once a day.  Yes, it is ambitious and I'll probably die trying but oh well.

Now I just have to find something interesting to write about.  Crap.

Breaking Dawn

See, I told you I'd finish it before I got home. :)

I have to say, that was an awesome series. I tend to get majorly involved in books and I honestly have to say that I am glad that I am done. It was totally a roller coaster ride from start to finish.

Renesmee was a total left fielder. I was so not expecting that. And Jacob? I probably should have seen that too but I was totally blindsided. It kinda makes sense. Dark, twisted, ironic sense but still.

The ending was pretty nice as well. The last chapters/epilogues usually leave me disappointed and wanting more but this was nice. It would be nice to see what happens when Renesmee grows up though!

Okay, gotta go close down the library now and finally go home. Yay! It has been a long couple of days at work.
