cleaned the refrigerator, polished the chandelier, purged the linen closet, fixed another ceiling fan light, made a tablecloth and even managed to feed the kids.
who am i anyway?

pms came a-knockin' today and i foolishly answered the door.

even the biggest movie fanatic of a husband will leave a flick mid-scene if you call his cell phone four times then let out an angry scream when he finally returns your call.

everybody needs a good cry now and then.

i finished the window treatments for the dining room. they could use a little tweaking but i'm happy to have something to block out some of the morning sun that doesn't clash with the room.
and with less daylight we'll probably have less algae in the fish tank.

and i know you care about that.

not only am i cleaning but i am also doing a lot of home repair / home decor projects. i'm feeling a bit obsessed right now, but it keeps me busy and happy to boot. some of last week's projects include painting a bathroom, repairing the light switch for two celing fans, replacing the fill valve & flapper on a toilet and now i'm making blinds for the dining room. i'm sure most of you have never seen me work so hard. oh yeah, i painted the kitchen ceiling fan's blades red too.

on a much cooler note, this morning while i was driving emily to a playdate i noticed my car said it was only 53 degrees outside! i think the day topped out at 62. we must've had 3 inches of rain here too. crazy kansas july.

i'm going to the wiener dog races tomorrow. look at what happens to a girl when you take her out of l.a.!

i've been found out by two lovely ladies, both named pusateri. i feel quite loved because they certainly had no reason to check out my site. yet another reason i long to be back "home" in california.

it's been a busy summer of lots of not much. i feel like i have little free time, yet i cannot put my finger on exactly what it is that i've been doing. lots of cleaning i guess. it's kind of a new thing for me (just ask m. pusateri) i never quite understood how she cleaned so often. now i understand that the reward of a clean home becomes an addiction. i'm still not crazy about the work itself, but the high following it is delightful. we'll see how long this lasts.

not much else really. i'd like to go to bed. but i must do the dishes first.

tee hee. . .i'm blogging and you don't know it because you don't check in anymore.

same as ever here in kansas (yes, i'm still here). still bargain hunting. still missing cali.

we have a cat. charlie. very cute. and she's not been attacking my feet in bed as of late. i appreciate that.

martin is a bartender at the Marriott.

kids are still quite lovely.

it's swimsuit season again. wahoo!

I wish I was in South Pas tonight.
