I think I would much rather buy and eat homemade pickles than go through the hassle of making them myself. Plus, the bird is stressing me out right now. Thanksgiving is about the most retarded holiday ever.

How I did it: She and I picked out the invitations together. Of course we went to a couple of different stores to find the right one. About 2 weeks before our selected shower date, we sent them out. Several days before the shower the cake was picked out. I would highly recommend decorating the night before (minus balloons & flowers-the fresher the better), also prepping anything that will stay fresh through the night, like the vegetable and fruit t… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Organized piles of trash, goodwill (give away), keep items. I cleaned as I went, cleaning off my closet shelves first then adding the items that I wanted there. Mostly kept holiday, sports, books, games and my recycled gift bags in there. I filled several bags of trash, as well as from what was swept. The hardest part was just keeping at it and following through with every item I came across. Read how I did it…
- clean ceiling fan
-wash sheets and bedspread
-dust, sanitize and windex everything
-clean baseboards
-vacuum (I need a new belt for my vacuum too, damn!)
and by the way how in the world does a vacuum know that you aren’t using the exact brand belt of the vacuum. I swear I took my old belt up to the store with me and compared it side by side to a different brands belt. It was the exact same size and it still wouldn’t work.
Writing all of this down is making me want to start cleaning now. looking around at all that I need to do is driving me crazy. You know Monica from Friends, well when I get in my cleaning moods I get a little obsessive compulsive just like her. I would really love to start tackling this right now. Only problem is I would need to start with the ceiling fan and it’s really gross, which means I need to take off the bedding since the bed is directly under the fan. But my biggest problem is not that, it’s this over 6 ft man snoring next to me. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. I wonder if I could coax him into the bathtub to get him out of here for awhile. I could lay down some blankets and sheets in there with a pillow, then wake him up and tell him that we’re going to take a bath together. heehee
He’ll be all disoriented, but he’ll follow me( Although I might want to take my hair out of this ponytail first). Then he will almost wake up too much when he sees the blankets in the tub, but I will calmly shush him and tell him, “lie down, honey and I will be right back”. Then, I will light him some lavender candles (to keep him asleep), shut the shower curtain and get to this mess.
Then in the morning when he asks what the hell was going on last night I’ll shockingly, yet with deep concern say, “Are you ok??-you really do need to get more sleep. You’re starting to worry me”
Oh my gosh, I am so in the mood to bug him while he’s sleeping. I almost can’t resist it. I already stuck my face right up to his and tried to keep a straight face while moving the bed just enough that he might wake up, but I had to move away because it’s no fun waking someone up by laughing. It’s so much better when they wake up and see your big ol eyes staring at them, then you get that sudden and shocked awakening from them. It’s so funny when he wakes up and freaks out because my face is entirely too close to his and then he gets irritated because I then start laughing. Ah, good times.
But suddenly my party ends because he gets cranky after I have giggled for too long. It’s never funny until the next day with him.
It would be so much easier if he would just get in the bathtub and let me clean. I have way too much energy right now. :)
Guess I better try to sleep so I can remember why I started this entry in the first place. I got off topic just a tad there.
