ARGH, Marcus' mom is going to be here the day after tomorrow and I haven't made a dent in my housecleaning! (So, why the hell are you sitting at your computer?) I just got home from work and am reading my email and decided I needed to post about a possibly disturbing development about our accident.

An Aurora police officer has been trying to contact me for the last three days and I keep missing him. Apparently there is some sort of "ongoing investigation" into the whole "alleged incident". Marcus talked to the officer this afternoon and, while he can't say anything until their investigation is complete, he gave Marcus the impression that the story has changed from the guy that hit us. If he wasn't the victim of an attempted carjacking, I'm going to be super pissed off, especially since I've been in pain for more than a week because of the accident. I hope they finish the investigation soon because I want to know! I guess the good news is that if he didn't cause the accident because of a "moment of peril," Marcus should be able to collect the deductable from the guys' insurance company. Hmmm......

So, the great house cleanup is underway. My neck cooperated long enough yesterday to get half the living room carpet cleaned. I'm taking a break from working on the other half (I'm waiting for some water to boil). Figures I'm going to have to stop to go to work in an hour or so. I hate it when having to go to work interferes with my industrious moods.

Cold Stone Creamery is having the World's Largest Ice Cream Social on Thursday, July 29th from 5 - 8 p.m. They did a segment about in on WB2 News this morning. The cake they're having sounds good. I might go--depends on the size of the crowd. That place is always really busy.

Oops, water's boiling. Gotta go.

Current mood: perplexed
So, sometime this week I'm going to switch to either Wordpress or ExpressionEngine, I haven't decided which yet. I am so sick of having to rebuild the whole dang site when I delete a spam comment. Along with the switch, I want a new blog name. "LaDonnaBlog" is just so unimaginitive and uncreative for an artistic, crafty chick like me. Problem is, I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING! Marcus keeps suggesting "The Blog of Continuous Woe". LOL Since I'm trying to change my outlook on everything (I'll probably still falter once in a while), that name is totally inappropriate. Well, maybe some kind of inspiration will hit me at work today.

Marcus' mom is coming to visit this weekend. I'm going to be busting my butt to get the house cleaned this week. Hopefully, my neck will continue to get better and I can get that accomplished.

The craft shelf is not quite done. I desperately needed a nap when I got home from work (3+ hours). Then Marcus wanted me to go to a couple of stores with him. We had yet another crappy dining experience at Atlanta Bread Company (they're permanently on our boycott list). I told Marcus that, from now on, if we were wanting bread soup bowls, we're driving the extra distance to Panera Bread. After we got home, I did some research on Wordpress plugins. While doing this, I watched The 4400, The Dead Zone, South Park, and a Making of South Park special. Then it was 11:30 (where did the time go?!) and I needed to get Marcus to bed.

Well, I guess I should stop procrastinating and get to work.

Current mood: crafty
Well, awhile back I bought this unfinished shelf at Hobby Lobby on which to put some of my craft/sewing related figurines. It has taken me forever to get it done. Every time I start working on it, something else comes up. Well, I decided it was going to be the main focus during this school break and the good news is that I will probably finish it today. I'm so psyched. Pictures will follow!
