devilgrrl...I am allergic to Easy Off. I've been feeling sick since we started cleaning and I couldn't figure out why. When my mum came over this morning, she took one look at my kitchen and said "Oh no, you weren't cleaning the oven, were you?" I'm all well, yea, it needed it. She proceeded to tell me that she always had to use that stuff when I wasn't going to be around or just use the self-cleaning cycle because I always got sick from it.
...Thanksgiving shopping sucks. Total cost for our dinner was $38 and change. That included little incidentals I needed, like butter flavoured Crisco, which I will use throughout the holiday season. People move like cattle in the grocery store and no one knows what they want. I will be the only person who knows what they want and it will be damn near impossible for me to obtain things.
...The Toyato Highlander commercial is the exact same beat as that cheating song by Carrie Underwood. It's just a smidge faster and more upbeat.
...I only need to cook onions and two pies tonight, plus turkey, spuds, and veg tomorrow. That makes me a very happy badger. Uncomplicated Thanksgivings are bliss. I do not need to cook for an army because Steven and I are not Mongolian hordes and all it will do is encourage us to eat lots of leftovers and waste food. Also, it will encourage me to gain weight which is Not Cool.
...Those stupid little flies are called coffin flies and apparently, bleach is the only thing that does them in. As a bonus, my bathroom is the cleanest it's probably ever been since it was built. Scrubbing the grout with a toothbrush is also surprisingly therapeutic.
...On the other hand, bleach is not killing my mildew the way I want it to, so I will Tilex things. Then, I will spend the evening high on Easy Off and Tilex fumes.
...Begging will not make my favourite boots that I've had since high school fit, ever again. Begging my mum, however, will mean I can borrow her really nice boots for the week-end.
...Packing tomorrow is a good thing. It will make the trip up to Vermont much easier and much more pleasant.
...LJ is a great way to procrastinate.

Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you have fun on your trip.

Hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving too!
