i suck at chores

things i did get done:

1. vacuumed house
2. did dishes
3. bleached out kitchen sink
4. tidied bedroom (but still needs to be actually cleaned)
5. folded clothes
6. ordered a new shirt from the achewood site (the dude and catastrophe!), as well as some stickers. my car has a nasa sticker on it right now (why? i don't know), and that needs to be remedied.
   

things i did not do and probably won't do:

1. clean out the garage

walking into that garage is totally depressing. it's packed with stuff that needs to be either thrown out, organized, or taken to the thrift store. a big chunk of it isn't mine, either, so i'm not sure what to do with it. i'm hoping i can enlist my mom and sister one weekend to combat it together; if not i'll have to work on it this week. it's just such a sucky job! man.

we got two cute mormon missionaries today. i love those kids. i told them that i love their people, and respect what they do and their faith, but that we're a house of lapsed catholics. we talked about their mission, where they were from, how much longer they have and all that. they were impressed by my knowledge of all things mormon, and the left me with a nice pamphlet and their number in case i "needed anything." what nice kids.

i did apply for a few jobs today, and am getting ready to write some cover letters for resumes that need to be put in the mail. looking at apartments, wondering whether or not living with my sister is going to kill me. i love her, and our plan to get a place together would save us both a ton of money (especially if we live here), which i could put toward major move #3's fund. doing what's best and most practical isn't exactly my strong suit right now, but i'm trying real hard. i think once we're actually in a place where we have our own space things will be easier. right now i'm basing our potential living environment on four adults and one toddler living in a house the size of a shoe box. we're not at each other's throats all the time, but i admit we have our moments. if i could do whatever i wanted i'd get the hell out of here and head south to portland like i'd planned. it just doesn't make sense in a financial way, blah blah blah. being a grown-up rules when it means cocktails and watching late-night cartoons, but sucks when it comes to fiscal issues.
