stoney321-
get on actual grown-up people clothes - jammy pants with books all over them don't count -
do the flippin' laundry already -
open all the windows and air out the house - put on chain-link metal and get the climbing rose under control
- put Bactine™ on all the wounds you'll inevitably get from climbing rose
- make mummy sounds and scare the kids after all wounds have been bandaged
- flip the compost heap
- make the Bad Child pull out all bunny parts that Evil Cat drug into compost heap for burial later
-
determine who is the day's Bad Child through a series of secret testsIt was Number 2 -
devise a test, including elements such as: who has bugged the others the most, who left a milk ring on the table, who lied about brushing their teeth - praise Evil Cat for keeping bunnies from garden
- mock the neighbor that worships Right Angles and wastes their weekend trimming each shrub into a rectangle
- purposely admire out loud your lack of right angles in garden while sipping a mojito leisurely
- wait until Right Angle man is setting up BBQ today to spread fish emulsion on new growth
- He knows why - the bastard.
- enjoy the scent of new blossoms in backyard (where there was no fish emulsion spread) and finish Bones - super good book
- take over the world
- or at least the laundry room
- dance to groovy music for a minimum of 8.35 minutes
- depending on world/laundry room takeover, can increase to 15 minutes
- cook crawfish ettouffe over chicken breasts and wild rice for dinner
-
stop - smell roses
ETA
- stop shooting baskets with the laundry - it's taking you FOREVER, ding dong
- although, nice shot
- that one was TOTALLY worth three points, you KIDDING ME? Are you blind,
meref?

Date: 2006-03-26 08:45 am (UTC)I am SO in love with the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. My grout is SPOTLESS.

Date: 2006-03-26 08:54 am (UTC)OOOOH. I bought an OXO grout brush that is my secret lover. My problem currently is the laundry room is where we feed Cancer Kitty, and he makes a HUGE mess with his wet food and Magic Eraser™ is what does the trick of getting that off the walls and tile. THEN I can scrubs with bleach.
It's a process.

Date: 2006-03-26 08:55 am (UTC)Part of my mission for the day is to remind certain people wo share My Bathroomtm that they, too, can operate a toilet brush. Wish me luck.
Julia, trying to get in harmony with the atmosphere so I am not out in the field when one of the short, severe sleet storms come marching through

Date: 2006-03-26 08:59 am (UTC)I'm enjoying while it lasts, believe me.
*sends a pot of hot tea and warm soup - two pots - in case of inclement weather*

Date: 2006-03-26 09:03 am (UTC)Now, if we could just get the cattle to move to the part of the place where I don't have to walk into the wind coming or going (which is also where their hay is; you'd think they would be there, but no, there's a quarter-inch of new grass over where I get sleet in my face finding them) life would be a dream.
Julia, bagging church this morning, Lent or no.

Date: 2006-03-26 09:06 am (UTC)Ah, church. I remember having to donate my precious Sundays to them in the long, long ago...

Date: 2006-03-26 09:07 am (UTC)For sheep do not pine.
Too many "pushes over the fence" from lonely shepherds to have any good feelings left in them.

Date: 2006-03-26 10:17 am (UTC)Was going to say that, except for being sent to Sunday School with the neighbors, and every VBS in Yelm serveral summers (unmedicated ADHD kid, so NOT blaming Mom for wanting me out of the house) not going to church was my default for most of my life. Then I married an Episcopal Priest's Kid, an only child born when his mother was 38, and he needs a reminder that there is one person he was taught surpassed his perfection to be a tolerable housemate.
Julia, a warning to all comfortably unchurched young women: PKs revert to type after marriage

Date: 2006-03-26 10:30 am (UTC)Grew up in fiercely religious house where Sunday service is 3 hours long, plus weekly meetings, then morning bible study all through high school = NOT MISSING A THING NOW.
Husband is sufficiently wishy-washy on religion, which works to my advantage.

Date: 2006-03-26 08:59 am (UTC)And that rectangle fetishist neighbor? Make him cry. There's one like that living across the road from us, only with her it's pyramids. We point and laugh a lot.

Date: 2006-03-26 09:01 am (UTC)Oooh, I just skimmed my flist and saw you won a mod choice award! YOUR MIGHTY BOOSH IS SUPREME!! Go you!
(and seriously: this rose is a CRUEL thing. Which is exactly why I planted it outside my daughter's window. I AM PREPARED FOR HER SWAN LIKE BEAUTY TO ATTRACT THE BOYS.)

*encourages you to put what you want in your journal with a smile*

Also: still getting results with the no hunger from the secret herb I mentioned? I am still pleased at this end.

firm disciplinelove and compaassion can they be turned into anything worth keeping.no subject
Date: 2006-03-26 10:50 am (UTC)And also, might I suggest new music by the Great Purple One for the dancing, because the first 2 songs on 3121 WILL make you get cho groove on.

Date: 2006-03-26 10:55 am (UTC)What was FUN in a not at all sort of way, was pulling out dead annuals from my front flower bed to make room for the bluebonnets coming up and finding FOUR COTTON TAILS.
Because Evil Cat knew I would find them there, as it is my Happy Place. I did take off my hat and make a sad face.

Date: 2006-03-26 11:38 am (UTC)It helps that my house is empty right now and I have all the supplies at READY REACH and loud music. <-- most important part of Chore Day.
(you could always pile up the trimmings, add some leaves to the top and call it a compost heap. I won't tell.)
no subject
Date: 2006-03-26 12:41 pm (UTC)(go to Redentas some time and get Japanese painted ferns. 6 inches high, silver and PURPLE. So, so gorgeous. Also can put in ginger - remind me to divide mine and bring you some. TALL and the best smelling flowers EVER. See also hydrangeas, purple clover (oxalis), Perisan Sheild (dude, GORGEOUS plant - needs NO light), Columbines...
SO MANY THINGS. (spray your shrubs with fish emulsion if you can, they will grow fast - no pruning for at least a month to encourage lots of growth - then you can reshape)
My Japanese maples are budding and are GLORIOUS. Come see me. I need to come see you soon, too. Maybe lunch or something? No?
no subject
Date: 2006-03-26 03:36 pm (UTC)Get the cat pee off your foot? What in the cat hair?!
I have no news. Just love.
no subject
Date: 2006-03-26 03:40 pm (UTC)And the cat pee was on MY TORSO. Because stupid Scrappy, aka Sir Drooly, aka "My Arthritis prevents me from using the cat box when you do laundry" decided to use a laundry pile as his toilet.
Ah, the life of a cat. *cocks pistol*
Gunna play some? *logs on as someone else*
