It has been all go here at Casa de Magnetobold.
Mad preparations for TWO, count ‘em, TWO birthday parties on October 31. Also known as HALLOWEEN!
MWAAAAAA HAAAAA HAAAAA!
And Friday signals the start of birthday week with my Daddy’s birthday, with cake.
Monday is Moo’s birthday, with cake.
Tuesday is Boo’s birthday, with cake AND 40 cupcakes for school.
And then TWO cakes for the parties.
And cupcakes.
AND half have to be gluten free.
So what does any rational person do before a week of baking and party preparations?
Well she calls a contractor to fix the hole in the wall, the steam cleaner to clean the carpets and makes a 14 page list of things to CLEAN…
I am aware that there are only 13 on the wall,
the other one was FINISHED so I took it down, BOOYAH!
Cause I have a death wish. And an insatiable need to make ‘cleaning workstations’…
And speaking of death. For the last 3 days I have had a tradie (tradesperson) here to fix the hole in the wall that happened on a Tuesday, and the whole world knows how much I hate Tuesdays, cause Tuesday means a whole lotta shit is gunna rain down in Sanskrit. Don’t be googling that, just take my word for it K?
So if you clicked on that link you would have seen my awesome handy person skillz, well Boo added his own little flair…
Death Hole – appeared Tuesday May 12 ‘09 DO NOT OPEN
Don’tcha just love the ‘appeared’ like he was all ‘I mean it like totally just APPEARED out of nowhere! There should be a LAW!’
Bastard child.
But it was rather entertaining passing that sign on the way to the loo.
I would be all stage whisper and jazz hands ‘Death Hole!‘
I will miss it.
But at least I can cross that bitch off my list.

Death Hole conjures up far too many images that I am loath to share. They also include jazz hands.

Oh, dear lord! Those to do sheets taped to the wall?! That right there made me tingly in places that feel good when they’re tingly! You’re a woman after my heart!! Plus you make cake?! Marry me?
Lists are the best! I love to make them just to cross things off! Goodbye Death Hole. RIP

Farken hell, and I thought I was obsessive. You put me to shame.
Death Hole, brilliant.
Nikki aka Widdle Shamrock´s last blog ..No John Denver, life on the farm is NOT kinda laid back
Dude, 14 pages? That’s insane. INSANE. I like the way you took the time to print them all out, too. I would have just scrawled them over shopper dockets…

You weren’t satisfied with just one stroke, superwoman? You have to set impossible demands upon yourself and court another? STOP IT.

Ya know…when you run outta dunny paper you’ve got 14 pages you can use….;)
Jayne´s last blog ..Daylesford tour
is that TINY paper or very BIG paperclips?
Jodieodie´s last blog ..weathering the storm
A cleaning list? A list for cleaning? I just pull down the blinds, turn off half the lights and then I can’t see the dirt….
OMG I love you. People have been telling me for years that my list making obsession (which I also tape to the wall) is “weird”. I love you so much right now.

Gluten free cupcakes – I am in, I’ll even help with the cleaning… maybe. I hate vacuuming though – just saying.
Death hole – is that where the death ray shoots from?
Deidre´s last blog ..Yesterday was just…odd.
Wow, life in Mexico is different. There’s no giving food to school-friends around here, because Mustafa’s mum doesn’t want him eating ham, Priya’s mum had a heart attack about the corned beef, and the PB will kill Bill. And that means I don’t need to make cup-cakes!
Does vodka make an appearance anywhere on those lists?
Chookie´s last blog ..How to Get Rid of Cabbage White Caterpillars
aw, your death hole APPEARED on my birthday!
Good bye death hole…
also, the image of you doing jazz hands to death hole made me smile.
How come every line of the last 13 pages say “Refer to page 1″?
Happy birthdays…my daughters is Sunday and my sons is on Halloween…
VE´s last blog ..I HATE Traffic
I am not sure what one has to do to deserve a death hole… I just know I have had them in the past and I am sure again in the future.
Happy Birthday Moo and Boo!
Krissa´s last blog ..WE’RE BACK! in the damn hospital.
And you really plan to get that all done AND do the cakes and cupcakes?? You are my HERO, woman! Happy Birthday to everyone!
