hello and happy wet ass Thursday, folks (okay - actually, when i say "wet ass" i don't "technically" mean a wet buttock or donkey or whatever...) it's effing raining like a banshee here - this just doesn't help me when i have a convertible that needs to air itself out (it's not stinky, Phooka just likes to have his top down on at least a weekly basis.)
anyway... i am bloody tired - i've set myself (actually gigglechickinteractive.com) up on the quickbooks and am getting frigging organized (i still need to do my taxes before sunday. glargh.) but on quickbooks they have this thing where you can plunk in how many hours you've spent on something or some client (i think it's called... how you say? a timesheet?) so, i listed 9 of my clients that i do work for on a daily basis and figured out the amount of hours i've spent working on their stuff since JUST this past monday.
61 hours and 45 minutes. and I am not even done with today.
i really need to become addicted to speed or something - of course, i've heard about it, but know nothing - hell, i've never even seen coke in my lifetime (which i am proud of. and i am speaking about cocaine) hardest drug i am on right now is dunkin donuts coffee and an immodium chaser.
so - going back to the 61+ hours spent on stuff... i am in NO way complaining. believe me. I am fine and happy with being busy (in fact, just got word today that I got a new client... will let you in on the name soon - after I finish updating his site... it's not a total redesign at this point - just a maintenance/updating thing right now and then we'll see if i can't get my design mitts on the rest of the site and gigglechickit up.)
on the homefront (which is also the workfront technically) the place is a mess - i've not had time in the past - eh - year... to clean. and i am dying to do the spring cleaning thing - alas, no time. oh suuuuure, y'all may say "hire a cleaning lady" --- not yet. gotta peel about 7 layers of grime off the place before i let anyone in here. but i was listening to a friend of mine the other day telling me that she washed her sheets in lavender and cleaned her house and all that... and i was jealous - what the hell's that about? i was jealous of a clean house. (for those of you who have been around my blog for a long time you may remember photos of my messy room and my former apartment in JC back in the day... my house now makes those photos look like something out of martha stewart LIVING. it's not pretty. i am going to try - in my free time (what's that?) to gather shite together and maybe try to do a yard sale... of course, the condos don't allow yard sales... but other places in here have had 'em
rambling aren't i? where is everyone? i know the place has had tumbleweeds blowing through the blog lately - sorry about that... i stink - and i need to update the open mic section too... i've been focusing on all other sites and stuff but mine. (especially my company site. cripes)
what else? oh - i launched a site last week (still working on sections) for a comedian named jane condon (janecondon.com) so go visit her and if you are on myspace add her as a friend.
okay okay well, i guess i am going to have to add this into quickbooks as Gigglechick Novel in the timesheet.
Whatchoosayin'?? (2 yapped)
I feel your pain about a clean house! However, since I haven't worked since november I have no excuse! Yes I planned a wedding but my lovely husband who works for the humane society is always bringing animals home thus creating lots of extra work! We have two dogs, one cat,one pig, five iguanas, three turtles, and countless fish. Don't get me wrong, we love our babies but I need a real job! Would love to help u clean your house. Better than iguana poo! Good luck on those taxes!

GC,
If I lived any closer than Michigan I would come to visit for a long weekend and get you all organized and cleaned up... but alas, I am not. Sadly, I get wound up over reorganizing and am famous for my collection of cleaning products. In fact my newlywed self is in the process of demanding that the basement get repainted, with new shelves built, and the CRAP gets thrown out. And it is happening. Call it nesting, I call it an efficient use of space. ;)
