I heard there was a secret chord
My house is finally clean. I did the whole thing tonight, even though I did the whole thing just before I left for house-sitting, so I wasn't here when pretty much all of this mess was being made. I just can't live in a dirty house. A dirty bathroom, dust bunnies on the floors, a week's worth of dishes in the sink... it's gross, and even though I don't spend a ton of time in my house (and even less in the common areas), I want it to look nice. Clean. Tidy.
Far cry from when I was a teenager, hey? But having it be my house (and having nearly a decade on my high-school self) makes a difference. I want my place to look like adults live here, not college students, not teenagers.
Man, I can't wait to not have roommates. I'm just... so ready. So ready. Even if I end up in grad school, I think it'll be worth it to just suck it up and take out enough extra in loans to have my own apartment. Even just a studio apartment. I don't need anything big; I just need something that's mine. Once I move out of here, I don't want to live with anyone else until I get married. I've had roommates for 6 1/2 years now, and I've lived with more people than anyone should have to, and I'm just done.
Now I'm hungry. I really need to go grocery shopping, since I haven't done that since I got back from house-sitting, either. But I can't do it tonight, and I still need to eat something, so maybe I'll order pizza or something.
Last night, Kat and I went to see Corps Bara's show, Inside Out. It was just amazing. I love dance theatre--I always wish I could do it; that I had that kind of discipline over my body. Even so, though, watching dance always inspires me creatively and, for lack of a better word, is buoyant. That's the best way I can describe what happens to me when I watch dance. So, good night. And then tomorrow night is her birthday dinner with the family, so that'll be fun, too.
Okay, off to scrounge up something to eat.

Hey!! It really can happen--that a formerly messy person can decide they want to live in a clean house! Yaay! What a "redeeming moment" for a mom. Maybe there's hope for some other people I know.
Dad and I had pizza last night, after he got home from church. It was Delissio, and it was good. You should buy one on sale and keep it in your freezer!
Call me about coffee sometime. (How's that--making an appointment to talk with my own daughter!)
Happy Birthday, Kathy!
Glad you have grown up from your formerly-not-so-tidy self,
Mom
