Then again, June was always good about polishing the silver ... :laugh: Somehow it seems like every time Beaver came into the house she was busily polishing silver.

Hiya BetterMost friends.
Oh, the week is flying by fast.
I hope everyone is doing well, and (if they celebrate) is ready for Passover or Easter.
Tomorrow is an odd day. I'll kinda be working, but kinda be off. I had scheduled the day off, and my coworker (Pamela) is going to have off next week. She's going to Tennessee to visit relatives for Easter. Well, she came in last week and said she found out her niece that she hasn't seen in over 10 years was going to be there as well, arriving on Thursday. So she wanted to know if I would be willing to work from home on Friday, so she could leave Thursday night and get an extra day with her niece. I said I was fine with it, and so was my supervisor. I'll be signed on, but since it's Passover and Good Friday, I think it will be VERY slow, so I will still be able to get some other stuff done around the apartment for Sunday.
Spent more time getting the spring cleaning done, and it's time for the update. Everything that is done is crossed off.
Wash the curtains, clean the blinds, clean the windows, clean and dust all surfaces, remove all 'knick-knacks' from shelves and dust/clean the shelves and knick-knacks, clean oven, clean refrigerator, move furniture to dust and vacuum under and beneath everything, put "carpet fresh" on the carpets and vacuum, scrub out the tub and bathroom, straighten slanted albums hung on wall, get Easter supplies.

Also, what is "straighten slanted albums hung on the wall"? Is it that you use album covers like paintings or posters, as wall decoration? I'm curious, because some of these are pretty big projects -- curtains, for example -- whereas if the albums are crooked, couldn't you just reach out and straighten them any time you notice it? Or is it more complicated than that?

I'm giving out four Easter baskets. One for Trenton, the rest to be shared (mom, dad, and Chris, Trent's mom and dad, and then my brother & sister-in-law). I had to get four Easter baskets, and then all the stuff I was putting in them. Trent has no chocolate, as he can't have dairy. Everyone else got an assortment of chocolates.
As for the albums, I have collected vinyl versions of every Madonna album she's released, and I have them on my living room wall.
These are hanging up over the couch, so I had to wait for the day that I moved the furniture to vacuum and dust behind it, so that I could get out the step ladder and fix the "off-kilter" albums. While it sounds easy, there was a little effort to it. LOL I didn't want to damage the walls in any way, so they are hung up using those Command strips that are advertised on TV by MC Hammer and Tim Gunn. The top two corners of each album have strips of Velcro holding them to the wall. "Like A Virgin" (second from the left, top row) and "Greatest Hits - Vol.2" (second from the right, third row) both left corners had come unstuck, so I had to take them down, put on new Velcro, and then reattach them to the wall.
They are a nice square shape now, but come June of this year, Madonna releases a new album (Madam X) and that will throw my pattern off. :laugh:

I did not. The curtains up there now are "black out" curtains with a special backing to help keep out the sun. I keep the open most of time, but when the hot summer months arrive, when I go to work I undo the ties to let the curtains close, and help keep the apartment cooler.

There's a perverted joke in that line somewhere, but I can't think of one.

Wow, what a productive few days!

Good point. We'll just let readers fill in their own.
To borrow a funny line Jess once used here (in connection with something slightly different but the point being the same), "Oh, so is that what the kids are calling it these days?"

To all Diners who celebrate, Blessed Passover!
