The State of Stuff

I’ve been trying to make a post since I got out of bed this morning.

I’ve been stonewalled by a 2-foot tornado that drools.

This is the current state of my living room.

(Bonus point if you spot the cat!)

Unfortunately, this also happens to be PMS week so my energy level is pretty much even with my give-a-shit level.

Exactly how does one tiny human need so much crap? I think it multiplies when I’m not looking.

She’s exhausting. She never sleeps, except in 10-15 minute spurts that simply recharge her battery. And when she wakes up, she SNAPS awake, looking around anxiously to make sure she didn’t miss anything. She’s very nosy, very busy, very active.

I r tired.

In other news…

There is no other news.

Apparently, I r pathetically boring along with tired.

We missed the munch last night, AND a possible play party after it because Master is on call and he didn’t feel well so he was being all anti-social. He’s at work right now, in the dark and the cold and he is so not a happy camper. But that’s why they pay him the big bucks, so suck it up, buttercup.

(He didn’t kill me last time I said it so I’m running with it now.)

Still nothing doing on the remodel project. Though I have cleared out some of the stuff. I got rid of an old bed frame that was sitting in the closet and I’ve taken a couple of trunk loads of stuff to Goodwill.

Of course everytime I go to Goodwill to drop stuff off, I have to do a walk-though and end up buying something else. In fact, I bought a shelf that I still have to go pick up cuz it wouldn’t fit in the car when I paid for it.

Did you know that often I’m dropping stuff off at Goodwill with the Goodwill price sticker still on it?

In our newest financial planning, budget revamping of 2010, I fear that Goodwill be struck from my “hobby” list. This makes me very sad. I love Goodwill like a fat kid loves cake.

So since Master was being all boogey, I started painting picture frames. (I know, right? Like, isn’t that what everyone does for fun?) I just decided that everything should match so I painted them all gold. Now they match.

I can’t remember if I posted this picture before or not (and remember what I said about my energy/give-a-shit level so forget about me going to look). Morningstar will like this, I betcha.

This is Master’s preference for decor. He really likes that oriental theme.

Me? Meh. Given the option I’d probably go with something a little more… earthy. Homey. I like those wall quote things and funky picture frames with non-posed family snapshots. I like throw pillows and afghans.

Instead, I have black and gold with porcelain Geishas. And a ninja sword on a shelf.

Ah well.

So anyway, I painted some picture frames gold. Now I can hang up some of the family photos and it won’t look too badly like a clash of styles. At least, that’s my hope.

I really do not have a knack for interior design.

I think I’m going to make another wreath though. For Valentines Day. See, I was thinking that I’d make a wreath for V-Day. And then I’d want to make one for Easter. And then maybe for July 4th, or whatever other holiday falls in there.

But I was thinking, damn, that’s a lot of wreaths to store. I’m trying to clean out storage space, not add to it, right? So my bright idea is this. Check this brilliance out.

Imma make one wreath, paint it all white. Then I’m going to, somehow, make all of the decorations on it be removable. Maybe velcro, maybe cable ties, dunno yet. But so then all I have to do is change the decorations for each holiday, and only have to store one wreath and a couple of bags of Bling. White as a base color should work fine for all of the holidays, since I’ve already got a Halloween wreath and a Christmas wreath. Yeah.. so.. you know. The complicated life of a slave at work right here, y’all.

I really should go clean up the living room.

Tomorrow.
