bon, what I mean is that there are always cars downstairs at the mall and the Target folks will hold your stuff while you go get one, then come up in the parking garage to the Target doors. Then they will stamp your receipt so you do not have to pay for the parking garage.

mmm - Target indeed. perhaps a group outing?

My local grocery has the steam cleaners so I have lugged one home in my granny cart. I really have no advice except to not overdo the soap or the wetting of the carpet. You can end up with forever sudsy carpet or carpet that takes days to dry.

making soap

so funny, I just finished clenaing up my kitchen and am about to start making candles.

so one freecycle person just came by to pick up stuff. awesome. Now trying to coordinate with craigslist buyer.

I have seen that book! The page with the roaches (book spoiler) gives me nightmares.

There is also a pop-up nightmare book. To give you phobias.

Cool beans. I'll send it to you when I'm done. Don't go expecting much though, as instead of writing it a week ago, I've written it all today. Yes, it's due tomorrow. Yes, I do this every time.

You say that like it's a bad thing. You're invalidating my entire approach to life.

I need to vacuum, but cat sleeping with her tongue stuck out is too cute to disturb. I am such a sucker.

My cat doesn't need a vacumn to wake her up and get her interested in me cleaning. I was just wiping down all the glass surfaces in the apartment, starting with the TV screen, and she had to get down off of her high perch on the cat condo and supervise. I think she was hoping I'd open up the DVD tray so she could have fun playing with it as it slid open and closed, but no such luck.
