went to the grocery store this morning to pick up some chicken for tonight’s meal. Then I grabbed some boxes to ship our ebay stuff in. Now I’m contemplating making something for myself for lunch, or should I just eat cereal? Chances are I won’t decide and I’ll end up not eating lunch.

Today I need to vacuum, so I guess I’ll get that out of the way when I’m done here. Then I suppose I’ll watch General Hospital and wait for Mark to come home. He’s gone on a recruiting trip. He left early this morning and he’ll be back late this afternoon. Tonight I’ll fix dinner for us and then we need to sort through some stuff we want to put on ebay. Other than that, that’s our night.

I should write though. I seem to write better when the lap top is either outside on the screened-in porch, or when it’s in my bedroom. But I don’t think I want to go outside today, it’s only like 73 degrees, which is awesome, but it’s so humid. You start dripping the moment you go outside. Unreal. So I’ve got the ceiling fans running inside because it also gets a little sticky and stuffy inside when it’s that humid outside.

I think I’ll procrastinate that vacuuming and play with some memes:

This one is from Homework:

Do you have a codified housework schedule, or do you fly by the seat of your pants? If you have a schedule, how is it organized? Room by room? Chore by chore? Do members of your household rotate chores on a regular basis?

I have a schedule, like I do with everyhting in my life. It’s organized by the day of the week- – each day has a certain thing. I am the only one that does it, though Mark does empty the dishwasher. During the summer I do my “spring cleaning” and designate a room a week till the whole house is done.

This one is from The Wednesday Mind Hump:

Today is also National Blueberry Cheesecake day. As a warm up, using the letters B-L-U-E-B-E-R-R-Y reveal some interesting facts about you.

B-I really have brown hair
L-I love blueberries actually
U-I wear my undies in order
E-I have his extra tendon in my right thumb
B-the name Bethanie is a cross between Beth and Stephanie – since my parents couldn’t make up their minds.
E-I rode on an elephant in a zoo once
R-I’ve been drag racing once
R-I was raised Roman Catholic
Y-My kitchen is yellow

01. You are battery operated – what are you? What size batteries do you require and how many?

I want to be a fairy princes doll that grants wishes to people with a wave of my wand.

02. Ohmigosh! You’re on the cover of the National Inquirer (or other trash magazine)! What is the headline? Give us an except for the inside story?

Bethanie breaks up Ashton and Demi! Ashton Kutcher has dumped Demi in favor of Bethanie!

03. If you could be ANY sex symbol (living or dead) who would it be and why? What question do you think you’d most get asked?

I suppose I’m supposed to be a girl, but I would love to be James Dean – I think people would ask him about his sexually the most – my answer, “Who cares?!?”

04. You are lighter than air, you float. C’mon, introduce yourself – what are you?

I want to be fairy dust. I glitter and float through the air.

05. Your blog just won an award for being the best. What is it for? You’ve also been given an “award” for being the worst. What is it for.

The best would be for just being honest and nice. The worst would be for unimaginative stuff. Once I get things how I like them I never wanna change.

Extra credit hump: In honor of National Blueberry Cheesecake Day, what’s the most creative use for a blueberry you can conjure up?

I’m gonna be clean because I adore blueberries. I just got a mail order catalog the other day that had blueberry mustard and blueberry salsa in it – that’s pretty creative.

This is from What’s On…Right Now?:

What’s On your ‘favorite summertime snacks’ list Right Now?

Blueberries, strawberries, Oreos, cereal, bagels, iced tea!

Ok, enough procrastinating – off the vacuum!
