under pressure

this weekend is "parent" weekend. not mine, but his. handyman's parents (mamalane & papatom) are coming to visit saturday and stay the nite. i am looking forward to it because i do like them both. plus, i get dinner at rudy & paco's! YUM! their menu is to die for.

back to the pressure part. yes, i've been in my apartment for one year at the end of this month. no, not every box is unpacked....with good reason. when i was moving, Sk-Ian thot he would play He-Man and jump off the back of the truck with my office cabinet in his hands. big mistake. of course, as soon as he landed, the cabinet landed on the ground and into pieces. this is where the unpacked boxed stuff should have gone. i never replaced it because i couldn't find one i really liked that would fit all my stuff. i went looking, at ikea, a few weeks ago (cuz that's where i got the first one), but nothing quite met my standards. two and half hours at that frikkin store and NOTHING!

anyways, i unpacked about three of the boxes and just put the stuff on a small bookshelf i have. presentable enough. the other stuff is going in a closet. handyman will take care of that friday. he doesn't know it yet, but he will. knowing i was fretting about my place looking "presentable" to his parents, he offered to buy me a new comforter/sheet set. how nice is my boyfriend??? as of now, i have matching sheets but no comforter. i have a makeshift wanna be comforter type thing that lil' bit didn't want anymore and grandma blankets along with blankets acquired over the years. so, after searching and searching for sheets, i decided on a "bed in a bag" from target. not as vibrant as it looked online, but again "presentable" enough. i like it and it will go on the bed.

tonite, i'm going to attempt to sweep and mop (i'm not a big mopper). i say attempt, because i know how lazy i get after work. hell, who am i kidding, i know how lazy i am all the time. plus, we didn't get to walk last nite because it was raining so we're going to try tonite. also, i need to get this ugly vanity thing out of my bedroom and into the closet. note to self: make room in closet. after this is done, i'll windex and pledge everything down. that may be tomorrow. all the while, doing laundry as well. i'm ALWAYS frikkin' doing laundry. i think i need to buy more clothes. or maybe it just looks like i'm always doing it cuz it's "right there" for me to see all the time.

by saturday afternoon, my place will be "PRESENTABLE"! let's see how long it lasts.
