Spring Break
I work at a College in the town I live in and come March we always get a Spring Break. Believe me by March I am always grateful for the break...but it never seems to fail that the weather before Spring Break is always so nice...and just when Spring break gets here it turns to winter....after not having a winter all winter long...go figure!
This year was no exception...we got 2 inches of snow and the winds picked up something fierce and it's been freezing!! So, I am pretty much confined to the house...now, you might think, that's not a bad thing. I get to relax, work on my jewelry, read, watch movies, enjoy the break...yeah right! What it means is that I get to clean stuff...and I don't want to clean stuff...I want to relax, work on my jewelry, read, watch movies and enjoy the break.
By the way, it doesn't help that my husband wants me to clean stuff too...stuff that hasn't been cleaned in a long long time, like the utility room. Now this utility room is a real mess...a nightmarish mess. I am going to need a sand blaster and a torch along with a gas mask to clean this mess (you know the getup, the kind that they use to clean up toxic spills). Seriously, I was tempted to post a pic, but I am afraid that the perfect image you have of me will be forever shattered and you will never want to venture into my home again. (It's that bad!)
So I will refrain from posting a pic and being that vulnerable and open...but I am sure you can just imagine, and to think, my husband is an enviromentalist. The kind who does all the restuarant inspections. You would think our home would be the picture of sterile cleanliness (sure, have you seen Mike's van?) Well I do have a bleach mixture spray bottle, but suffice it to say, until I get a sand blaster, torch and gas mask I am not touching this room. It might just have to wait till next Spring break, after all, it's suppose to be a nice day tomorrow. (hehe)

Well aunt Dorothy, I see that you finally got a blog. I love them, don't you? I have been writing for a long time now, however, I mostly write poetry in mine. But I liked yours, its funny, almost adventurous even. And I see that I am the first one to post a blog comment. The reason I found out about your little blog here, was because I got an email saying that you had a blog. So I decided to check it out. I liked it. I hope to be seeing more of your blogs in the not to distant future.
Sincerely
Gaby
Well I found an email in my inbox saying that you had a blog. I was excited to see it. I'm glad to have read it as well, I liked it. Very funny by the way. Yeah, uncle mike isn't a very tidy person. But I guess we all have our moments of exposure. LOL. Well I hope to read more of your blogs soon.
Sincerely
Gaby
cleaning is over rated.....
And that image of you cooking with a sand blaster and gas mask?? delightful!!
You did say cooking right?? anyway..... I am re-thinking your hospitable offer of visiting, at least until the dust settles! I'd not feel at home if there's not at least two or three layers of dust!!
