I'm watching too much BBC America, I'm starting to use British expressions and speak with an accent.
I have always loved England, British things, history, so now having British television is becoming addictive. Of course the majority of the shows I'm watching are the decorating and garden shows- and a couple of the fashion type shows, but I can sit for hours and watch them.
Which of course is not condusive to unpacking and organizing. I forget I should be working and sit and gawk at the tube.
I should think that I'd be feeling more inspired to pull this place together seeing my friend Cathy has announced that she's stopping by one day next week. She's on vacation and has never been to any of my apartments (I've known her for 11 years), mostly because the one where I was living when we first met was too far away, and then the one I just moved out of was always too much of a mess to have her see.She is one of those anal people who is always neat, organized and uncluttered. A real minimalist - all the things that I'm not.
Not that this place isn't a mess, but I figure I still have that "I've just moved and am still unpacking" excuse. I believe that the statute of limitations on that is about a year. So I'm good.
But I would like to be in a bit better shape than I am now when she comes over.
I really need to work like a Trojan today, the evening is shot seeing I have to go to my brother's for a family barbecue.
Onward - and out to the garage for the dolly and a few more boxes.
