Just a moment to let my secret inner Virgo out: I GOT MY TOILET BOWL CLEAN! (Imagine me singing this to the tune of "They Got The Mustard Out!")
Seriously, I have dumped straight bleach in my toilet bowl and let it sit for 6 hours to try and get the lime and...whatever, gross, ick. Nothing. Anyway, I tried some Lysol Super Power Nuclear Fission Cleaner and my toilet bowl look brand NEW!!
I am quite unreasonably excited. But it's been bugging me forever. I just want to go stare into its gleamy shininess like it's the scrying bowl of elimination.
That's only the tip of my productiveness today, but believe me, it's far more exciting than the 5 hours I spent filling out stupid on-line apps for teaching jobs. One was longer than filling out my on-line federal taxes, and I'm not joking.
So today has some good. ON MY LIPS.
This sounds so awesomely dirty. I want to be able to say this.
Sadly, all I can say is that I am eating dinner in the Phoenix airport, and I wish I had known when I landed that instead of a 90ish minute layover I was going to have a 3 or more hour layover...turns out that as my flight was getting ready to board (and i'm looking out the window thinking "OK, we have a plane, this is good"), and the thing says "on time"...suddenly they announce "Yeah, we have a plane but no crew because they're actually still in LA". OOps?? They didn't know this, oh, however long ago a flight to LA would have started ago? GRRR. So now we're here for another hour or more. Til the crew gets here. And we get on the plane. Etc etc. Which means I won't get to San Antonio til after midnight.
Which only compounds the fact that when I called the woman I'm meeting in San Antonio, this morning to ask WHERE to meet her, because she still hadn't told me? She was like "But I'm not meeting you tomorrow, I'm meeting you Wednesday!" Um, no, lady. Every single piece of correspondence including the ITINERARY I sent you LAST WEEK has said Tuesday June 17th. AAAAGH. Luckily, she is also working on Tuesday, but in a place with tighter quarters, less work, and more annoying people. ARGH.
(Um, we hatessssss people, yes we does. Though we lovessssss our new cellular modem card thingie, that allows us to be on buffistas from the airport, oh yesssss, my precioussss....)

Remember the discussion of lawn mowing and I mentioned that I had STBX mow the next door neighbor's yard a few weeks back? Well, I asked him to do it again this weekend.
Today - the neighbor brought us pie! Olalaberry (???) pie. Nom nom nom.
I think I might paint the living room. I have lived here for 6 years; I'm not so worried about the security deposit.
I've never done this before. Anyone have any tips? Like, do I have to spackle or grout or whatev the nail holes in the wall when as soon as the paint dries, I will be putting the nails right back in? Should I wash the walls first or just kinda dust 'em? What kind of paint do I need -- or should I stay far, far away from?
I'm kind of excited! I think I can do my LR for under $40, if I use an old sheet as a drop cloth. I'm thinking...blue. Yeah, some shade of blue.
French, boudoir blue. With a creamy colored trim. Kinda like a good La Perla bra.
LIZARD SO CUTE!!! WANT TO KISS LITTLE LIZARD HEAD, OMG!!!
Ahem.
skipping ahead to ask - what is the procedure for getting nail polish out of clothing? Apparently, simply dabbing at it with nail polish remover does not do the trick.

She's all prehistoric-looking and shit -- and she might destroy Tokyo if you kiss her little lizard head.
