Yeah, you would want to live here too!
Because i cleaned yesterday.
and i know, most people do this often. and i do, especially my bathroom. i hate a dirty bathroom. but other rooms in the house get taken up by dirty clothes, books, magazines, and general clutter.
Tuesday night, i promised my mom that by the time she got home on wednesday, my place would be clean. she is typically home around 6. i did laundry, hung pictures, threw away a lot of garbage, sorted, scrubbed, wiped, vaccumed. i also rearranged furniture. all. by. myself. and i am paying for it today with a sore back. but really, who is supposed to do it for me? my invisible boyfriend? i think not.
At 5:15 i looked around, looked at my very shaken up cats, and sighed. i was finished. and it looked good, real good. i took a shower, and sat. and it still looks good today!
5:15 was definately the happiest moment of my day yesterday.
and my mom’s reaction? “oh, i want to live here too!” excellent.
now i just need to keep it that way!
I’m Rich!!!

this is amazing! but first, i want to know a few things, so i am going to write them a letter in return.
Dear Belgium Lottery,
Thank you for selecting little ol’ me to win your lottery. I will now be able to afford to begin cloning my cats. before i claim this wonderful prize, i do have a few questions for you. first of all, if you are located in Belgium, why am i getting 1 million in US dollars? shouldn’t it be in Euros, or Belgian money? and if so, my guess the exchange rate is not in my favor, and therefore will be getting less than a million dollars. and why am i just hearing about this millennium scientific computer game now? didn’t we pass the millennium marker a few years ago? i thought for sure i would have heard about it by now. and i understand this is a game targeted at Internet users, but what are you encouraging them to do? don’t people spend enough time on the Internet already?
Also, i think before you start handing out money like candy on Halloween you should begin a search for a new secretary. her punctuation is terrible. and why is she signing her name to the letter? shouldn’t it be from a CEO or an account manager or something?
thank you for letting me know about my win. i look forward to your prompt answers to these questions. when i get your reply letter, is there any way you can also send me any of those tasty waffles you are so well known for?
Thank you,
CoffeeBeanQueen, future millionaire and owner of cloned cats
I am gonna call you…
My grandma had my cousins for the last couple of days. J is 4, I is 3. they are hilarious. I spent the day with them yesterday. somehow, J and i got into this game where we were going to call each other things, it went something like this.
me: I am gonna call you why
J: i am gonna call you a cat
me: i am going to call you a camel
J: i am gonna call you a car
me: i am gonna call you a wheel
(ok, so you get the point…this went on for a looong time a few of my favorites though, from his side)
I am gonna call you post office!
I am gonna call you stoplight!
I am gonna call you some groceries!
and my favorite:
I am gonna call you Periwinkle!!!
could not stop laughing…what 4 year old boy knows and uses the word Periwinkle? my cousin does apparently, and it cracked me up!!!
ahh, out of the mouths of babes!
