Preparations start...or is that continue

I hate cleaning. I guess that is why my house is such a mess. I have a list of tasks that I need to finish before my husband gets home, or else I will feel such shame. I have almost completely finished all of my dishes. I don't know why this is such a big deal. I mean, I do have a dishwasher. Not only do I have my dishes almost caught up, but I also scrubbed my toilets, and I mopped my kitchen floor. I had to scrape gum off my floor. Once I figured out it was gum I got it off the floor easily, but first I had to figure that out. I can't tell you how long I scrubbed at that spot. Now I just have to get my laundry caught up.

Housework is a constant, and not very exciting, but those aren't my only projects. I have a dead battery on my truck, so I need to go buy a new battery. Luckily I can jump-start it, but there isn't enough charge to restart it once it is shut off. I found this out yesterday when I finally got around to jumping my truck. Is it sad that it has taken me almost 3 months to get around to jumping my truck? Despite my taking forever to jump my truck, I feel handy. I also refilled the windshield wiper fluid on both my truck and my car. I'll probably make a run to Sears tomorrow morning, or sometime on Friday. I need to take my car into the dealership because the light for my airbag system is on. I swear my car is always breaking.

The other project isn't something that NEEDS to get done, but it would be nice to finish my bed. I bought a king size platform captain's bed, and it has to be completely assembled. I even have to build the drawers. Mind you, I bought this bed back in June and it is now April. I figure one more full day of assembly and I will have it finished. My back is just really sore by the time I'm done, so I avoid working on it like the plague.

I only have like a few weeks more until my husband returns, and I have virtually nothing done. I had planned on losing all 70 pounds that I needed to lose before my husband got home. So far I've lost 15. If I work really hard I might be able to lose 10 more before he comes home.

One of the things that I always try to do before my husband comes home is beautify myself. I haven't worn earrings since my honeymoon over 8 years ago. Part of the reason is because I used to get really bad infections in my lobes every time I wore earrings. I decided last week to buy a pair of earrings just to see if my ear holes had closed. Turns out they haven't, and I can now wear earrings again. I feel so girly.

Now I just need to make an appointment to get my legs, eyebrows, and lip waxed. The pain we women go through for our men. I'll probably do my legs a few days before he comes home, but I'm getting my mono-brow and upper lip done this week. So much to do and so little time. I hope I can get everything done in time.
