angelakOH MY GODS.
Tonight was fabulous. I have totally been useful!
The meeting cut out short (all of the sudden) and they finished a whole 30 minutes early, instead of the hour or so late, that I am accustomed to with these PPC meetings.
SOOOOOO. I was stoaked. I drove to Redmond where I know there's a Brown Bear carwash and decided to finish cleaning out my car. After work, as I accidentally, worked through my lunch... (busy busy busy at work today, sheesh.) This is day #2 of accidentally doing this.
Okay, fine whatever. I flex whenever I do this. (oops, did I sleep in and not come in until 7:30?) etc etc. Actually - that was rather intentional.
Moving on. I got off early, at 5 - (I definitely knew I'd better take a break, as the PPC meeting was beginning at 6:30, and typically it takes a bit of set up. (turn on the mics, make sure the projector is working properly, get my cameras in order, make sure the video toaster is all set and not going to bail on me at the last minute or or or or jeah.)
So anyhow, this enabled me to clean out my back hatch in DAYLIGHT (wow) and so that was awesome.
THE OTHER FREAKING AWESOME SURPRISE IS THAT I FOUND MY HIKING BOOTS!!!!!!!!!
Sorry - folks. This is great.
So - this post is jumping around. I'm just so stoaked.
I was able to vacuum Joe out and though I wanted to shampoo the carpets, the shampoo function at Brown Bear at their station was out of order. This bummed me out for a moment, and then I got over it. There's always later, after all. Because my car is NOT going to turn into the slob-hole that it was.
NO.
SOOoooo. I finally got floormats for the car, as the old ones were non-existant.
I got some inexpensive ones that I liked better than the other nicer ones.
I still hate myself for leaving my brand new at the time - floor mats in Black Beauty... what can I say. I had chosen those out just for me (the girl who loves to drive bare-footed, and used to do it ALL year long.)
Whatever. Win some, ya lose some.
At least Black Beauty is still around.
The biggest happiest task of the night about cleaning the car was taking out the whole center console and getting the melted candle out of the little dandy tray.
This was a gross task. But this was the aspect of my car that really kinda made me feel bad.
So the excitement is that it's ENTIRELY clean, the cup-holder/center tray is clean. The back hatch is clean. And I decided I am going to find a way to keep it this way - I have new storage tubs to keep my crap all in one place, instead of sliding all around under my seats and throwing them aimlessly back into the back hatch, causing mayhem.
So I found some tubs at Fred Meyer that were on sale for cheap and I was like YEAY.
I'm very happy with the state of affairs.
Both my house AND my car, are clean at the SAME time.
THIS very much makes my Virgo happy. *smirks*
And this means to all y'all who I told would have to wait until I cleaned out my car to ride in my car: the next time the opportunity arises, that can happen. Cause my car isn't gross anymore!
*beams*
And now to finish the laundry, do the dishes, love my doggies, and ...
*shrugs* Sleep eventually.
It's almost FRIDAY! I am going to have an AWESOME weekend.
You watch me.
-Happy Angela

Clean Joe
Date: 2006-02-10 03:39 pm (UTC)I get so confused when you call it Joe, though! When I first started reading I thought that you had run into Joe as in Netharos and found out he was cleanshaven. I was like... wait. Why would Angela post about that??? OH!! It's her CAR!! d'OH!!!
Re: Clean Joe
Date: 2006-02-10 04:10 pm (UTC)The presence of my car came before I met Netharos. ;)
Sides. Netharos doesn't wear the same "name-tag" that Joe-the-Eclipse does! (license plate.)
I'm actually kind of glad Joe doesn't walk around with a license plate strung around his neck. That would be ... WEIRD.
;)

DOG COLLAR!
Date: 2006-02-10 04:23 pm (UTC)OH GREAT ANGELA.
Can you make my PMS headache go away?
*sighs*
Re: DOG COLLAR!
Date: 2006-02-10 04:47 pm (UTC):X
But I would never do that to you.
YOU are way too awesome for that :P
*hugs* Hope you feel better!!!

Re: DOG COLLAR!
Date: 2006-02-10 06:31 pm (UTC)I don't like traffic though, or having to pee while stuck on the bus or a bus-stop. Water is BAD sometimes! I drank too much of it this morning. Breakfast, though, is a GOOD thing.
YAY! My 100 icons are finally ending in like 15 days. This makes me so happy. 100 is way too many choices for me!
Re: DOG COLLAR!
Date: 2006-02-10 06:36 pm (UTC)I love my 100 icons.
Granted, I think I need to ditch some and get new happier ones.
Fresh start and all.
Some of mine reflect some unhappiness.
:)
YEAY icons. I'd rather have them and not use them, than not have the option. lol.
But then I'm a dork.

DORK NERD
Date: 2006-02-10 06:42 pm (UTC)At least I do today?
Traffic is a BITCH. :X
Re: DORK NERD
Date: 2006-02-10 06:48 pm (UTC)Like the icon, speaking of icons.
TRAFFIC is a bitch.
:X
INNA YOU BITCH. We need to hang out. I am having COMPLETE Inna-withdrawl symtoms.

Re: DORK NERD
Date: 2006-02-10 06:59 pm (UTC)YEAH. That sounds like fun.
SOON!!
Today I have to visit the dentist, though. :X Then have dinner with some people at Aaron's and find out WHAT it was that he found out about his family. He's big into trying to make a family tree and researching about his ancenstors and such. Last night I went to bed around 11 and when I woke up around 3am he was still on the computer typing away all mad-giddy-like. I was like... Wow. I like being here when he does this research. He gets all "OMG! OMG! I have to call dad!"... :) :) :) Yay dorks nerds WHATEVER!!!

Date: 2006-02-10 04:18 pm (UTC)Re: Clean Joe
Date: 2006-02-10 04:48 pm (UTC)It was semi-intentional.
LOL.
I thought about him as I wrote the entry.
I miss that NETHAROS.
He's vanished. I'm sure he's having a good time of it. Of the vanishing. :)
He tends to stay off LJ when he's happy.
So here's to hoping he's happy!!!

Date: 2006-02-10 06:35 pm (UTC)It's more fun to read happy posts anyway.
Of course. I update a billion times a day. And comment even more.
:X
Etc etc etc etc.
lol.

Re: Clean Joe
Date: 2006-02-10 06:38 pm (UTC)Cause I forget things too easily.
Absent minded forgetfulnessssss.

helllz yeah!
Date: 2006-02-10 06:44 pm (UTC)Re: helllz yeah!
Date: 2006-02-10 07:13 pm (UTC)I'm a big fan of that.
:)
I was always a crazy archiving in general. So ja. You've said/done a lot of things that reminded me of me in this regard.

Re: Clean Joe
Date: 2006-02-11 11:00 pm (UTC)Of course, some bad things have happened too, however, I haven't been posting about those either. I suspect part of the reason is that I have this wonderful woman I can confide in, and by the time I would normally post something, I'm always feeling better. Dating a social worker is awesome like that.
I keep thinking about posting an lj entry, and then I never do. It's this strange block that I don't quite fully understand. I really liked your phone call though. =)
Re: Clean Joe
Date: 2006-02-14 06:45 pm (UTC)My ex had a major issue with me posting things here first, rather than talking to him about it.
Oops. I'm just so impulsive that I'd rather run off on my fingers about stuff and then talk to everyone important...
I'm a net-addict and there's no way around it.
:D
hehehe. I'm a fr00t.
Glad you've been happy. And it was fun calling you. cause I miss you. :))) I miss both you and SK :)
