Happy birthday!! So many fab people born around this time (my born day was Monday).

Aww, sorry I missed it! Well, late happy birthday! And thank you <3

I missed your pics anyway, so I'm glad to see them. And now I understand at least one reason for the thing that is instagram.

It is such a revelation to me. i've never had such an easy time taking pictures and sharing them, and the preset filters and frames, I don't mind those at all, it signals "this is not serious photo so dont' make it serious" and that makes it okay to just take a bad pic and share it.

And I've really been feeling that my words and pictures balance has been off, and this is a great way to restore the balance and save Equestria with the power of friendship make my tumblr more like what I visualized.

I feel like you should win a Nobel prize or something. Seriously. When I read these stories I feel better about the world.

Just kidding! That's so sweet of you to say.

I want to buy you presents and take you to dinner! My home office is in order. Having an uncluttered (even restful) place in which to work means: all of my syllabi and course documents are done and up on the course websites.... and classes don't even begin till next week. BOOYAH! I can RELAX and ENJOY the rest of break!

I love presents and dinner! And I love that your office is unfucked!

In the past 2 weeks, I have dealt with: my closet (of horrors), my refrigerator (of doom), and my office. To be dealt with later: organizing my yarn, beads and other craftiness stuff. Dealing with that later because TODAY I must: Grade, figure out what I'm taking to dept potluck tomorrow and make it, pick up packages at UPS, and edit a proposal. Check ya later.

So I jumped on tumblr to send a note about how last night I washed ALL THE CLOTHES and folded/hung and put everything away and I was so proud of myself and rubbing my hands in glee thinking about the awesome gif I would get and you told me to MAKE MY BED. So I did.

YOU GET TWO GIFS! TWO!

The closet is done! Giveaways are packed to give away, throwaways are thrown away... found some stuff I thought I lost. 1 down, 2 to go.

Went out shopping today - not for gifts or fun things for myself but for a VACUUM CLEANER THAT ACTUALLY WORKS! The amount of dirt I got out of the carpet is... embarrassing ... but it's out! And I cleaned the bathroom and hung shower caddies so the shampoo, shower gel etc don't sit on the edge of the tub collecting grossness. Tomorrow the closets. Dear god, the closets.

Dude, when I got my good vacuum, I was mortified and fascinated by how much came out of my carpets. Same with the carpet steamer. No matter how often I do it, the water is always black.

And closets are fun! Not fun, so much, I guess, but SO satisfying.
