please, for your own safety, do not try this at home....

i am in the process of implementing a high-level tactical maneuver: tri-floor laundering. yes, yes...i know what you're thinking. it's amazing. yes...i know. but i'm remaining humble, just fyi. i thought that would make you feel better:)

in other news, i'm heading down to montgomery county in a few hours to retrieve sammie joy from her last day on the job at the company of death. then, we will be supping and cinematically bonding with some friends from church in g'burg. tomorrow, my parents will be in town for a late lunch to celebrate sj's new job, and then in the evening, michael and i will dine and visit with friends. sunday will bring much of the same, and then the week begins all over again. i'm gonna need a rest after this is all over:)

last night, i made some couscous with a curried yogurt dressing. i don't mean to be obnoxious here, but it was quite yums. i've made a mental note to save this particular recipe for when i open my cafe some day....a girl can dream, can't she?

and, just for kicks, here's my take on today's edition of the friday five:

1. what was the last TV show you watched? that would have to be my half-hearted attempt at paying attention to the last 20 minutes of survivor last night. other than that, oprah.

2. what was the last thing you complained about and what was the problem? probably my toe hurting. last thursday night, in an exercising frenzy, i kicked a free weight lying on the floor and cracked my toenail, which bled immediately. it's been threatening to fall off for days but isn't man enough to make the break. punk.

3. who was the last person you complimented and what did you say? definitely michael. and who knows what it was? it could have been anything. 'how do i love thee?....'

4. what was the last thing you threw away? junk mail and other papers that were clogging up the desktop. i can't think straight when my workspace isn't tidy...hence the reason i'm rarely clear-minded!

5. what was the last website (besides this one) that you visited? yahoo mail. i'm a slave to e-communication. sad, but true.
