1. I decided to finally tackle the spring cleaning I promised myself I’d get done in April of 2009. So far, I’ve managed to complete two rooms.  I need to finish the other five tonight if all my plans are going to come together this week. Anyone have a super cape I could borrow? Or a magic wand? How about some fairies? Fairies could be helpful.

2. While I was frantically cleaning,  Captain Cavedweller finally agreed to update two lighting fixtures in the kitchen. The first light caused the following:

  • A mess of monumental proportion.
  • Captain Cavedweller to become quite agitated.
  • Crumbling wires from the old fixture that quite possibly had been there since the invention of electricity.
  • The need to call an electrician and beg for help.
  • A gaping hole in my ceiling.
  • The inability to turn on any of the kitchen lights for fear of what will happen with the crumbling wire.

3. After the first light, the second one is still in the box, unopened. Guess who gets to call electricians and beg for assistance? Here is a hint – it won’t be CC.

4. I staggered through the cobwebs on my treadmill and actually walked on it today. The treadmill and I are not on the most friendly terms and this recent interaction has caused us both to be conflicted and confused.

5. I am supposed to be writing a novel this month for a contest. The goal is to reach at least 50,000 words by Nov. 30. So far, I’ve written 15,660. This does not bode well for getting the novel done in a little more than a week.

6. Captain Cavedweller has requested prime rib for Thanksgiving rather than turkey. This has caused me to be conflicted and confused. What’s next? Carrot cake instead of pumpkin pie?

1. It definitely looks like fall in our neighborhood today. How did so many of the trees don entirely new coats of color overnight?

2. Because it looks like fall, I just want to stay home, drink spicy tea (thanks, Brandi) and sit by the fire like a warm, lazy slug.

3. I spent the entire weekend repainting my bathroom. A project that should have taken two hours, in my head. Things are sparkly, lovely and completely delusional in my head.

4. Because I spent the entire weekend repainting my bathroom, polishing, scrubbing and putting things back to rights, the rest of my house looks like a stage 3 disaster zone.

5. My BFF brought me pumpkins yesterday afternoon.

6. Because she caught me in the midst of my project, I was completely disoriented by the fumes and even more loopy than usual. I didn’t even ask her to stay long enough for a cup of tea.

7. Captain Cavedweller bought me the most wonderful rug for the bathroom for my birthday.

8. Because of that blasted rug that didn’t match my walls, I had to repaint the bathroom. Which was so much easier than returning the rug for a different color.

9. I’m trying to meet my self-imposed deadline of finishing my two holiday books before Halloween.

10. Because of my self-imposed deadline, I don’t see the disaster in my house getting any better anytime soon. In fact it may get worse as I make the final recipes for my holiday entertaining book and snap some photos.

I never cease to be fascinated by the phrases people type in search engines that lead them to my blog.

A few recent searches have really made me wonder what exactly these people were looking for.

There were the standard party theme searches, like for County Fair, Summer and Flip Flops.

There were also a few searches for Spiders which took them right to my freaky post about the billion baby spiders.

A search for a “vulgar plant” took them right to my post about Captain Cavedweller’s awful Dracula Lilies. I’d say that was a more than appropriate search.

The one that really had me shaking my head was a search for a “Weed Party.”  I’m pretty sure ending up with my post about the loco cats was not what they had in mind. At all.

Are you flustered?

I always find it enlightening and entertaining to see what words or phrases people use in search engines to end up at my blog.

The other day, a phrase that caught my eye was “Are you flustered?”

Well, yes I am, thanks for asking!

According to my handy-dandy dictionary, flustered is defined as “a state of agitated confusion.” Flustered can also mean muddled, puzzled, rattled…

I think that (sigh) describes me to a tee. This is not a good thing. I think I’ll go find some chocolate and contemplate what all this means.

In the meantime,  I just want to know who’s been peeking in my windows again. They must be stopped!

Happy New Year!

She who is flustered
