You can do that with Play-Doh?

You CAN eat it, but you probably wouldn't want to.

As a friend of mine says, if there was a food that tasted as good as play-doh smells, you'd have a nifty dessert.

Play-Doh never lasted that long - It dried out too quickly - and the colors were never the same after the first time playing with them because you HAVE to mix colors!

Jessica, how far along are you in the unpacking?

Jessica, how far along are you in the unpacking?

Just far enough that I don't want to do anymore. We've unpacked everything we need to live, and so the only motivation I really have for going any further is that we're having 20 people over Sunday night for the Oscar party.

Major pieces of furniture we're still missing are a bed (queen-sized box springs wouldn't fit up the stairs, so we're getting a platform bed delivered tomorrow night), a dresser, and a kitchen table (both of which will probably be IKEA purchases, unless we find something at this second-hand place I just found out about in Astoria. We also need a filing cabinet, and more bookshelves.

I have silly putty right now. It was a giveaway during a multi-day training course. Great idea. Stopped me from doodling or trying to work out ways to get on the web. Hands busy, brain slightly busy, eyes forward.

Now I want a coloring book.

The realtor has been and gone. Paperwork is done, pictures have been taken. House goes on the market Friday, unless the giant snow monster shuts everything down.

Oh boy, do I ever hear you. I'm exactly there. And I need to unpack a bunch of stuff and not put it away, because it ended up easier to move it than weed it, but I want to weed it before it ends up put away where it WON'T get weeded.

I can actually dedicate a room (two if necessary) to this project, but I'm still not looking forward to it. I was supposed to get this done before I moved this time around, but I never had the space in my old place to have everything out and accessible, and I didn't have the patience to keep unpacking and packing stuff.

Did you not have the dresser and kitchen table before, or did they not make it up the stairs?

I hate the unpacking. The fastest and hardest I ever worked in my life might have been unpacking this house. I took the bandaid approach.

Steph, that is SO freaky! Your boss is in my thoughts and prayers. Eek!

I want you all to know that I took my first exam of the semester today. This is important to note because I DID NOT GET A MIGRAINE! The last two semesters, each time I had an exam, I had a migraine. BUT NOT TODAY! I really am learning to handle stress better.

Plus I had a good meeting with my advisor about the big project. I've got some work to do to make it work, but it should work out.

Also, CALLING HEC! I've got news for you. Where the hell are you? Are you working? 'Cause if you are, you should stop that...

Also, I have no idea why there are so many ASSCAPS in this post. Please accept my apologies.

All right, Anne! You deserve a coloring book!

Or, you know, whatever else you might want.
