Well, I cleaned up the basement (most of it anyway), today with the help of my brother. We put his big 27" flatscreen tv up on the tv stand, and properly distangled the mass of cables that were lying on the middle of the floor. The place now looks more like I remember it. "Clean".

Aside from the burn holes in the carpet from dropped cigarettes, things look like they did a few years ago.

I also went into the freezer to look for something to heat up for a midnight snack. All I could find were pack, upon pack of bacon. Seriously, 4 packages of bacon. What the hell? Do we really NEED that much bacon at once. Only 3 people live here now. I'm just visiting. in the fridge i found an open pack of bacon and tub upon tub of margerine. Holy! I think there were 4-5 of those.

My mother has obviously forgotten that 2 of us have moved out and she no longer needs to purchase food for all of us. :)

(sigh) Perhaps I'll clean the fridge tomorrow.
