Diary of a Bad Housewife
She's got Mia Farrow Eyes
Been spending every waking moment trying to prepare our house for showing to prospectivee buyers and every sleeping moment dreaming about it. No doubt...I suck at this house cleaning, neat and clean thing. Especially the neat. And I'm sure that all the anal suburbanites that come thru will hurl at the sign of any dust bunnies or scuff marks! I sooooo don't belong here!
I am starting to have that glazed look sported by the young Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby....
On a more positive note, I am finding all kinds of cool stuff stashed in the attic and other treasure spots.
When I learn [from my children!] how to post pix I'll document my treasures here.

The Kitschen TableClearly still trying to get the hang of blogging...not exactly a quick study. Today is a beautiful day here along the Erie Canal.The temp is mild and the sun has that thin feel of fall. Lots of flowers are going to seed. I am packaging as many as I can in clearly labeled envelopes to bring with me if we do move.Looking toward the future and the beauty and excitement spring will hold. The cleome self seeded like crazy this year. And my beloved Strawberry Fields Gomphrena that I was told would not reseed, did! This is now one of my favorite flowers. The red heads truly look like strawberries nestled among the leaves in the garden...and they dry beautifully. I will continue to collect and plant Nigella even tho they require constant dead heading...they are worth it. And my gorgeous nicotiana that are now 3 feet tall will come with me,too. And how could I ever forget my convulvlous...a morning glory look alike that has given me thousands of flowers for 6 years at the cost of 1 pack of seeds. Tonight is the grade school welcome back picnic. I am on dessert duty. Sorry....had to buy my stuff this year. A huge pile of mini chocolate chip cookies, chocolate donut holes surrounded by 300 Kisses... should be a hit...homemade or not.Kids don't seem to care.
Well, back to the trying- to -get- ready -for -a -move grind.
Peace...on this day...and always..

The Kitschen TableMornig becomes electric
ahhhhh. The return of school. On this second day of school, I was confronted by my 15 year olds tinny clock radio that preceeds HER waking up by a good 20 minutes. Then my morning is saved by the sputter of the automatic coffee machine...hot java...ahhh. I fire up the toaster oven to make a pizza bagel for Maggie and then a liitle tv time before heading to the bus. Then a little computer time as I check my blogs and see what everyone is up to. Electric morning ...what's the buzz...tell me whats a happenin!

The Kitschen Table: "Kitschen"
The weekend was mostly spent bitchin' and pitchin' as we are still trying to get our over loaded house on de market! Another load of crap hit the curb on Thursday night. It was hard to dump the blonde tv cabinet that I grabbed from the curb myself about 12 years ago but it had a little mildew problem and c'mon....12 years is a long time to stash it....ditto for the veneer peeling deco stool that smelled just a liitle too moldy and a funky chair that I never even liked. I think we are now a regular stop for my fellow garbage pickers. There "is a certain symetry to that" [ala Big Chill dialogue] I have found the coolest stuff that I had almost forgotten that I had stashed....vintage purses...one box purse with decoupaged mushrooms from the 70's...an awesome bracelet[ a weakness] with fake coral beads, a
cache of vintage tins. And I scored 8 circa 1940 and 1960 art magazines at our library's sale shelf. $.25 each!! Its ok...a little junk can come in as long as alot goes out!
