reality 1, me 0

[verbicide]

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.

Blinds = TEH EVIL.

I share your hatred and frustration. Flatmate & I have been meaning to put some up for the last.. uh, I'm thinking two months, but it's probably longer. Notice the lack of progress.

They're such a nightmare. I've been putting these off for about two months, too. Hiss.

That, my dear, is why they make spackle and paint. So you can say "whoops, I didn't mean to put that hole there!" and cover it up, then get on with things.

If I were closer, I'd offer to help deal with the blinds. Mine went much faster the second or third time I put them up... ;-)

*grumble* I know, I know. But it's such a pain! If you were closer, I would leap at the offer of help, too!

But... I do enjoy spackle! :D

The stupid thing is--I did better the first time I did the blinds. I was just not so much with the thinking this time around.

Blinds are a bane.

What's maddening is that they seem so simple in principle.

Wah.
