In the process of trying to make my life easier I have done the following things:

1. Hired a housekeeper to come once a month

2. Signed up for milk delivery

The monthly housekeeper is minimal. Life is too short to spend the majority of my time (and most precious energy) scrubbing floors and showers and dusting. The Milk delivery is free aside from what you pay for the milk. We did it in Denver and it was a godsend. I can’t tell you how many times we’ve had to “run out for milk”. Pain the ass. There’s something very old school about milk delivery too, which I love.

Taylor brought all of her cheer ensembles over yesterday and I literally squeezed into the stuff. It is hilarious. I only wish we had a costume party to go to so I could run around, cause trouble and cheer randomly. The one year I have a hilarious costume there is no party. (Wait, that’s not true, one year (1999) me, Claire and Bec went as headbangers from New Jersey and that might be my all time favorite costume. It was non stop comedy if I do say so myself. We all had Jersey names and talked with accents all night. Em V videotaped the whole thing. We named the tape “I am No Whore” because we kept saying that in a Jersy accent) I have a picture somewhere. It’s insane.

Saw the movie In Her Shoes yesterday. I liked it. Sure, the story is spoon fed to you but I gladly let someone feed me for 2 hours as I gobbled popcorn and drank my slurpee. Speaking of my Slurpee, which is a great word by the way…I ordered a small. In my head I’m picturing 6, maybe 8 ounces of cherry slurpee goodness. She comes walking towards me with literally a bucket. “Oh, I ordered a small.” I say almost pushing the tub of slurpee away. “Yeah, I know. This is it.” she says.

I’m not kidding you the thing was 32 ounces. What the fuck am I going to do with 32 ounces of Slurpee? That is enough for 4 people to have one 8 ounce slurpee. No wonder Americans are obese. I felt guilty when I tossed it after the flick having only had about 5 ounces of the thing.

Casa de Provost is still plagued by whatever bug is going around. Lots of snot and coughing. Nice. I’m delighted today is Friday although I’m dreading the Halloween party tomorrow.

Excuse me, I have to go make 50 cupcakes for the little urchins to decorate at the party.
