In other news:
- I smoked half a cigarette on Saturday night. I didn't really want to but I was drinking wine and I still have this brainwashed into my mind that when I have three drinks I need to smoke. I'll work on that.
- Honey finished our taxes up yesterday. We went from getting $350 back from the IRS to OWING them $1200!!! RAWR! It's all cuz of Honey's month of contract work when he started his job last year. Bah humbug. Bye-bye leftover bonus "savings."
- Did a bit of spring cleaning yesterday. I started cleaning the kitchen as I always ritualistically do on Sundays. Honey was watching back-to-back episodes of Biker Build-Off. After three or four episodes, he asked, "Can I do anything to help?" Big mistake! I got him to vacuum the entire house, fold the laundry leftover from last week, straighten up and organize the "music room" (which was once the "workout room" when we actually used the treadmill that's in there collecting cobwebs). Actually, I only asked him to vacuum and fold the laundry - the rest he did on his own! I cleaned bathrooms, arranged my new room a bit, and gathered up laundry. Honey brushed the dog's teeth (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!) and brushed him down in the yard. We both picked up trash that's been sitting on our lawn for two months and cleaned out the firepit. All in all it was a very productive Sunday!
- Yesterday, I also filled up the bird feeders. It was so hot last night that I slept with the window open a bit. This morning, I heard three new bird chirps from the tree below the bedroom window. It was such a pretty way to wake up on a Monday morning!
- I hate this time change deal this time of year. Losing an hour really screws me up for two or three days straight. Couldn't get to sleep last night, ended up over-sleeping this morning, yadda yadda. Although, I am looking forward to more sunlight during the days!
Happy Monday everyone.
