Three Day Week-End!

Three day week-end which means I have an extra day to get things done. Woot. Though, not really, because most things will be closed on Sunday.

I started cleaning yesterday morning. Most of the kitchen is squared away, dishwasher is loaded, and most of the table is cleared off. The couch is still a pretty hellish mess, though. I would have done more, but we had tickets to see Avenue Q last night and were out the door here at 5:30, so we could make with the Chinesey Goodness first.

Avenue Q was ...interesting... I enjoyed it, the songs were pretty amusing, the puppets were interesting, but I'm glad I didn't spend a tonne on tickets. I've been to shows I've enjoyed a lot more. My opinion was obviously not shared by the majority of the crowd, though, as they were constantly cheering after every number and laughing raucously throughout.  I don't know if it's because I didn't really watch Sesame Street or didn't live in dorms at college, but it wasn't that awesome. On the other hand, it did prove to me that it is officially cheaper to go to the theatre in Boston than to catch a Red Sox game.

SO! Things I need to do today after finishing my soda and LJ:

• Make a lemon meringue pie to bring to Mum.
• Bake buttermilk cake rounds for tomorrow's dessert (if I can find my round pans)
• Finish cleaning the kitchen: sweep and wash floors, wipe down counters, and clean stove.
• Wipe down table.
• Couch - obliterated, cushions rotated
• Clean clothes in living room put away upstairs
• Strip bed and remake.
  
• Laundry including mattress pad.
• Vacuum
• Dump camera.
  

That should keep me busy most of the day. I think I am also going to buy some inexpensive spring flowers to plop on the table. We had tulips for Steven's birthday and they were really pretty, so I think we shall forgo eating out once a week and have flowers instead. Also: my knee needs to stop complaining. I just got up and it's already twinging and cranky. I need to fill my ultram script today. It's not at "OMG! Worst Pain Ever!" level, but it's been really off all week. I tweaked it running upstairs at school and there's no rest for it here because the bathroom is upstairs and everything else is not.

Okay. Back to LJ, then magical cleaning/baking.
