Procrastinator of the Year: Someone kick my ass and get me moving!
Edited on Sat Jul-11-09 02:56 PM by PassingFair
I'm having 50+ people, including ALL of my husband's
relatives over for my daughter's graduation party
TOMORROW at 2:00.

The food is ordered and won't get picked up until
tomorrow.

The house is mainly a mess, on account of my Aunt
being put into a nursing home 3 months ago, and I
still have all of her stuff in boxes every where.
They will go in the garage until I figure out what
to do with all the %$%$%@^ tchotskis (all worth
money, all glass figurines and crap) that are littering the place.

I still have to buy all the snacky, chippy, crappy snacks
and the beer and pop.

Take your best shot -- get my ASS IN GEAR!

1. Have you spoken with Skittles about this?
She can be a prime motivator in this type of situation. :D

2. My husband is pushing my chair around in an "earthquake" simulation.
I'm still here!

3. If you don't get your ass in gear
I will make sure you never get to pee in the pool. I have friends in powerful places! :P ;) :) That trip can be cancelled with one snap of my finger! :P ;) :)

4. Okay, now I am wandering around with a can of Pledge and a...
dry cloth.

I keep veering back into the cave, though.

:hi:

And thanks for the kick in the butt!

15. I love the lemon.
My mom is a clean freak and I became addicted to the smell when I was younger. :)

16. Same for me.
The smell of PineSol hits me like
tea and madeleines hit the nerves of
Mr. Proust.....

"I declined at first, and then, for no particular reason, changed my mind. She sent out for one of those little cakes called ‘petites madeleines’. . . . And soon, mechanically, weary after a dull day with the prospect of a depressing morrow, I raised to my lips a spoonful of the tea in which I had soaked a morsel of the cake. No sooner had the warm liquid, and the crumbs with it, touched my palate than a shudder ran through my whole body, and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary changes that were taking place within me. An exquisite pleasure had pervaded me, unconnected with anything, with no suggestion of its origin. It had at once made the vicissitudes of life indifferent to me, its disasters innocuous, its brevity illusory, as does love, and had filled me with a precious essence: or rather, this essence was not in me, it was myself. I had ceased to feel mediocre, accidental, mortal. Whence could it have come to me, this powerful joy? I sensed that it was connected with the taste of the tea and cake, but that it infinitely transcended that savour, could not be of the same kind. Whence did it come? What did it signify? How could I grasp it? I take a second sip in which I find nothing new, a third that brings me a little less than the second one. It is time to stop, the drink’s value appears to fade. Clearly, the truth that I look for is not there but in myself. . . . I put down the cup and let my attention turn inward. It is up to my mind to find the truth. But how?"


:rofl:

5. Get your ass in gear and get your house cleaned up TONIGHT.
Then run your ragged ass to to the store tomorrow morning and get all the last minute snacks, chips, beer and pop. Call in some helpers. Have fun. :toast:

Hey, it's only 50 people who'll think you're a complete slob and your daughter will be completely mortified.
