The agenda for today

[lance_sibley]

I had planned a busy day:

1. Buy groceries.


2. Clean kitchen.


3. Clean bathroom.


4. Clean living room.


5. Do laundry.


6. Check with superintendent about getting a storage locker downstairs, and if one was available, move all the crap that's in my dining room down there.


7. Clean dining room.

Actually accomplished:

1. Went to Starbucks.


2. Took my coffee to Indigo, where I browsed through this month's Advocate. (What did they do to it? Ugh.)


3. Bought groceries.


4. Read half of front section of today's Globe and Mail. (Enjoyed sense of schadenfreude at Stephen Harper giving in and initiating a probe into the Mulroney/Schreiber affair.)


5. Started to clean kitchen.


6. Went back out to replenish cleaning supplies. Picked up sponges, Vim Oxy-Gel and rubber gloves to replace the ones that had disintegrated. (Are sponges an endangered species? All I could find in three stores were the little itty-bitty ones you use for washing dishes.)


7. Cleaned kitchen. (That Vim Oxy-Gel is amazing stuff.)


8. Didn't notice it was 6pm, and missed Blood Ties. :(

Now, with all that said... my kitchen is nearly spotless. Sure, it could use another going-over with the mop to pick up a little bit of gunk that just got pushed around instead of picked up, but I don't think it's been this clean since I moved in here ten years ago. (Wow, I just realized, this month is my ten-year anniversary in this apartment...)

Problem is, spending an hour on my hands and knees scrubbing the kitchen floor with a stiff brush has left me with no energy for anything else on my list. The second problem is, with my kitchen floor still damp, I can't make dinner yet, and I'm starving... maybe I should order in Chinese. I wonder if The Goof delivers to this neighbourhood.

Oh, and seen via ozreison:

Is It Christmas?

Ken said that Stephen Harper may be having an affair with Condi Rice. Is this true? Has it been in the media?

I hadn't heard that one - there was a rumour several months ago that she and Peter MacKay, our Minister of Defense, were having an affair. I don't think it was ever officially denied (though they both laughed it off, as I recall), but if you Google "peter mackay condeleeza rice affair" you get over 600 hits. (Here's (http://www.canada.com/topics/news/national/story.html?id=dba22abe-afd8-4775-ac50-fba00c4657ec&k=19212) a news story from last year about it. This is a legitimate news site, FYI... they're associated with Global TV, which is one of our major networks.) If you replace MacKay's name with Harper's, every hit (on the first page, anyway) is about affairs of state, not the other kind.

If Harper were having an affair, it would probably rock the country. He's one of those stick-up-the-ass types of conservatives - he was probably a hall monitor in grade school.

You could probably get paid a lot of money to do that if you'd switch professions....
