**WARNING**
Rambling, venting, all-over-the-place entry ahead. Proceed with caution.

Finished cleaning the family room last night. With the exception of the carpet (which needs to be steam cleaned), the family room is DONE! πŸ™‚ YAY! That room was giving me the most fits.

The kitchen WAS clean, but then Chris cooked. :

So here is the rundown:

Family Room
Kitchen
Dining Room/Playroom
Living Room
Rose Bathroom

Loft
Guest Bedroom
Aidan’s Room
Master Bedroom
Aidan’s/Guest Bathroom
Master Bathroom
Litter Boxes

The hardest rooms will be the master bedroom and bathroom, the loft, and of course, the kitchen.

Air conditioner hookup has begun! Eric stopped by last night and he and Chris got started, and now it’s set. Eric also cracked a lot of bad jokes. Not naughty bad, but “don’t quit your day job” bad. πŸ™‚ Now there are long pipes sticking out of the back of our house. So exciting. We should have AC by this weekend.

And the temperature will probably drop by then, knowing our luck. But at least we’ll have it.

The house is getting PRIMED for Game Night 2005! YEA!!!! πŸ˜€

Craig came by last night and we fed him. There was BBQ chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and corn. Aidan had mac & cheese. Yummy.

Good Mood So Far :)

Woke up in a pretty good mood today. Despite the lack of AC, it ended up being pretty comfy (for me). I actually had to get under the blanket. I am not too tired which is a miracle because I went to bed pretty late last night.

I like giving Aidan kisses before I leave for work in the morning. He has the best little cheeks ever.

I’m very glad the storms that were surrounding my county never actually hit. On the way home from Chad & Christy’s, there was lightening everywhere. Thank God it went away. I thought for sure we were going to get hammered.

I don’t understand how people can love thunderstorms! They frighten me!

So maybe I can start cleaning the house tonight? If I write checks at Target, they shouldn’t clear ’til Wednesday. By then I’ll be paid! πŸ™‚ Or maybe I can find bins somewhere else cheaper. Although I am NOT going to Walmart. I hate that store. I like the prices, but not the crowds. Or I could just go to Meijer, it is a lot closer. Yeah, I’ll probably just do that.

Rob, if you want to stop by, you’re more than welcome! πŸ˜€ We’ll make you dinner. πŸ™‚

I really want to set up a home office in the living room once we get everything cleaned up. I think it’ll be awesome for me to work in there. We don’t use the room for anything, I may as well put it to use. I’ll set up a desk with my laptop, a bookshelf with all of my writing books, and I’ll put a filing cabinet in there. We DESPERATELY need a filing cabinet. So that’s my goal. Probably won’t come to fruition for a while, as I have to save up for a desk (unless I am lucky enough to inherit Tyler’s glass desk when he moves to Denver) and um… actually CLEAN the darn room! πŸ™‚

Summer is definitely here. I love the hot temps, but the humidity is downright gross. I felt so sticky after dancing at the wedding reception (which was outside). I was sweaty in no time. It was fun, though. Worth it, for sure.

And randomly…

A Good Sunday

So, I didn’t get to bed until nearly 5am (thank a lot liesandpromises!!)

Just kidding, Amy. You know I love it when you keep me up all night on AIM! πŸ™‚

I didn’t make it to church again (I haven’t been in a LONG time, and truthfully, I don’t miss it much–just the people…). I slept until after one. Chris got home with Aidan and they went to Chad & Christy’s. I got invited over, of course. I slept a few more minutes, then finally dragged myself out of bed because it was too warm in our non-airconditioned house. On my way out, I checked my AIM and Becky (magecky413) had left me a message. YAY Becky! So we got together at Chad & Christy’s to work on a special surprise for a certain someone who will remain nameless for the time being. She left and then Rob came over. YAY Rob!! We ate pizza and hung out.

I watched three movies while I was there–Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc., and Meet the Parents. We also watched Extreme Makeover Home Edition (I LOVE when they send them to Disneyworld!), Family Guy, and American Dad. I watched a LOT of TV today which is not normal for me at all. I usually go days in between turning on the set anymore. If I do watch it, it’s at someone’s house or because someone else turned it on here. Meep.

So, I got a little progress done on the surprise, and I got to spend time with my Booba, who I was missing terribly!!! I mean, you have no idea how much I missed him. He smells soooo good. Mmmm, Aidan. πŸ™‚ He’s sleeping here tonight (I go Mommy bed!) because it’s too hot in his room and I just like to have him in here with me. So right now, it’s me, Chris, Aidan, three Mickey Mouses, Goofy, and Pandernoodle. I’m sure Lucy will join us soon.

And Praise the Lord, we’ll be getting our AC installed soon! All the parts are here, it just needs to be hooked up. I can’t wait. If I’m hot, everyone else must be dying. It takes a lot for me to get hot!

I am so ready to have a clean home. Everytime I go to Emily S’s place, I marvel at how neat it is. First thing. When I get paid, I’ll pay all my bills. Then I’m going to Target and buying lots of those rubbermaid bins and putting tons of Aidan’s toys away. That will help a lot. Then I’m going to tackle one room at a time. First room will be the dining room, I think. Getting Aidan’s toys all organized. Then the living room. Just to give you an idea of how sad that room is: I still have not put away all of my Christmas presents. Yeah, it’s like that. Then, I’ll tackle the family room. That one will be a pain because I’m going to need Chris to put some of his stuff away ASAP. Then I’ll do the upstairs. The loft won’t be so bad. The hard room will be the master bedroom because I am a slob. There are clothes everywhere, toiletries everywhere, BOOKS all over the place. I think I am going to buy a bookcase to put in here OR move the one from the guestroom to in here. It’s getting no use in there and I have a million books in here that need a home. Those 4 shelf cases are cheap too, so I can maybe pick up a couple. This is going to be a slow process because we are on a STRICT budget for the next couple of months and I have to get a couple of credit cards taken care of!! But the house is driving me MAD and I just want to come home to a nice, clean living space instead of clutter and mail and junk everywhere.

I don’t care what Chris says, there are some aspects of Feng Shui that are true, and the one about living in clutter causes stress is definitely the case for me!

‘Til later!

I got home yesterday evening and slept. First, I stopped at the library and turned in a boatload of books, then I went home and slept! πŸ™‚ Quite nice. I slept until about 11ish, then I used the bathroom, and went back to sleep. Got up at around 3:45am, took a shower, got on the computer, and chatted with Aimzy liesandpromises until 5ish. Then I went back to sleep, and got up at my regular time of 6:40am.

Taking those naps call for weird dreams. I remember having a long one about Tyler, one about getting a special/grill order at some fast food restaurant, and one where I was home and something like a tsumani was coming to wash the house away–only the tsunami ended up receeding and there was the regular yard again.

My email is all caught up! How thrilling is that? I mean, there is nothing in my inbox. πŸ™‚ or πŸ™ depending on how you look at it.

A guy at work randomly gave me a Bellagio note pad. Last week, he’d given me a Bellagio pen. It’s little and gold and cute. He also gave me some Vegas pamphlets. Maybe I need to go there again. Or Disneyworld. I REALLY want to go to Disneyworld again. Like NOW. Or actually, not until the off-season comes up again. Like Mayish again. But even earlier May than we went this year. I really want to be there when it’s even less busy than it was for us. πŸ˜€

I should clean tonight. I really should. But do you think I will? Not likely. I mean, I’m going to dump all the trash and do some cleaning, but as far as heavy-duty? Yeah, I doubt it.

And I have to do my hair before the weekend is out. It looks like crap.

I am broke. B-R-O-K-E. Payday can’t get here quickly enough.

‘Til later…
