Friday update
Oct. 6th, 2006 11:10 amI was really going to post something last night, but I started watching Mythbusters with M and then I fell asleep in my chair. At 8:20. This week has kicked my ass. Things at work were a little stressful, and busy, but I did manage to finish things up yesterday.. which spontaneously means that I can have my day off (which I couldn't take on Monday) today. Today! That's always a lovely, lovely thing to realize at 3:30 on Thursday afternoon--it's weekend! Apparently it all caught up to me last night. I slept long, lovely hours. I am now bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Also, happy. Because it is Friday. And I am sitting on my ass, listening to yesterday's Days of our Lives on TV and planning my weekend. My apologies if you are reading this from work.
M and I have kind of taken a break from our to-do list. Yes, I have indoctrinated my husband in the Way of the List. While I have a list with paper and pencil (proper lists are not written in pen) on my desk at all times, we also have a joint to-do list whiteboard, color-coordinated. (Red for me, blue for M, green for things we need to buy, black for either of us to do. Shut up.) It even has a secondary list of large projects that aren't conducive to write it. Of course, we haven't stopped adding things to the list, we've just stopped doing things on the list. I'm thinking that this weekend, we will need to start working on the list again, because.. we are running out of room to write stuff. ;) How is it there is always so much stuff to be done? I may even start on some of it today. Or I will eat bon-bons and watch daytime television. One or the other.
My parents bought a dresser at a yard sale that looks.. decent. It's not our style, really, but it's okay until we buy a bedroom suite.. though we've been talking about that for years so I'm not holding my breathe. Seems like there's always something else we'd rather spend (or not spend) money on. We cleaned it up with some bleach and Pledge, but it still smells strongly of smoke (cigarettes.. I think. It's a weird smell.) on the inside. I've got little containers of baking soda in there, and we're eventually going to try to air them out.. but leaving the doors open right now makes the bedroom smell horrible too, so currently we've just been letting the baking soda try to absorb the worst before we open the doors. Is there any hope for this dresser, or are we basically just screwed? Anything else we should try? I am not about to put my clothes in a dresser that stinks of smoke, and then end up stinking of smoke myself. I am super-sensitive to the smell of cigarette smoke.
