*thud*
First things first. I've joined a dog training comm and I wanted to get a dog related icon to use for posting. Would this one be considered trollish? I do love FMA.
Second, I think I would really hate it if a comm I were really into was a featured community on LJ. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great. That's how I found the dog comm. However, I really don't understand why people feel like they have to make introductory posts in a situation like that. I suppose they're considered good manners in some comms (though I find them disruptive if the comm has much traffic), but can't people use their brain and realize that dozens of people are going to be joining a featured comm, so maybe this isn't the time to make a post telling about your dog and posting pictures?
That said, I'm tired. I finally got around to cleaning out the refrigerator and it was bad. I got all of the fridge and part of the freezer and I worked for at least two and a half hours. A lot of that time was spent actually getting rid of old food (though very little of it had reached the disgusting stage), but I also cleaned it top to bottom. I took out anything that could be removed and wiped down everything that couldn't. So, I'm pretty proud of it now and it's nice to have that out of the way.
My new rule is that anytime I buy a replacement for an item, I have to get rid of the original item. I think I probably dumped out about four jars of salsa, minimum.
Anyway, I have a headache and my hands are a little pruny, but I'm feeling pretty good about it. I really need to tidy up in the sunroom, but it's 2:30AM and I'm a little tired. I may try to get up early tomorrow morning and do it.
Also, the Christmas tree is mostly decorated. I say mostly because I haven't put the tree skirt around it yet, the train still isn't out (Yes, I have a train. I got it last year after wanting one since I was in elementary school.), and I don't have a topper. There was some ribbon I wanted that would work perfectly with it, but I think I'll have to get it at Meijer...if they still have it. It's looks okay without one, though.
I'm pretty proud of it. I did it last night and there are a ton of ornaments on it, so it looks pretty nice. I'm debating putting up another tree or two. And I have few more things to work on...
All in all, I've done less than I intended this week, but I've got a couple of pretty major things out of the way.
