Happy 4th, everyone! We're off to the annual invitation-only sale at the Guitar Center. It's always fun to see bleary musician-types at 8:30 in the morning mooning over equipment. Then home to clean and write and suchlike. We may go to a friend's pool party or just veg out here before we cook up some brats and go down the street to watch fireworks. Should be a nice relaxing day.

I hope everyone celebrates in the way which gives them the most pleasure.

lights sparkler, waves it in big swoops

I slept until 9, and now we have maids in to do the cleaning. I shall be wandering about the apartment with my laptop until they are finished. Hello, first world!

Maids in to do the cleaning! Fabulous!

I have no maids, but because smonster and amyth left at 9AM, and I got up, and then....well, normally I'd be all about sleeping in, but I was UP. So I'm doing laundry, and made breakfast, and now I'm settling in to watch "Hustle and Flow"...

My apartment is now as clean as it's been since before I got it painted, and probably never will be again for quite some time.

Maids in to do the cleaning! Fabulous!

The place really needed a thorough going-over what with the various moving in and out of people, and wow, am I willing to pay someone to do it for me.

Tom, your place looks great.

am jealous of shrift's maid having.

Niiiice. Love the colors and the clean lines.

...party at Tom's!

OMG you guys, I am so cracked out right now. I got home from flying in on the red-eye, thought I was fine, but then had to lie down for a couple of hours, but I'm still completely exhausted, and I think I'm hungry, but I can't figure out what I feel like eating.

OMG! food. I haven't eaten yet today.

I swear sometimes I wonder about my head.

Mm, food. I need to hit the grocery store so I can make guacamole.
