…when you have Michael Jackson?
enjoy it while it lasts
I took advantage of the nice weather this weekend and finished cleaning the insides of the vehicles. I also washed and waxed the Highlander today. What a pain in the neck! I can see this isn’t going to happen very often. When I had my Scion, I used to wash and wax it all of the time. It was all glass on the roof (and it also had the plastic front and rear bumpers that are so prevalent on today’s cars) so there wasn’t much surface area to wax and it could be done quickly. Of course my Scion was the only car I ever made an effort to keep clean and look what happened to it.
defending your life
We caught this one last night. It was pretty light fare. I’m sure it was a great date movie in its day (1991). The movie is about what happens to you after you die–basically what you go through in order to prove yourself worthy to “move on” (go to heaven?) or whether you have to go back to earth and try it again (reincarnation). No hell here, folks. The movie wasn’t laugh-out-loud funny, but it was amusing. Unfortunately, not a sophomoric joke in sight.
north country
This movie was on HBO last night. I’ve been meaning to catch it, but didn’t get around to it until yesterday. It was based on a true story of the first major sexual harassment case in the U.S. Charlize Theron played the main character who worked in the mines and suffered through some stuff you wouldn’t believe could’ve happened just over 20 years ago.
Brian and I both enjoyed the movie, though he is totally offended that men could act the way they did in the movie. Isn’t that sweet?
speed cleaning
I found this article on speed cleaning last week. It has a lot of good ideas in it. I think we’re going to try it out. I’d much rather have the house look good all of the time versus looking good just after I do a major cleaning.
In other house cleaning news, we spent a good chunk of yesterday getting the office in order. It really needed cleaned. But, it still doesn’t look good up there mainly because that is the last area of our house that needs to be remodeled. I attempted to straighten up the office a few months ago, but could never get Brian up there to work on his desk so only two-thirds of the room was completed then. At that time, I managed to organize the cables for two of our three computers and clean. By yesterday, the room definitely needed to be cleaned again, so we did that. And, I organized the cables for Brian’s desk and he filed a bunch of stuff away and set up his desk so that he’s ready to work come next Friday (his first official day as a full-time self-employed person).
