I found two notes today! They were all adressed to me! Imagine that.
How exciting, to get messages left for me in my home!
But sadly enough, I couldn't decipher the meaning of any of them... :(
Observe..

I was so excited to find this peice of paper taped to my bathroom mirror, until I noticed that it was in fact addressed to two people. How unprofessional! I was very impressed, though, by the extremely aesthetically pleasing layout of the letter. Beautiful! I was so pleased to see that the writer actually knew our names, too! It's as if he or she wrote our names over and over with the growing affection in his or her heart... If you cannot see clearly enough, the first line says "Mitch and Haley" (underlined very heavily). It is apparent that the writer of this note wanted both Mitch and Haley (not just one or the other) to read this message. Vital Information for both Mitch and Haley would be contained in the following words. The first paragraph (or is it stanza? could I be so lucky to have a poem taped to my mirror???) reads, "Mitch -take garbage downstairs and up to the curb every wednesday." Notice the inscription at the top right corner. "When needed." This threw me for a loop, because I couldn't decide whether the writer meant for Mitch to only take the garbage downstairs when needed but take it to the curb every Wednesday regardless or to only take it downstairs and to the curb when needed. Whatever.
The second portion was addressed to me! It said "Haley-Unload dishes when clean and reload dishwasher." Easy enough. I'll get to it as soon as I'm threw reading my message!!!
The third stanza said, "Mitch and Haley- Every week - Decide who will clean your bathroom (clean tub, toilet, sink, mirror, sweep out floor, and mop)." OH MY! I don't think we've decided on a bathroom cleaner this week, but I know just the person for the job. Of coarse, my stepmother would be delighted to do that for us! I'll ask her as soon as she gets home. Or perhaps I'll right it down on a peice of paper and put it on her wine bottle. I know she'll find it there. Anyway, the third stanza was addressed to Mitch and Haley. It said "Wash your towels on HOT water once a week. (One of you should do both of your towels each week and the other should do them the next week.)" Ok now I'm very confused. Is the writer mad at me? Why did he or she shout the word "hot?" And how should one person do the towels the next week if the other does them "each week?" And for that matter, why would one person do both peoples' towels? What I should decide to only wash the towels that I use? What if I decide to only wash my own towels, and then decide to never use a towel again, just drip dry after my shower? Perhaps it would wreck havoc in the writer's life. Later I found yet another letter right above the dishwasher!

It says, "The dishes in the DW are clean. Someone please unload and reload. MITCH take the trash down." Huh? I was quite sure that the writer of the last note asked me personally to do the dishes, but the writer of this note seems to feel that anyone can do them. And why did this writer shout the word "Mitch?" Perhaps they, too, are mad. Well, I suppose the only way to make both people happy is do the dishes. Dish nazis.
