Miz Grinch

Hello all. It's Miz Grinch again. I mentioned on Facebook that I never got around to my spring cleaning. The comments ranged from, "I never do it" to "I've been doing it forever and it never amounts to anything" to everything in between.

I just finished, JUST finished, spring cleaning my car. I broke out the Armor-all wipes, the leather wipes, had the car seats and booster seats out, scrubbed and wiped and Windexed and everything. Pepe the Pilot had just been to the Honda dealer to have a tow package installed (so we can cart bikes around as soon as we get a bike rack) and they washed his outside. Now he's squeaky clean on the inside as well. I had probably three grocery bags worth of garbage and the equivalent of a junior Frosty decorating Pepe's insides. I am a mess. I am hot, sticky, sandy, and my hair is sticking out like a magic dandelion. I'm sure I even am coated in donut crumbs as well, thanks to my wonderful husband and our many treks to Duck Donuts at the Outer Banks, which I know I haven't blogged about yet. Yoi!

All that to say this: since I just finished spring cleaning my CAR, which is much much smaller than our house, and since I haven't gotten to our HOUSE and we've been here and there and everywhere, and it's not showing any signs of slowing down, Christmas is cancelled. (Sorry, Mommee, for that incredible run-on sentence. I have no idea how you'd diagram that one...) Yes, we've decided.

Christmas IN JULY has been cancelled this year because 1) the house, as I've mentioned, is nowhere near ready and 2) we are running out of July. We'll be out of town next weekend and then the very last weekend of July we still won't be here, probably because we'll be coming back. ;) So, so sorry to anyone who was holding out hope of Lori's cheesecake and icicle lights in tents and sangria and Triskal fawning all over everyone and camping out in the yard... we just don't have the energy to do it this year. Sorry all!

I know. I can't believe I just cancelled Christmas.

But my car is clean now. Yippppppppiiiiiiiiiiiie!
