spring cleaning

As I've done fuck-all during the week to this end, and have a largely empty weekend ahead (whee!), I think I'm going to put my time to some good use and clean this place. I want to get a cleaner in for some deep cleaning (conveniently right before my mum visits) but for now, the place needs some straightening out. I'm relieved that Julie's party isn't until 8PM tonight, because that really gives me an entire day. Though I need to remember that the cheese puffs take time to bake, and not attempt to start them at 7PM.

Tomorrow can be about grocery shopping, knitting, and relaxing with Monsieur Hobbes. Oh, and maybe studying French.

I probably could get everything done, but then I would be exhausted and want to die instead of go to a party, let alone make food for a party.

I've got a good head start, and I'll chip away at the list, but also: need breaks.

I have seething hatred for the blinds. Especially when it's my own damn fault for misjudging where the screws should be. So I have to drill more holes and the whole thing is a fucking nuisance. Grrr. I'm putting that off until tomorrow, because I'm just too pissed off at it to continue now.

I'm going to start some laundry, start some banana bread, and walk to the store to get ingredients for the cheese puffs. It'll be nice to get some fresh air, even if it's wet fresh air.

I bought my mom's ticket out here, so it's nice and official. The last weeks of this month are going to be family filled. Cousin Y will be here for a conference from the 19th-22nd, and he's planning on staying with me on Sunday. Sarah's mom will also be here that weekend, so there will be rejoicing--because she is the coolest woman alive. Then on the 26th, my own wonderful mom will arrive to stay through Sunday.

I can't wait to show her the place.
