not martha

i'm not trying to be martha i just want to not live in a pig sty. I'm reading a few housekeeping books that pretty much just reinforce things i know but are helping to motivate me and change my thinking. Since i work late on wednesday I for some odd reason thought i could vacum, clean the bathroom and kithen, do all the laundry and windows EVERY wednesday. WHen tis didn't work out for me instead of trying to make up a rotation or something i just stopped cleaning. I know it's gross. I'm not proud. But i am finally motivated ot try something new. do little things everyday and it will be clean enough. my sad new standard ... clean enough. BUT if i want to have people over or soemthing nothing will be embarasingly close to nuclear wastedump. So there are some not so clean spots but it is a lot better off over all.

I do need some microfiber dusting cloths.

P.S. is it easier for other people to clean with music on? I'm in a violent femms/dead milkmen mood :)

itchy

Do members of your household suffer from an alarming new allergy? Steve seems to have developed an allergy to the last few squares of toilet paper. Rather than use them and suffer he has started leaving them on the tube and pulling out a new roll . This would not be concerning except for the fact that the tubes with 3 or 4 squares of paper left are starting to pile up in the bathroom....

uhg slugishly non triumphant return

244.8

mango coconut water, onion bagel, 2c mixed cantaloupe and honeydew melon,1 mini mr good bar, 100 calorie bag of lornadoone short breads, mini crackle, chiplote black bean and chicken burrito,mild and corn salsa sour cream and cheese, guac and chips (split w/ the boy), mr pibb xtra.

2.5-3 angry venting miles walked in the cold.

phrase i despise: nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. ugh how much do i despise this phrase? i understand that cutting back and eating healthy often m4eans forgoing the tasty things in enjoyed in the past. But I can't even pretend that i will give up good tasting food forever. If i have to be miserable to look good whats the point. I want to be happy and healthy. not miserable and skinny. I hate that thinness= beauty=suffering. NO NO NO. It may take me a few extra miles walking or some extra time on the treadmill but I'm going to eat good food(good tasting which can be done in a healthy way) or this whole thing is a crock.

weird dreams

Ru Pauls Drag Race + SyFY channels alice in wonderland adaptation + starting to watch Glee + just getting my computer back after it was sick for a week + Chorri Pollo and a half carafe of sangria = a dream I'm not sure i want to understand.

Set in a post appocaliptic abandoned russian insane assylum mashed up with a rambling zoo a group of twenty somethigns see Rihanna perform a song about red roses with her crazy Bozo the clown red frizzball of curls. The group then sets off on a quest (that i never understood what our goal was) and put us in an abandond wharehouse where sue sylvester attacked justin beiber with a hollow core door that she broke over his head. The group then escqaped to the zoo where we all pushed strollers ( some people had babies , teen mom style, not sure where they came from) to butt in lines to see animals, and to carry our suppiles easier. We went to a picnic area twoards the back edge of the zoo and proceeded on our quest out through the woods behind the zoo where they kept rehabiltating animals. somehow we were goiog through the monkey area and we were inside the fence withthe monkeys and a few little monkeys decided to ride in our strollers. it was also around this point that i realised we were all barefoot. we eventually make it to the abboandoned assylum and go around outside it on a tour . when we get to a corner called the feather point alot of uus won 't go near it as it feels really  nasty. supposedly it is called feather point as many inmates com mited suicide by jumping off the point thinking they could fly like birds. as the members of the group that didn't fell comfortable looking at feather point start to explore further away form the assylum we are surrounded by a group of sexy pirate ninjas that take us to a place very similar to Beibers wharehouse where we end up fighting a gaggle drag queens, when we get to the leader ( who looks like a cross between Ju Ju Be this seansons Manila ) we find out that Maddonna is holding  Ru Paul hostage and the other Queens are supposed to take out Rihanna as Maddona wants to be the red queen.....

At this point I woke up...  not sure how much more my mind could do with this. If you've never seen the syfy channels Alice i totlly recomend it , amazing version of the story and visually brethtakin g. Part of it is filmed in this abbandoned assylum in cnada som ewhere and some of it is sooo washed out and drab but at one point it was very modern and now nature is reclaiming it so it has a reall post apocaliptic feel. THroughout the dream most of the group i was directly interacting with were dressed in a very steam punk or 40's fiml nior fashion in all neutral colors brown and greyed out....

Maybe i should give up wine and greasy mexican food together?
