My cat is sleeping on my butt.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My cats are nowhere to be found.
But sarameg, you have a basement! I wish I had one. That and a garage would make my place perfect.

“Not dead yet!”
My children are at a Guitar Hero/yay, the school year's over party. I have to go pick them up in a half hour. I wish we had that transporter technology already. Don' wanna drive.

And 78 year old plumbing to give me nightmares!
Yeah, I like having the basement, though I'm not using it well right now. Everything is sort of strewn about down there, cleaning supplies on random shelves, moving boxes and just...random. I did get a set of shelves today and put stuff on it. But it'll be good storage. I do have a garage, which I'm not using because I can't open one of the doors all the way. Another thing on the list is to get an overhead for it, because my car is FILTHY from sitting under the trees out front (discovered they aren't maple: linden.) Seriously, it looks like something is growing on my car. Like lichen. It's gross and makes it hard to see out the back window. I think I may be washing it tomorrow, since I do have a hose out front. Exciting!

It's kinda sad how happy it makes me to have a hose, and a driveway to use it in!

Honey, I was so excited to do laundy in.my.own.house. I think I watched the whole damned first load. And maybe did a dance. Maybe. And to be able to wash my own car? Bliss (if the hose is long enough.) Homeownership has meant I rejoice over the stupidest things, like caulking the tub. I accept how goofy that is.

Trust my rage
This might be a better Monday morning question, but does anyone have any good, easy ideas on de-wrinkling drapes that have been packed in bags for a few months? Right now they sort of look like those intentionally-wrinkled skirts (and okay) but I'd like the landlord to see them smooth, if possible.

Oh, yes, the joy of doing laundry at home! I think I washed everything I own just because I could. I replaced the standard blinds in the dining "nook" with wide-slat blinds and installed ceiling fans in every room, and I'm so darn proud of how pretty it looks! Living in a space is so different when it's yours.

Stephanie, are the drapes made of material that can take a little steam? If so, if there's a way you can hang them straight in the bathroom while people take showers, that might help ease the wrinkles a bit.
