Ok, so we all know the scary state of un-tidy that my poor little home has been in over the last month.  well: NOT ANY MORE! (almost), and other exciting details of Angie’s Friday.

We got done with work early (Thursday, rather than Saturday – yes, frustrating for me, who just wants to go home, but the flight is already booked, and there was a huge storm in Denver, anyway…) so this morning, I relaxed all day, didn’t even get out of bed before 4pm (except to eat).

Then, tonight, I got into the holiday spirit, did a little x-mas shopping downtown, caught a little of the holidazzle parade, walked around, bought some new shoes, and other heart-warming positives.

Upon my return home (and trying on the shoes again, realizing that I got them a size too-big, and will need to exchange them tomorrow), I began the big tidy of Fall ’06.  So far, I have cleaned the bathroom (including tub, toilet, sink, mirrors, and floor), done about 5 loads of laundry (the first since Thanksgiving, yes, I can go that long without doing laundry, scary, I know), done most of the dishes (3 loads so far), cleaned 1/2 of the kitchen, and started in on my desk.  I still have a lot to do, the living room really needs love, as does my bedroom (although the laundry makes a big impact).  If that makes you tired at all, I agree!!  (I even cleaned out my wallet)

So, tomorrow, I will finish anything I don’t finish tonight, then pack up to leave.  I get to go to someone else’s family Christmas dinner tomorrow night, which I am excited for, it will be fun.  Then I will spend the night at a friend’s in Savage, who I have convinced to take me to the airport at 4am on Sunday (hurrah!!).

I dare say this post is a little long, but it is my 10th, so I think I deserve it.  (right??)

Love you all!! And I miss you, too!  MCAD is pretty quite right now… maybe have seen about 6 people milling in the last week, and most of them were public safety!
