I'm trying to clean my apartment. So far, I have made my bed (and got the new duvet and shams and throw pillow out of the packaging and onto the bed), vacuumed the "bedroom" (well, the area of my studio behind the couch), and swept the kitchen floor. It's a start, I guess. And making the bed also cleaned up the "living room" section a bit, since the duvet and sham and pillows had been on the floor there.

What should I do next: clean the junk off my kitchen table, or pick up the clothes from the floor and put them in the hamper? (My apartment is a mess. I just watched a few cleaning shows on TV and got inspired. And a bit grossed out.)

P-C, I would be so tempted just not to show up. How rude.

The more I thought about it last night, the angrier I got at him. The fucking nerve.

And here's the rub: the day before, I'd stumbled across $48 in my car. His former car. So I was going to give it back to him. Because I would feel horribly guilty keeping it. Even though he won't miss it since he doesn't know it exists, or he would asked me about it. But I didn't feel like he deserved it just yet. Because I am mean.

Did someone say pictures?

Ok...so, not what you were looking for, but who's the cutest puppy?

Sounds like cab fare to me!

Or a chauffering fee. Buy yourself something nice, P-C.

Checking in from the ND and KT party. Yes, the punch was good... nay AWESOME. I'm very proud of myself that I imbibed but knew when to say when. I was surprised how fast it wore off.

Much kudos to the hosts! Yummy food, great booze, and Fabulous guests! Fun time had by all, I'm sure.

Hello's to the new folks I met last night.

Can't wait for the pics. I think there was one good shot of Drew and I in our kilts. Alas, I fear most of the shots were fairly drunk close ups. Which could be entertaining unto themselves.

Oh, I couldn't do that! I'd feel really bad. I can't keep it unless I actually attempt to restore it to its original owner.

Today I am feeling like the ass mom. Ellie has been sick with every symptom possible since Thursday. (I'd describe more but I'm holding her and typing one handed.) I didn't take too the doctor yesterday because she seemed to be improving. Of course, today she's worse. Now, I'm worried she has dengue which is not likely, but is possible.

And, I'm upset about missing work again tomorrow. Not because I have work to do, because I don't and I'm rather bored there, but vecause I haven't earned enough sick leave yet to cover both days and I hate using something I haven't earned.

Oh, and hi! I've been skimming and lurking for a while. So let me just jump back in with a bunch of worrying.

Sorry, I just think you have earned it. It can help with all the money I am sure you're expected to spend on people this month.

Stephanie! Nice to see you posting. Sorry that Ellie is sick. Get better ~ma to her.

We have a tree! It is so cute. It's skinny and just under 5 ft tall. We'll probably decorate it tomorrow. In OmemeN,TCG is cooking me dinner tonight.

Well, one show down and one to go. I took a little nap on the break, which helped a good deal.

My liver says it's forgiven me, but likely will hold a grudge for a while.

As for party pics, I know there were a lot taken later in the evening on ND's camera, paparazzi-style.
