Suzi, it's javachik, not javacat, who can't go Sunday.

Blarg. I knew I typed it wrong...I knew who I meant, my fingers just suck at typing. Neither of you will be there, but I knew about her a while back.

Pout. Sure we can't bribe you somehow?

I'm bored. One co worker is out sick. He left early yesterday coughing and sound horrible. He has bronchitis and a sinus infection. My supervisor is out today and Monday. The big boss should be in the office at some point, and my other co worker went to lunch and then her car broke down.

There's work I've been sort of working on. And it's raining and lightning outside. I'm sure my walk to the car is going to be wet.

I want to go home so I can watch the last bit of PopCulture and last nights Hollyoaks and Burn Notice.

you know, MM has been doing a lot of cleaning - I need lots of cleaning done here. If he cleaned my house I could nap. ( and I'm fairly certain that my standards are not as high as Aimee's)

I blame my cleaning standards on too many readings of "Mommie, Dearest".

Now mind you, before I get called out like WHOA by people who have been to my home(s), this standard is the company coming over/has beena LOOOONG time standard. Not the everyday standard. The every day standard is much more laid back.

MM, I've been getting your prolific essays (you're making me feel like a slacker!), but I'm not going to have time to read them until tonight or tomorrow morning. Just so you know--not ignoring you. Just traveling.

I have 4 standards (in rising order of cleanosity):

Fuck It, I'm PMSing/Moving Out/Hella Busy and I Don't Care (which is, I suspect, most people's "Normal")

Normal

Company's Coming - or - I'm Upset Over Something, So I'm Cleaning To Regain Control Over One Tiny Portion Of My Life

OMGWTF my mom's coming AIEEEEEEEEE!!!!! scrubscrubscrub

I don't have a kid that will pick up everything she can reach , so things like the pile of tools by the garage door are vaguely annoying - not dangerous.

I think I'm gonna have to nap

Dill, baby.

I knew I liked you.

I'd love to visit Edinburgh someday.

I'm home with my new phone. I went with the BlackJack. It's very sexy. It's going to take forever for me to figure out how to use all the bells & whistles.

My cleaning last night was "OMG I have the whole house to myself for 6 days! It'll stay clean if I just do it now. Then, neat picked up house for six. whole. days."

It's really hard to type on the laptop with puppy trying to crawl into lap.

Love the Shirley Bassey

And now, I nap.

cleaning standards:

1)chaotic - which happens when I am sick or we are in the middle of some big project. Hopefully the bathroom is clean

2) normal - there is probably something that needs to be picked up or cleaned - but there is room for people sit if they stop by and things like the bathroom and kitchen are clean ( even if there are a few dishes to be done)

3) dinner/over night guest. All areas are clean but our bedroom and maybe the computer room. At the same time.

4) house concert - Furniture has to be moved - so hidden dirt/dust is found. and thing that can sparkle must sparkle - because there will be someone I have never met before there. and some things are hidden - like expensive whiskey and some of the guitars.

Right now the house is way closer to 1 then 2. and the gap between 1 and 2 is very wide
