I was a little sad to realize I hadn't made it to the quotes wall until I remembered that the things I say IRL have a tendency to wind up on my boyfriend's Facebook updates. I'm not sure which would be worse but I do try for the gold medal in contextually inappropriate.

lol! I actually trimmed the desktop pile down to 6 inches or less before I left. It's the Mysteries of Where Things are Filed that foil him. Now he has a list complete with the location of the Emergency Chocolate so I'll have to reorganize/rehide things before my next vacation.

Didn't you know that 2' piles of paperwork actually add an insulating layer to your cubicle for extra warmth in winter? :)

Doesn't the breaking out the back-hoe when you need some give it away?

Last time I visited Florida, it was in the low 50s! I was just shocked!!

And part of the reason that I hide my chocolate in my kid's room, as that I'm forced to occasionally break out the back-hoe! They think I have these strange quarterly cleaning spurts when I throw away anything that was on the floor, leading to the closet. Truth is, I just need chocolate, and I make sure nothing is growing on the way through.

LMFAO!! I'd never heard that logic before but it does make perfect sense. I should tell my sister to do that. Last year for her birthday she asked my parents to come over and act as slave-drivers to her kids so they'd clean their rooms. If she told the kids that she hid candy in their rooms/closets and if they picked up they'd find it I could see that being a WONDERFUL motivational tool.

She just told me the WORST pick-up line in the history of pick-up lines. One of her friends had a destination wedding and while at the bar last night some guy told another of her friends (who said she was married) that "Well your ring doesn't cover your hole!"

I remember that one too, Belle, and I seem to recall that were several others before that comment.

Bad Fish has a whole string of quips from Kypiakoc's threads. I'm hoping to do an archive of must read threads: The Belching Llama thread; Enoch's Coffee thread... TL had one that I can't remember what it was called but it flourished for a month, and there was one from Celestina, that was still going a year after she left.

RL I live in an apartment, no basement :(

The goal though is to at least shove everything into the bedroom, then vacuum before surgery, which is why I'm not sure if the photo shoot will happen in time

But...I keep telling myself once I finish cleaning that I'll get myself a Roomba -- yeah I've said that for the last 3 years...

that's why I need to do the photo shoot before this weekend so I can write the article while I'm lying in bed moaning :P
