House cleaning.

[aquabean]

Worked many hours today at the Good Job, and then came home to sorta scrounge dinner, avoid doing the dishes and also the laundry. Tomorrow will be a continuation of procrastination the writing I want to get done, the first floor tile that needs vacuuming, mopping and sweeping, along with further abandonment of laundry. Dishes will probably be really funky by then, so their cleaning is gonna have to happen despite my powers of Putting-It-Off-ness.

Today, however, I have managed to half-cook lunch for tomorrow (...why did I think that even overtime would be enough to justify a 10hr shift? Even if it is the Good Job. *facepalm*), and then redo my entire lj layout. Even made a new default icon!

But the best bit of the day was talking to the girl on the phone and telling her all about the new shoes I got (woo!) and the excellent member sales today and how I may actually get to make some use of the iPod shuffle that crazy Jem gave me for Christmas. (No, seriously. WTH? A Shuffle! I have no words to express my giant thankyou to the boy so I just sorta flap my arms around a bit every time it comes up in conversation with anyone).


In other news....

Wayne is coming to visit me for a whole week at the end of January! Just in time for my birthday even! *wiggle dance flail!* Time off has be secured, the house will be cleaned by then, and and and omg I haven't seen her in more than two years and I'm so so so so SO excited. Seriously. Rarwoot!

Today has been a good day. Yes. Knowing my Girl gets home on Saturday doesn't hurt anything either. My spaz fit being done for the evening I'm going to go up to bed and finish my book about poncy British Magician-type boys and be amused until I fall asleep.

What book is that - it sounds interesting.

[runefallstar.livejournal.com]

It's Diana Wynne Jones' Chrestomanci series. There's several of them, though the one I've read most recently is Conrad's Fate. It has a character that reminds me very much of Howell from Howell's Moving Castle, and I must say that makes me very happy.

Very pretty LJ! And YAY! for your Girl getting home.

Sorry I abandoned you last night, but there was fic that suddenly demanded my attention after days of pointedly ignoring me. Sheesh!

[runefallstar.livejournal.com]

Yay! and Yay! again!

I really will be very glad to have my girl home-- I even get to see her on Sunday, which makes things that much better. And thank you for the lj compliments, it took much much longer than was really reasonable to get it to look this way. Heh.

No worries, I totally understand. I ended up falling asleep not too long afterward anyway. ^^;;

Yay! I'm so so so so SO excited too, even if - intitially, due to remodeling - I was concerned that I'd typed the web address wrong. Until I saw my name, of course! (Don't worry: although I am very flattered that you plan to clean in preparation for my arrival, I do not actually expect it to happen.:)

Anyway, I'm off you explore the new look.

P.S. - I change my Blogspot blog to a navy blue background last night. Coincidence? I think not. ;)

Last line: "changed" (Perhaps too much time lately with the Japonese aunt.)

Re: Navy Blue Blog Sisters

...HEH.

Though, I do have to say that if you want me to I'll change your password to something else that you can remember. The same thing as your blogspot one perhaps? Especially because I'm lazy bum and having update on livejournal is easier for me to read without having to actually go and look your journal up. Heh.

The apartment IS going to get cleaned though. Gah. Birthdays should mean not having to look at the GIANT PILE of recycling waiting in the corner of the dining room. It's mildly embarrassing.

(Navy blue is a rockin' colour oh yes)

Actually, I was just taking care of the password situation. Can I put pictures up as easily at LJ? If so, maybe I'll stick with that.

Re: Navy Blue Blog Sisters

[excursionista.livejournal.com]

After all, you've already made me those nice icons.

Completely unrelated but I'll tell you anyway, the boyfriend - who is as bad a procrastinator as we are - may not be able to get a passport until the beginning of March. Looks like I'll be traveling solo for awhile.

Re: Navy Blue Blog Sisters

HEH. I find myself mildy unsurprised by the procrastinator bit. If you'd started dating a Go-getter, I'd be a little worried.

Does that mean you're gonna be just bummin' around the states or are you going to head to Europe without him?

Re: Navy Blue Blog Sisters

[runefallstar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you should be able to. If you go to the update lj page thingy, there'll be button you can click to put in images. You just put in the picture URL and it'll do the rest for you. Get a paid account and you'll even be able to host the picture in your gallery and just link to that. Like I tend to do. For, as I mentioned, I am laaaaaaaaazy.


Also? My mom says Hi. She's excited about your visit. And my little sister is even going to be around that weekend. Have you even met the Bear? I don't remember...

Re: Navy Blue Blog Sisters

[excursionista.livejournal.com]

I'll test out the picture thing. And yes, I have met the Bear. I even have a cute picture of her in her bikini, walking down the beach with your cousin.

Re: Navy Blue Blog Sisters

[runefallstar.livejournal.com]

Oh! That's right! You were out here so long ago some of these things tend to blend together. Heh.

Re: Navy Blue Blog Sisters

Goodnight! (or, since I'm now learning French, Bon soir!)

Re: Navy Blue Blog Sisters

HEH. I was thinkin' you were up pretty late. Have a good night, hon!
