pre-cleaning procrastination post
Slept in this morning and then ate waffles and drank a second batch of thinkbettersick's yum yum coffee! I then read a few more chapters of Eclipse, the third book in the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyers. I really enjoy her books but sometimes the Mormon stuff creeps in and it freaks me out. Like Edward's unwillingness to make her a vampire until she marries him (erhm....virginity analogy?) or the fact that whenever they talk about marriage there is a comment about how they will be married not just for life, but for eternity. wev. these books are amazing!
So now i have to get going on some cleaning and organization. School starts on Sept. 2nd and I want to be able to throw myself into my school work fully and not be worried that things are messy! Also! My H*on girls are coming to visit so i want my place to be spic and span! Or, relatively close to that. I went to Duane Reade and picked up a swiffer duster thing and some of that yummy smelling natural cleaner I used at Jen's house the other day. I have also been reading Fly Lady more again and feel inspired. Marc gave me one of his desks, that i think will encourage me to work in my office more. Right now my current desk has a bunch of toiletries and what not on it because our bathroom doesn't have an outlet and thus i can't blow dry my hair and stuff there which is impractical and annoying. So now i can have a place for that and a place to study. The one thing about my room that i'm concerned about is the radiator. It hissed all winter long and it drove me nuts. I wish i could just disconnect it, as the heating in my apartment is ridiculous and we spent the whole winter with every window wide open. i don't think it would hurt to have no heat source in that room.
Also, I want to hang things on our walls...they are bare right now as the walls are plaster and sort of a pain to deal with! But we have a great catcher in the rye poster and a badlands (in spanish - malas tierras) poster that would look awesome and match the livingroom color wise. since we are living here for another year i don't mind throwing some $$ towards paint for our bedroom (we wanted it to be a sagey green) or my office. i also got some picture frames on sale at DR for $1.99 each and still have a bunch of frames from ikea that need pictures in them!
anyway! enough rambling. i need to get to work!
