Roy actually DID refuse to come into the apartment. I think he's mad over the kitten (he's in now, now that the kids are outside 'petting' him)

went to drop off some mail in my box only to find that the mail came early and left me a note about them failing to give me my boxes (WHY they left a note rather than just bring me the damn boxes I have no idea) so I truck to the post office and get the boxes, the ones I specifically asked about last week when i came home.

I ran up to get my chinese pant suit from the drycleaners who couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was (and my neighbor also loved it, wanted to go with me as my date). Dropped off clothing at Goodwill

Went to the library to get Odd Hours only to find a) 5 episodes of the manga version of Emma (i took 1 &2) b) that Phantom Prey had also come in, naturally so I have two one-weekers to read in a week.

went to Wal-Mart for flipflips (had none) and black shorts (had none) and summer PJ's (had none), in fact I'd like to chastize the crap out of the Jackson Wally World. Have you LOOKED at your clientele? Have you? I'm average to smaller than average in size compared to them and yet you have almost COMPLETELY removed the plus sizes. WTF?? In fact you have NO lingerie above a 14. And the plus size clothing has been reduced to a few white stag shirts and some capri pants. It boggles the mind

got home to start cleaning. Cleaning ended when I dropped my drippings can on the stove. It naturally went into a burner, under the burner, through the drain hole into the stove and finally into the storage area under the stove. HOW much oil can be in a soup can? It took forever to clean that up!

So what was in the boxes? The replacement watermelon for the broken one but it's half dead since it was at the post office for a freaking week or more. and EARLY BIRTHDAY GIFTS!

Whee! thanks to scarlette_hawk for the really nice bath set and the candle collection and to 0_mother_0 for the cool tapas cookbook.

Then I get a phone call from Mom. Go outside and look for DHL. Huh? Your birthday gift. They can't find you. They called here looking for the house. I open the door and there's the poor DHL dude going apt to apt. I was babbling to mom about that Dr. Who usb port wildrider got so mom got it for me for my birthday.

Speaking of Who, Mom was talking to me on the phone later in the evening and said, 'Oops gotta go. I was the back up plan if your dad didn't get away from his brother. I have to go get him in time to watch Dr. Who. Once again I take backseat to a SF show.

and it turns out I DO have a squee icon (still need a birthday one)
