Cleaning for Charlotte
>> Thursday, March 13, 2008
I don't even know why. Charlotte is going to be here tomorrow, so I've been picking up, doing extra vacuuming, and mopping. Thing is, I don't go to this 'trouble' for adult visitors. . . people who might actually notice and care about disorder and germs.
She's not a crawling baby, and she's never been too bad about putting things in her mouth. And in her opinion, the more dog toys left scattered around, the better.
But for some reason, I want things cleaner when she's gonna be here, and I've gotta go now so I can fold laundry. I hope somehow, some day she appreciates this.

" Há poucos dias, durante a homilia da missa dominical na igreja de uma freguesia rural das cercanias, o padre falou aos seus paroquianos sobre as próximas eleições para a Assembleia Constituinte. Lançou mão da parábola para melhor se fazer compreender e disse-lhes:
-"Meus caros irmãos em Cristo: suponhamos que um de vós é dono de uma vaca leiteira; se ganhar o socialismo, fica o irmão com a vaca, mas tem que dar o leite a esse partido; se ganhar o comunismo, fica sem a vaca e sem o leite..." "
