back to the landfill

I've been back home for several days, and I've enjoyed it. Haven't done a lot. But I've managed to see a movie (Cowboys & Aliens - more on that later...), read a book, get a starbucks, float in the pool, have drinks/lunch with two groups of good friends, spend some quality time with hubby, see my son, made a pie, cooked a few decent meals in my own kitchen. It's been nice. Today, after I finish coffee, I think I will tackle the landfill bedroom. This is the bedroom that housed all the stuff out of the kitchen cabinets during the renovation that is not quite complete, a year+ later... And, all the paperwork/bills/mail for the past year has collected because I just did not make the time to deal with it, with Auntie's illness, my mom's hospitalization, a tough year at work, and what-not... I have to get back to south texas soon, and I hate to leave yet again with that room in such a disaster. I'm a clutter bug, and I have issues with procrastination, attention deficit, and a genetically coded tendency for being a slob, so it is a real challenge for me to actually clean something. I know how to do it, I just don't do it well, mostly because of the previously mentioned issues... So, it's back to the landfill. Maybe after this next cup of coffee.

I mentioned Cowboys & Aliens. It was... strangely entertaining. Hokey, predictable, but fun for a few hours of eating popcorn and milk duds in the dark with someone you like... And, well, Daniel Craig in tight pants, leather chaps, and boots ain't bad either. I kind of like westerns, if nothing else, to see handsome, rugged men in cowboy clothes. Tom Selleck, Harrison Ford, and that really great guy with the gravelly voice and gray hair... what is his name... dang it... anyway, they all look really great in cowboy clothes. (see what I mean about attention deficit... I am so easily distracted!! which increases my procrastination, which makes it difficult to clean, which is why I  have a bedroom doubling as a landfill..)

A good friend sent pictures from her family trip to Italy. They are beautiful. I'd love to go sometime, to Rome, maybe hang out in the Sistene Chapel... sip some wine, eat some good food. Maybe after the landfill/bedroom gets cleaned... I wonder which will happen first? Save enough money to go to Italy or get the landfill/bedroom cleaned??? time will tell... until next time. If you don't hear from me for a while, come get me. I'm probably mired in a slog of old mail that needs shredding in the cheerfully painted spare landfill...
