This house is Clee-uh.

Holy good god am I ever sick of cleaning.  however. I am always super-de-duper pleased with the results.  We still have a few things to do before eric arrives tomorrow, but we don't expect him in the AM or anything, so i think we'll have time to take out the trash, throw a few things in the basement, change the reeking litter box, and wipe down every surface in the goddamn bathroom.  I am actually super good at cleaning bathrooms.  I usually prefer to do them in the wee hours of the morning, like now, but unless I catch a second wind I don't see that happening before bed.

We also have a couple muffin pans that we discovered hiding in a lower cabinet that I must have shoved there to hide them some time-- they have remnant food crusted-but thankfully not molded- in them, so those muffin bitches need to soak overnight!  lol.

But wanna know what?  i had a really wonderful afternoon with my husband.  We decided to go out to one of our favorite places-- Coriander Indian Bistro in sharon center.  Oh my lord, was it ever satisfying!  Perfection.  yum yum yum yum yum.

And then we hopped a couple doors down to French Memories and picked up the best pastries ever for dessert-- Almond croissants from the little french bakery.  we were wayyy too full from indian to eat them just then, so we took them home and savored them later with tea and cuddles.

Also, i got to take a nice long nap in the afternoon sun on my couch.  I fell asleep full and contented and with a smile on my lips.  I felt warm and soft all the way down to my toes when aaron woke me up with kisses.  Yay.

then he let me write for like an hour before we had to finally get back to the business of cleaning for our visitor.  And I love-and-a-half the scene that popped out of my fingers!  Hadn't planned it, hadn't even thought about a scene like this one before, but suddenly there it was!  You won't get to read it for a while though because it takes place close to avalon's wedding, so we got some time yet;  we have a bunch of Maggie & Grey growing pains to experience before we fast-forward to the big wedding. 

I could just purr.

I wish we didn't have to go back to work ever.  Oh, and I wish I had a job.  For now it looks like subbing again and I'm going to have to try and get a part-time job as well.  nights and weekends.  i'll never see my husband, friends, or family, but I guess that's how it goes whenm you're a grown up, right?

Meh.  I don't want to think about that right now.  I want to focus on the wonderfullness.  I'mma go hop in the shower and then take advantage of our last night alone together before houseguest!  Connubial Bliss awaits!

Cheers!
