Home Improvement Marathon, All Day Sunday!!!

Have important people visiting? Need to make your place look good in a hurry? You, too, can spend all of your free time cleaning and repairing your home, just like me!

Try these, and other fun and exciting projects, at your very own home:

* Clean bathrooms!
* Re-caulk the tub and toilet!
* Re-apply bathroom fixtures!
* Wash dishes!
* Clean kitchen counters!
* Clean the stove!
* Wash clothes!
* Spackle walls!
* Texturize and paint walls!
* Repaint wall trim!
* Fill holes!
* Watch the dog, intimidated by all the artificial smells and chemicals, anxiously pee on the carpet... twice! (To save time for your other projects, it's a good idea to procrastinate until your boyfriend cleans it up... twice!)

A Charge of Battery

I was arrested at the gas station, yesterday. It's true! There were no sirens, no handcuff, and no police. I simply got into the car after filling the tank, turned the key, and nothing: Stuck. At the gas station, in my car, with a dead battery: Arrested.

I flipped out my not-so-trustworthy phone (its battery is also one jolt from shot, and horribly maimed to boot) and called Walker. He came charging to my rescue (pun intended) with cables in tow to get my vehicular party jump-started. Thanks, Walker! It's nice to have friends that car.

Further adventures consist of me going going to Sears during lunch to replace my battery. Excitement!

Lazy Takes Effort

I was planning on being devoutly antisocial on New Years Eve, but ended up going to dinner with Nick's parents, his cousins visiting from Japan, and Walker at some upscale Mexican restaurant. I wasn't too impressed, but they had the coolest chairs in the foyer. If this picture was centered, I would love the frame it for my computer desk. (I'm wearing the fantastic houndstooth coat Nick bought me for Christmas. See how fantastic it is?)

Then my mom called and she was very pissed off because it was my sisters birthday, and I hadn't called her yet, so I ordered a margarita. Alcohol makes life happy. Then we went home and played games, kissed at midnight, and went outside for three minutes before decided the neighbors fireworks were crappy and not worth our time.

Thwarted on Friday, I resolved to be devoutly antisocial on New Years Day, but ended up going bowling with five other people. We made stupid rules for each frame (ie. 6th frame, use the six lb. ball; 7th frame, can't use the finger holes; 8th, try and spin it.) I got a strike on the two hands 15 lb ball frame. I wish someone had taken a picture of me trying to throw it.

Sunday, I was devoutly antisocial and sent Nick to the store to buy me chocolate while I lounged around in my pjs the entire day. Huzzah!
