Ahhhhhh....Sundays
Oct. 11th, 2009 09:34 amSundays are easy going days, if by easy going you mean involves massive amounts of cleaning. X3
But today will be easy because the bathroom doesn't need to be scrubbed quite yet. But it'll probably need it tomorrow afternoon. As it stands, today will be spent cooking the noms for the Birthday Party and getting creative with wrapping. I don't think I'll be pulling out the calligraphy set this year, but decorate with markers. I have no idea what Mel and Trent are doing for theirs. (Knowing my husband, he'll wrap it whatever he can find.)
I dug out the Rock Band stuff Friday, and officially brought it out yesterday. It's currently sitting in the living room, under the TV as a reminder of "Remember this or die." I also have to remember to grab the games. Because all of that equipment is useless with out the games.
Yesterday I bought fabric for my party dress as well as some costume pleather for Athena's chest plate. I'll probably start cutting out my dress on Wednesday (minor road trip on Tuesday) and get it sewn before NaNo starts. (NaNo is another entry for another LJ.) It'll probably be after Halloween before I can truly finish Athena. At least I have the grommets and don't need to buy them. I also hit up Bath and Body Works for scented oils (Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, Black Currant Vanilla, and Spearmint Eucalyptus.) My place is going to smell good. Hurrah!
Also showing my dorkitude, I bough Heat Wave by Richard Castle. I'm as yet to officially start reading it, but I'm excited. Part of my purchase is to show my support for Castle which is in some trouble with ABC, as the ratings aren't what the network wants them to be. I also want to buy the first season on DVD. I'm not one for letter writing or calling, so I'll show my support by faithfully tuning in on Monday nights, purchasing promotional materials (like Heat Wave), and getting the series on DVD.
Anyway, I think my shower is now free and I need to clean up before diving into the kitchen full bore to get food ready for the birthday party.
