Yogurt is a strange thing.
For one thing, the word is strange. Yogurt. YOgurt. If you think about it, it's just an odd combination of letters. Oh what great and profound thoughts I seem to have these days!

penguin pyjamas
First of all, I would like to bemoan a terrible tragedy that has just recently occurred here in my very own house: For Christmas, I received a fabulous pair of pyjamas from La Senza, courtesy of my honey. These pyjamas had penguins all over them and were a lovely blue colour. Very comfy. However, the first time I washed them, the top shrunk. This was especially disturbing because the bottoms were already slightly too big and the top was slightly too small. I do not have a pear body. I have an apple body. Knowing this, I had put the pants in the hot dryer but let the top air-dry. I don't know how it managed to shrink anyway. However, unwilling to give up on my lovely pyjamas, I valiantly wore them to bed anyway. By morning the top had loosened up and they were back to their previous state of soft, wrinkled comfiness. Tragedy averted, right? Not quite. I just washed my pyjamas for the second time, and when I went to put the pants in the dryer, I discovered that several other items of clothing were attached to them. The drawstring had frayed at least 5 inches, and the threads had snarled themselves around my towels and underwear.
I was quite upset. I cut the threads off and then tossed the pyjamas over a chair until I can figure out how to deal with them. The way I see it, I have two options. 1: get a lighter and attempt to not burn my house down in the process of searing the end of the drawstring so that it won't fray further. Or, 2: I could attempt to sew them up. I don't see this option as very viable for a domestically challenged person such as myself.
Oh what to do, what to do.
In other news, I have been cleaning my house out today. I took down my Christmas tree (finally) and vacuumed the living room. I'm about halfway done cleaning out my room. I have two huge garbage bags full of clothing that I don't want anymore, plus some shoes and accessories that have been sitting in my drawers for years and years. I don't understand how I possibly lugged all this junk through 2 moves to Edmonton and back. What a waste of my space and time!
I'm going to try to get my room organized and keep it that way. There must be a way for me to be neater. There must.
Off to VACUUM!!!!
