Thing is, all the trim and doors and everything in the entire damned house are like this. Windows, everything. It is actually a huge pain in the ass, and will be a huge amount of work to fix. Some people should not be allowed to paint things.

My house is the same. Most of the paint sticks, but you can see those alligator patterns in places, and paint is chipping off doors and trim, but the worst is the kitchen cupboards, where paint is constanly flaking off into my plates and cups. I thought of trying to save the cupboards if I ever redo the kitchen, but the thought of stripping those cupboards makes me go gaaaah!

I tried to be organized today. I emptied all three shelves of my spice/baking cabinet. Two shelves worth are back in place but all my spices are still on the counter. I should put them back. I should also get up and cook something. Eventually.

We had BBQ last night, and had a shitton of ribs left over, so I am nibbling on those. NOM NOM NOM.

I was not organized today. So there! Did get some laundry done and went swimming with the kids, which in my world counts as a good day. Made that banana ice cream someone linked too about a week ago. Everyone but Franny thought it was yummy, but she was also eating some left over chocolate/vanilla frogurt swirl, so it might have suffered a bit by comparison.

I should make dinner, or something. I'm not sure I have the energy. I think I've got some TJ's frozen vegetable curry with rice. I could microwave that. That still requires the energy to get off the couch and into the kitchen and unwrap the food.

Jezebel just posted this vintage commercial. They are twelve and I am twelve, but gosh this made me laugh

I was not organized today. I whacked 20% of the weeds that are growing between my driveway and the fence (this is a very small portion of al the weeds that need whacking in my yard, but I can't be precise about the total weed population) before the belt snapped again (this is belt #3 or 4). Then I ordered a new Grass Hog.

After careful consideration, I have decided that I like Jon Stewart's beard. Though not the fluff.

Yay house, Erin! Both the refinancing and the decluttering.

I unpacked 4 more boxes! and sealed up another bag of winter clothes. also 2 loads of laundry. I threw down the gauntlet with mac wrt him doing NOTHING around the house. He starts helping or I do nothing for him. He got himself dinner. We'll see how bedtime goes.

Suzi reminds me that I am ready for the green top Schilling or McCormick spice jars if anyone did in fact find any. email me and I will get you the address and postage costs.

Do you care of the labels are pristine, msbelle? If I can pry any away from my mother, they will almost certainly have been written on.

I will probably soak off the labels actually, so no.
