Ms. & Mr. PW's House of Procrastination

Come on in and check out the procrastinators pad.  I didn't clean up because I knew you would be dropping by and I want you to feel totally comfortable here. 

Here's our home. It has a big pine tree in the front yard.  From the driveway, you can see the road we live on.

The 2-car garage is home for our vehicles.  Mine is the GEO, aka "the eggplant."  His is the red Toyota pickup. Don't hate us because we are fuel efficient!

If we come in through the garage door, we will first find ourselves in the kitchen.  Here's some more kitchen clutter....the cabinet where we keep our dishes and the convection oven on top.  Here is our coffee & tea center.  Its also where we keep the red wines and the glasses.  Help yourself!  If you get hungry, there are all sorts of munchies in the cabinets.  Here's the microwave and some appliances.  Baking stuff and pasta are in the cabinet above.  This is our refrigerator.  It is loaded-down with all manner of healthy and unhealthy yummies.  Here is a peek inside our freezer, where you will find some frozen delicacies I have made for future meals, breads, veggies & fruit and cold mugs for beer.  And the beer is in the fridge along with the white wine and all the rest of my healthy food-choices. 

This is the catch-all room where my laundry usually gets sorted before being cleaned in the laundry room.  We also do our recycling in here. 

So this is technically the living room, but we call it the workroom because that's what we do in here unless entertaining dinner guests more formally.  Lately, its been the massage room.  Cliff lives in here.  He's our ball python of 18 yrs. 

Behind the workroom is what technically used to be the formal dining area, but we have transformed it into the gym.  Another angle.   

In the corner here, is where Briana eats.  Next to the apothecary cabinet.

Just behind us it the hallway leading to the other rooms.  First one on the left, what used to be a bedroom is now our cozy living room.  This is where we eat and watch tv, when its just us. 

Between the LR and the office is the "guest" bathroom.  It leads us to the office, the closet in which Mr.PW keeps his clothes, sometimes.  Sometimes the clothes don't actually make it into the closet. That's another one of Briana's beds in the corner.

Across the hall is the master bedroom, where we sleep.  Apparently there is a lion in the bed right now.  This is the corner where I shed my skin getting into bed.  A view of the entertainment center housed in the closet, for our viewing pleasure in bed.  Oh, and after Briana is exiled from the bed at night, she usually sleeps in her little corner under her ficus. 

A view of the master bath-vanity from the BR entry, and a side view from the hallway entry.  The yellow bathroom.  In case you are wondering, that is a custom-made squatting platform for healthier bowel-evacuation.  Mr.PW made it himself.  Oh, and that's a banana peel, remnant from my midnight snack.  It has a shower too with a nice, big bathtub. 

Oh, here's an interesting corner of out workroom.  A made the table and the flying saucer.  Its where we keep the scales... the analog and the digital.  I don't like either of them. 

Here is our lovely screened-in back porch, and the other side.  A view from outside, in the backyard.  The backyard, the shop, the other end of the backyard. 

So, feel free to make yourself at home!  Leave your ill-intentions at the end of the driveway lest they be stripped from you.  This is where we live our lives, Mr. PW & I.  We are very much in love and take our lives seriously, we also are very good at providing a place for procrastination, or rather, I am.  He works a lot.  But when he's home, he procrastinates just as well as I do.  

So you can lift some weights or get on the treadmill while getting your Jeaopardy on, then take a nice long bath in the master suite, have a healthy salad for lunch or something not so healthy but well-prepared, curl up on the sofa watching the Tivo and take a nap.  Or you can go out int he backyard and play with Briana.  If you give her a Greenie she'll love you forever.  If you feel inspired to clean, I can handle that.  I don't get the 'inspiration' as much as I get the 'compulsion' to do it, but only if its no longer bearable. Or you can just procrastinate doing any of it. 

Hang out w/Mr. PW and blow up some Nazis on the PS2 or do some yoga with me, play with Briana out in the yard or just lay around on the couch and watch tv or surf the net.  Whateva!  Just as long as you are procrastinating.  If you chose to do something constructive, it must be in an affort to avoid doing something else.  That is the house rule. 

That said, have fun!

Well, I am apparently in the office, typing this.  Mr. PW is in the BR blowing up Nazis on the PS2, still in his robe.  We are procrastinating showers.  I decided that I had putt off getting this discussion going long-enough.  So here it is.  Besides, I feel like some of you should know the manner in which we live around here.  He works a lot, but when he's not, he procrastinates.  I just put off the things I don;t enjoy doing in lieu of doing things I prefer to do until I am up against a deadline, we run our of clean socks & undies or clean dishes.  Then I get up and do something about it. 

I managed to brush my teeth today.  I fed Briana.  But that's about it.  Oh, I managed to eat 2 installments of T-day leftovers, and I took a nap.  I'm about to get up from here and go lay down on the couch and watch tv. 

Ooooo that's a GREAT idea, mspEw!!  I think I'm gonna make one of these too... just need to take some pictures.  I'll have to do THAT tomorrow during the day though (when there's natural light)  because for some reason the flash on my camera isn't working  :/

anywho... thanks for showin' us your house.  it's nice :)

if you need me, I'll be in the back yard playing fetch with briana so that I don't have to hem hubsters pants   <---see?? I followed the rules  ;)

AWESOME!  Hang out & put the hemming off as along as you like.  There might be a little Absolut in the freezer, around the Halloween candy.

Sure is lonely in here.  Maybe it wasn't such a good idea, moodster.  Crap!  Well, I like my house! :P

I like your house too  :D

actually.... I don't think it was a bad idea.  I've been meaning to take pictures, but I can't get my camera to work right.  even WITH the natural light.... the pictres keep coming out black  :/

I guess I can use my web-cam though... the only bad thing about THAT, is that I don't know how to take off the time stamp thingy  :/   every picture gets stamped and i don't really like that

Ms PW I came for a visit, stole all your booze and buried it in the back yard 22 paces from the little red cottage...the direction and depth is a mystery cuz I sampled the stolen hooch and can't remember these trifles.

You have WAYYYYYY too much time on your hands, took me forever to get through the tour.

Yep the beer....found it, pinched it, drank it.

The new fangled toilet made me giggle, you have a crap-in-the-box! Made me wonder what pops out when you lift the lid.

Now I gotta poop.............

See ya!

Yea, I did have way too much time on my hands.  Well, the time hasn't actually changed, but the priority has.  I am doing more around the house lately.  Taking less prescription meds and feeling better.  The fog is finally lifting.

The little joker who pops outta the poop box is a real prankster.  Beware!  He likes to surprise you.  Sick little f****r!

As for the beer, well you & A can fight over it.  I'm off the stuff, except weekends.  I have got to lose some weight! 

Glad y'all could make it.  Gotta go grocery shopping now.  Please don't let Briana into the gym.  She peed on the floor night before last and has since been exiled. 

*comes into mspEw's house*

I thinks I wanna work out today...

*goes to gym area and gets distracted by briana*

Oh, hi girl!! you wanna play?

*goes to back yard to play with briana*

on a different note...

I think i got the camera working properly...  :D

off to take some pictures  :D

**please note.... I haven't cleaned anything (although it's not bad) but still... I haven't cleaned anything

Yea, I took these pics on a day when the house was particularly messy, just to show the reality of my life.  Though, its much cleaner now. 

I kinda suck at Jeopardy, but I watch that show every day, regardless.  Got a new wine, a Voignier.  Its a varietal I'm not familiar with.  From the way its described, it sounds like a fairly dry white, like a Sauvignon Blanc with some creamy-oakiness characteristics, like a Chardonnay.  Can't wait to try it. 

UPS guy just came and brought me another package... mystery.  I didn't order anything.  *puts box to ear*  Its not ticking. 

Its another 33 pound bag of dog food!  Did Briana order another bag while I was away?  *checks bank account*  Nope, no additional charges.  The order numbers are the same, different intials signed-off on 'em.  Huh.  Whadda ya know.  Someone actually made a mistake in my favor for a change.  I guess all the money paid to AT&T and Vonage because of their employees' errors in the last year has come back around full-circle.  Kewl!  I just hope it doesn't spoil.  The second bag is vacuum sealed.  I have 66 pounds of dog food.  She doesn't even weigh that much!  And its only about 1/2-1/3 of what I feed her. 

Well, thanks, to whomever screwed-up. 

Every time there is a Merry Ho Ho screw-up a walmart implodes.

I better not say anything lest I be considered a national security risk. 

I was good.  I worked-out, the best I could.  I did half of an aerobics video, which came to about 20 mins of aerobics, after the warmup, then another 20 mins of some pretty intensive yoga.  I will be sore tomorrow.  Pretty sure of that.  I had a snack of lowfat cottage cheese (113 g) with a banana, about the same wt.  I have a stir-fry planned for dinner consisting of tofu, broccoli, carrots, celery, baby bokchoy and some garlic greens.  It will be in a mushroom-base with a little miso, ginger & garlic, thickened with corn starch.  A can have some rice with it.  I made white basmati for him.  The stirfry is about 450 cals.  I had a salad for lunch of about 400 cals.  I had a half-bagel with lowfat cream cheese and a cuppa joe with my usual stevia & half & half.  After its all said & done I am still 260+ cals short of my target for the day, 1600.  According to my burn meter, after my exercise, I will have burned 2150. 

So, that leaves me some room for white wine.  Yipee!
