it's summertime...and the livin' is easy
Currently listening to "Closer", by Travis.
Ok, so this morning I had the brilliant idea to finally wash the curtains in my bedroom. They desperately needed it and I thought, "Hey, great time to do it. I'll throw 'em in the washer and throw 'em back up again."
Well, two hours later, I finally had them up again. And I crashed on my bed and looked up at them and said out loud, "Ah. Clean curtains." in an effort to make myself feel better that I spent two hours on window dressings for ONE window. Ugh. Yes Rebs, welcome to "homemaking". The factor that I didn't think about was ironing. And I hate ironing. Especially curtains that can't be ironed with a HOT iron, it has to be just WARM...cos then it take twice as long...and the curtains are huge, and there's seven of them......ok, I'm over it. I'll post a picture tomorrow of the finished product, as I forgot to do that today.
So much for getting anything accomplished for support this morning.
BUT I had a glorious evening on the deck with my mom and a glass of white wine. Mmm. Ok, three glasses of white wine. Haha. It's summertime. It hit 90 degrees today. Yessss.
P.S. I've also been listening to The Bad Plus lately and their song "1980 World Champion". LOVE it. Check 'em out here. Unfortunately they don't have "1980" up, but their other songs are equally brilliant.

Aaahhh....homemaking.....welcome to my life! My mom never told me how time consuming cleaning and taking care of a home actually was....
I am thinking that I need a salary for this work!
Glad you are back!
Know what would make me even more happy? If those glasses were half full! :)
Homemaking is definitely time consuming. You'd be proud of me - I've washed the dishes every day since we talked! I finally came to grips with the fact that it wouldn't be such a huge ordeal every time if I would just stay on top of it and do small amounts at a time. Sheesh. That requires motiVAtion.
Love you!

three glasses of wine? what are you, wonder-woman? haha. and ninety degrees is nothing to say 'yes' to. i think i would catch fire if i was outside in such a barbaric temperature.
