The Slacker and the Attention Whore

Yesterday I was bemoaning my lot in life as it relates to not getting anything done.  In fact, I was so sloth-like before the window guy got here that I totally forgot about the vase filled with long dead flowers that was sitting on the dining room table. 

The door bell rang and I stood there, staring at the metabolically challenged posies and did what any other slacker would do.  I grabbed the vase and ran into the loo, placed them in the bathtub, closed the shower curtain and then attempted to compose myself whilst running at breakneck speed down the stairs to answer the door.  Mercifully I didn't trip going down the stairs and maim myself in the process. 

Once the window guy left I plopped my big ass down in comfy chair and remembered the flowers were still in the tub.

Of course, when I went to grab a trash bin liner to dump them into I discovered we were all out of liners.  Great.  So I walked into the loo and just stood there and stared at the flowers and decided I'd call the hubby and ask him to stop and pick up bin liners on his way home from work. Until then, the flowers weren't exactly going anywhere.

And what's a post about my slackitude without photos? 

And here we have the attention whore.  Seriously.  You crack open a camera and once he hears the shutter he comes running, all 18lbs of fur and fluff, and places himself between me and the viewfinder. 

I wish I were adept enough with PhotoShop to airbrush out Griffy's "Eyes of Laura Mars."   It annoys the crap out of me. 

And if all this weren't proof enough of what a total and complete slacker I am, have a gander at the kitchen.  This is how part of it has looked since Christmas.  Lovely eh?  NOT!

I don't know who the joker was that convinced me into getting stainless appliances for the kitchen but that stuff is a pain in the ass to keep clean.  So what do we do?  We go and order a stainless stove and dishwasher.   Oh wait, I was the masochist that decided I wanted all stainless appliances.  I never learn.

Hopefully by May 15th the kitchen will be repainted, granite counters in, and new flooring installed/laid.  I'm hoping that the 7 cabinets that are going to have glass panels will be in by then as well, but I'm not holding my breath.  After all, I have my slacker status to maintain!
