I have this jingle from a horrible commercial stuck in my head. It's for the "Rose Petal Cottage". The line I can't stop singing goes "I love when my laundry smells so clean. Taking care of my home is a dream, dream, dream." Need I mention that the commercial only shows girls and the cottage is in yellows, pinks and purples? This comes from the makers of the "lillypad castle" where a girl can "wait for her prince to come". Frog to kiss included. No joke.
Ack.

It's a good day, Tater.
So I've spent the day decorating/rearranging my apartment. It looks pretty fantastic. It doesn't have those typical apartment white walls; they're actually a pretty grey/blue.
The impetus for the whole shebang was getting my TV out of the bedroom. I put it in the 2nd bedroom/office and put the elliptical back there to get it out of the living room. Its especially nice because now I can have the TV on while on the computer. Futurama is on right now.
Side note: why aren't there any guys in cleaning supplies commercials? Besides the hapless husband/child archetype, of course. It bothers me. Jimmy does just as much cleaning as I do, typically. And neither of us particularly enjoys it. So, boo marketing. Maybe if TV actually portrayed men cleaning, societal opinion of cleaning as "women's work" would start to shift.
Anyway. TV is out of my bedroom, which is good. All my boxes are now unpacked or put away, which is great. AND I cashed in my points and am getting a new entertainment center and curtains! Ok, maybe I'm overly excited. But I like it when my place looks pretty.
In other news, I've switched to a four day workweek. It makes the days long, but I really like having a three day weekend. I'm running up to Florence a lot to do wedding stuff and help my mom decorate the basement. And I'm going up to Toledo a couple of times next month, so the extra weekend day is really useful. Yay state government!
Hey, did you see that Colin Powell endores Barack Obama? I always liked that guy. Except for the whole anthrax vial at the UN thing. But everyone makes mistakes.
Later Days,
Laura
