winterbreak

i am now off from work for 16 days--i wanted to do a billion things but--as always--now that it is here, i want to be lazy.

today is just day 2 of break. and it snowed heavily on friday night when i was at a play with my parents (25th annual putnam county spelling bee) anyway---after trying to get them home and failing, they stayed with me for the night. My phone shattered when i dropped it before the play, so i also had to go to the verizon store at chesterfield town center and get a new phone. so i was not so lazy yesterday. had to dig out, go get a new phone and feed my parents breakfast and take them home (this list was not in order, obviously) so all of that took until about 3 pm. Then i napped until 6, ate dinner, walked the dog for an hour in the snow (surprisingly, he never tired---when it is not freezing out, he gets tired after 4 blocks--when he has to trudge through chest-deep snow, he never loses energy) then i baked a cake and made cookie dough.

My house us a wreck and i want to clean it today--but i have loads of laundry to put away, and i need to go get jam to make the linzer cookies and then i need to roll those out and bake them. Melissa is also having a party (that is what i am making the cake and cookies for) and i want to meet alana at ellwood's. so maybe i will clean tuesday when my only plan is to go to dinner for tiffany's birthday. the house will get cleaned in the next 14 days--it has to...i have neglected it for about a month and i am drowning in dog hair.

my washing machine's inner rubber tube seems to be disintegrating. i did 2 loads of laundry yesterday and there was this grey powdery substance and that is all i can think it could be. i recently turned up my water heater for the winter and made it a bit too hot--so today i turned it down. i hope that is what is going on b/c i REALLY cannot handle anymore drama with this washer and dryer.

ok, why am i blogging this crap. i should be having adventures so i can actually blog about exciting things.
