Why I'm not ready yet

Excuses why I'm not ready for Pesach yet:

  1. I've too busy working this week to properly get organized

  2. This year I'm planning on being Tameh for Pesach and only celebrating Pesach Sheini.

  3. I thought it was a leap year... you mean this isn't Adar II?

  4. Oh, the month of Nisan. So that's what people were talking about... I thought there was going to be a new Japanese car dealership soon... It did strike me as odd that people were talking about it in shul so much.

  5. I might not have cleaned my kitchen, but I am this close to figuring out how to blow torch the entire room at once. The only hitch is that I can't figure out how to stop the cabinets from bursting into flame.

  6. I've been too busy getting rid of all the chametz. Like, did you know that whiskey is chametz? Anyhow, after a shot or two of Johnnie Walker Red Label, I'm not good for much else. But on the bright side, I'm almost done with the bottle I have, and there's only about a bottle of open wine left in the fridge.

  7. I've been inhibited by the knowledge that [info]cellio's going to be done before I am, so I haven't bothered trying.

  8. I work best under pressure, and there'll be lots of pressure if I wait until Sunday to start.

In point #8, are you quoting (somewhat) from "Book Report" or is that just a coincidence?

You ROCK!

That's exactly what I had in mind.

If I start cleaning now,
when I'm not really rested,
it could upset my kitchen,
which is not good at all,
I'll get a fresh start tomorrow,
'Cuz Pesach's not 'til Monday
so I'll have all of Sunday
if I wait until then but I should start cleaning now...
But if I start cleaning now
when I'm not really rested,
it could upset my kitchen,
which is no good at all.

HOW CAN THEY EXPECT US TO CLEAN FOR PASSOVER
WITH ANY QUALITY IN JUST THREE DAYS!!

I can't think of how to work macaroons and matzoh in there, though.

First of all, LOL. :-)

I think it's an indication of crazed I am that I temporarily forgot that you were Charlie Brown, so of course you'd recognize that song.

Hmm...

Maybe the macaroons and matzah could be one of the other characters in the song... Is it Lucy who starts recounting all the vegetables in the garden?

There'll be desserts at the seder...
Such as cookies, and matzah
macaroons and chocolate...

And I've got to go out right now and get stuff for Shabbat or I'm really going to be in trouble. That's my excuse for how lousy that part is. :-)

and it was very very very very very very very different from
other nights.

Oh, go ahead and blow-torch the kitchen. Don't worry about the cabinets. My lab (which is full of fine potato starch, but has never contained any chometz) is about to get rid of a dinged and dented cabinet yet perfectly functional cabinet. Just don't burn your fingers.

*laugh* I suppose I shouldn't spoil your fun by telling you that you can sell your chametz rather than personally consuming all of it?

You may as well blow-torch the kitchen. Then replace the cabinets with metal ones so you'll be ready for next year.

[info]cellio would not, given a choice, leave town several days before Pesach and return during chol hamoed. Unfortunately, "leave later" was rejected and "stay away until it's over" just isn't practical...

Well, they were excuses, not good reasons. In truth, I've barely had any of the whiskey, and the wine is almost undrinkable already; it's not worth keeping another week. So I drank a half a cup before writing the list... I have a very poor tolerance for alcohol. :-) I'll probably sell the tiny bit of booze that's left.

Yeah, but I rent, so I don't think they'd appreciate that much. And those soot stains can be a real pain to get off of the fridge...

Nothing a little paint can't cover up. Or, alternatively, "What do you mean, mister landlord? The fridge was that way when I moved in!"

By the way, if you get a chance, someone asked a question about chametz in the comments to this entry that I only partially answered (while waving hands wildly). Can you help?

WHAT?

*looks sidelong at the rather daunting accumulation of chocolate-chip cookie dough* Not to mention the granola.
