I’m Beautiful Like Me.

I did so much today. We did so much today. Well, it has been a long-ass day, seeing how it started at 6:30am for me and it is now after midnight. I would be done with this post already if I hadn’t turned on the Olympics (or if the girl’s gymnastics weren’t on - they are, by far, my favorite event to watch. I become completely transfixed by these young ladies flipping about gracefully with this serious and hard look in their eyes).

The title of this post is inspired by DJ Lance. That’s right, we watch Yo Gabba Gabba! It’s a great show, dammit. “It’s almost time to go. But first, let’s remember what we did today! Can we do it? Can we dance? Let’s do it! A-break it down!”

• Got Joy off on the school bus for her first day back to school. No snags.
• Made coffee, woke up Husband and apologized for being an ass. He accepted.
• Husband made breakfast.
• Put away clean dishes.
• Washed up dishes from last night’s dinner and this morning’s breakfast.
• Turned and finished laundry.
• Stripped the linens and washed ‘em, too.
• Took lunch and the rest of Joy’s school supplies up to her school.
• Husband replaced the bulb in Joy’s room with a CFL bulb.
• Husband repaired the stupid laundry closet door.
• Took Buddha outside for about a half an hour.
• Husband cooked dinner and washed the dinner dishes.
• Straightened out the pantry and the cupboard where all our dry baking goods are kept.
• Took out the garbage. Twice (UGH! I wish they’d start recycling for our complex already).
• Filled out a mess of paperwork Joy brought home from school.
• A ton of virtual cleaning:
  • Cleaned email box
  • Moved 15 GBs of files (mostly pictures) from OS to partition
  • Defragged
  • Ran CCleaner
  • Emptied recycle bin
  • 300+ items in Google reader
  • Unsubscribed from a number of blogs that have not kept my interest.
• Knitted several rows of my Ribbed-for-Her-Pleasure scarf in between everything else.
• Started black beans soaking for some meal tomorrow.
• Gave the boy a bath.
• Stayed on the girl’s ass about keeping her room clean. She did a pretty good job, but not without promises of Klondike bar (what would YOU do for a Klondike bar? …grumble).
• Set coffee pot for early morning.

And now that I have listed out all the things I’ve done, I’m compelled to list the things I need to get done tomorrow!

• Pay some bills with Husband’s last check. Decide which.
• Husband should find out the status of his employment.
• Vacuum.
• Fold laundry that was washed and dried today. And - UGH - put it away.
• Find something - anything! - to knit or crochet. I am almost out of yarn for this scarf and won’t get more anytime in the foreseeable future. I need a project.
• Eliminate the stack of things I’ve set aside for donation some time ago. I’m tired of looking at it!
• Catch up on Plurk. I’ve been neglecting it.
• Maybe wash Joy’s linen, too. Maybe not, I’m pretty over laundry.
• Make some zucchini bread with the last of the zucchini.
• Dishes and garbage, I’m sure.
• If weather is accommodating, go to the park.
• Pick up reserved book at library.
• Other stuff I’m prolly forgetting.

For now, I’m off to bed. Morning comes early! Goodnight!
