cleansed

Monster saved the day on the trash problem by going out before I got up in the morning and emptying the bins into heavy duty bags and to take in his van to the dumpster where he works. I got up and all of the refuse had magically disappeared. He was willing to get shoulder deep in nasty to empty everything out - something I would never have done. So I guess I'm much more girlie than I think I am in the ick factor.

Garbage up to my ears

Rushing to get out of the house and to work this morning, I see the neighbors all have their trash bins at the curb.
Then at the top of my street, I see the truck picking up. Too late for me turn around and pull our already-full bins to the curb.
Next week, there will be no trash pickup to allow services employees to have a holiday, so today's extra pickup was an effort by the county to lessen the burden two weeks from now. I didn't not know there was an extra trash pickup today.
Two weeks from now, we will be up to our ears in trash, no doubt filling large bags in our carport.
This is making me crazy just thinking about it.

yeah.

Grooming

I'm taking Doris Cat in for her pedicure before the party on saturday.

Looking at my own grooming, I'm wondering if I should drop in at the insta-haircut place down the street tomorrow or if I should just go with the Ramones-style mop over the face for the weekend. Guess I'll have to wear really colorful lipstick to make up for the lack of eyes if I don't get a haircut.

shopping list

Shopping is what's rolling around in my head for this evening.

Planning to pick up a couple of new ornaments for this year's tree tonight. Maybe some garland too, if there is something nice in a large enough quantity - takes more than you'd think to cover a tree, just like lights.

There are only two people on my family holiday shopping list that I absolutely must find something for: my neice and nephew. Usually it's gift cards for them, at their age (he's 16, she's 18). This year I actually have a couple of themes to work with. For him, car accessories in UGA colors of Red or Black. He's sixteen, has his first car (an SUV with the back filled with speaker instead of cargo or passenger space). She's a college freshman and has a dorm room to decorate in similar colors of Red, White, Black. Still might be giving gift cards unless I see something really astounding or too weird (unique) to pass up. I am after all, in my family's eyes, the eccentric Auntie Jules. The kids, they're actually very conservative and preppy (excuse the antiquated term) but they actually seem more impressed by the unusual. Online shopping is the easiest because I can just have gifts sent straight to them since I never know when or if I'll see my family over the holidays.

Which Torchwood Character Are You? Your Result: Ianto Jones   You most resemble the team's composed, sarcastic general support. Passionate but excellent at hiding it under a reserved exterior, you care deeply about people and have a hard time letting go. The downside of keeping such a tight leash on your external emotions is that sometimes you lose control and have to let it all out. Competent and hard-working, you like to be on top of things.

Not as Goth as I used to be

You Are 68% Goth

You are clearly goth. Even if you don't consider yourself goth, other people do. Let's face it. You're a little moodier, darker, and weirder than most people. But that's okay. You enjoy being different, and you're proud of who you are. Many psychologists think that goths are more self aware and smarter than the average person!

Are You Goth?

better

Boss came in today and brought new and old jobs for me to work on so things were much better this afternoon. Like Santa got my letter. Or the boss read my blog. Same thing, in this case. I am so much happier when I'm busy. And boss stuck around for several hours, generating more work.


Good.

You do not get a trophy if you don't go bowling.

I am alone at work today. Boss has not even phoned in. No press man either. No emails. Only one client call, looking for a price quote, that only the boss can do.
