Oh, the poor robin.

I have laundry to do today. And packing.

Packing! YAY! Does it help motivate you to do the laundry? Are you going to be dancing out the door, tomorrow night?

Sadly, I'm lacking motivation and being distracted. Owen just asked me to make his pet giraffe some toast and jam. And I'm futzing around online trying to get music together for the plane trip. Olivia's watching Blues Clues and clapping with Steve.

I should probably focus or something, yeah?

Wash your own clothes, first. It'll motivate you -- and you can put them right into your suitcase.

I am a packing procrastinator. I always pack at the last moment, fail to plan what I'm bringing, and always pack extra to make up for it. It's weird because I plan way too much in most other areas of my life.

So many pretty pictures to wake up to this morning

Emeline is adorable in her princess outfit!

Jilli and Cass looked gorgeous at the Vampire Ball!

I love your new cut, Plei!

I need to break this 10 AM wake up thing. I keep saying just a few more minutes when Dave leaves for work, and I inevitably wake up around 10.

A Touch of Pink is a movie about a gay Canadian Indian boy in London. Who has Cary Grant (played by Kyle McLaughlan, whose name I evidently can't spell, and whose performance reminded me rather more of Tony Curtis's Cary Grant impression in Some Like It Hot than it did of the actual Cary Grant) for an Invisible Friend. "Would you care for a mimosa, my little samosa?"

Waaaaaaait, I have heard of that!

Until now [link] I was unaware of the button porn factor.

Gronklies. Morning. Howdy.

LOVE the Cass+Jilli pic. Yum. I also love that I was automagically put in the bunk, even though I wasn't there. It's like you know me or something!

Love all the pics, actually.

Hec! You about? I need haircut advice.

DJ! Smooches for you, to bring you out of your bad mood!

Hugs for all the Bitches!

I just got a phone call from my landlady. she was in my house - they are putting on a new roof and she went in to chek on something/

My house is cluttered, the bathroom is filthy and there was some dishes in the sink and some food trash out and she said she was appalled. It's not that horrible but she said if it didn't get clean and stay clean she wouldn't renew my lease in September.

So, I'm going to do a massive cleaning and really try to curb my ways. I'm sending out my rent check today.

I wanted to point out that she should give me notice before she comes in side, but it's a moot point. Now I'm worried that she'll drop in unannounced at some other time and there will be a tiny mess and she wont' renew my lease.

I'm surprised she hasn't mentioned the yard needs raking ( I really hate yard work). Part of me has actually been looking at apartment complexes and wondering what it would be like to live there, I've been here 2 years and I think I'm getting the urge to try something different. I do love having my own place and the house is cute but at the same time there are things about it I don't like.

If you're renting why do you have to do yard work? Doesn't she have to give you notice? What if you were having a week where you were working 16 hour days, but totally intended to have it clean the next week?

I think my cranky is being redirected at your landlady. My house is crap right now, but the maid comes tomorrow. I imagine our landlady would be all, WTF? if she saw it, but she lives next door and knows it gets messy, but also knows it will be cleaned up.
