The After Photo

I really can’t believe it’s been a WHOLE WEEK since I posted.  This is the longest I’ve been “away” since I started taking this whole blogging thing seriously.  But boy, have I been busy! 

Alison is getting ready to start Kindergarten, and we got all of her back-to-school shopping done.  Can I just say how grateful I am that she will be wearing a uniform?  Because otherwise, I’d have had to get a second mortgage on the house to buy a whole new wardrobe for her rapidly growing frame.

I started cleaning that little black hole of mine, and it got me on a roll like you wouldn’t believe.  My house hasn’t looked this good in a year.  Here’s the After Photo:




and just in case you didn’t see the Before Photo, or are too lazy busy to click the link above, here you go:



I know, right?

I’ve also been called for Jury Duty.  That whole “student waiver” from five years ago finally expired, apparently.  I’m torn between hoping to get called for all the great blog fodder, and praying they resolve all their issues before tomorrow.

Finally and most importantly, my two favorite cousins are visiting from Arizona and Oklahoma, so we’re busy cackling it up and drinking wine, as usual.  They’ll be here until Thursday, so expect me back in all my blogging glory after that.

Wow, nice work! If only I was more easily inspired, I might work similar magic at our house.

I’ve been thinking about making myself a uniform, much like Simon Cowell, because I’m not really into fashion, and it would just make life, shopping, and laundry so much easier. It makes me realize why all those visions of the future always have everyone wearing identical unitards.

I wasn’t aware of a five-year student exemption, but if they have that here, my wife is certainly unprotected, because they hit her twice in 2 months this summer. And that was just on her maiden name.

Nice job! Can you make it down here to help me get ready for Saturday? I’m hopelessly lost. Sigh.

And a uniform would be nice, because I went nuts buying new clothes for PRESCHOOL. Gah!
