I should buy stock in the Rubbermaid company

First off, stocks... I finished the test on stocks, and I SORT OF understand that crap. Enough to know that I could get into the stock market a little bit... like sticking my toes in the lake to check the temperature... not gonna just run off the dock and jump in like a lunatic.

Second, I have been kicking butt today on my spring cleaning. I have filled 6 Rubbermaid tubs... you know, those ginormous suckers!? I haven't even been downstairs yet, or in the kids' rooms. This is just from the kitchen, dining, bathroom and my room...oh, and the 2 hall closets and part of the front door closet.

Not to mention the ton of burnable stuff I am taking out to Mom and Dave's tomorrow to torch and be rid of. I also took the Kia in this morning for an oil change, and JP's truck has a similar appointment tomorrow morning.

I am going to have to get more tubs. I love them. And they fill up so quickly.
I did really good, too, when going through my closet. I didn't think I had that many pairs of shoes... turns out I just couldn't find them, so I'd buy more. 4 prs of black dress shoes, but in my defense, it was one pair of high heel/slinky, one pair of high heel/sensible and 2 pr of flats... I gave up the one pair of flats that I love the least. Same with the brown shoes...only kept one pair of heels and one pr of flats. My summer sandals, I had to part with 3 pair, and I was still left with 3 pair! I also have 3 pr of white tennis shoes... well, 4 if you count the ones I keep out in the sun porch for lawn mowing. They used to be white, but they're green now. Holy crap, just call me Imelda! And I thought my mother was bad!

I also found the beautiful pair of cowboy boots I bought last August, and have never worn. I put them on while I was walking around the house, I have to break them in, because I will wear them to WE Fest this August. They are just gorgeous, and best thing, they make my feet look TINY! They do hurt a bit, that's why I have to get them broke in. I figure I will wear them all week around the house, and after that, I will wear them if Gina and I go out on a Friday night "For a drink or two" again.

Anyway, the cleaning portion of the day is done, now I am on to the homework portion (can't you tell?) I am trying to write a speech. I dread writing this the most of all the homework I have left, so I am forcing myself to get it done before I go on to the "fun" homework. Besides, it's due before the other stuff is.

I have to bowl tonight, too. Can't wait to see how my thumb does with the new reamed hole in my ball.

Wow, I have procrastinated a whole hour away here, and that speech isn't gonna write itself (dammit) so I have to do this NOW!
