Callaluna - what about removeable stickers? (I swear that they exist. At least, I'm pretty sure I've seen them.)

Yes, they do. My BFF gave them out at her son's birthday party.

IME, as soon as a child can hold a crayon and get it to make directed contact with a piece of paper, coloring is fun.

I'm done. One more thing to cross off the list. I'm a perfectionist, so I'll keep thinking, "Well, I should have gotten that" or whatever, but I think by doing anything at all I am doing more than most people do. Most people don't bother to come up with activities for kids at weddings. I've hired two babysitters, and I have a plethora of games and activities on offer, in addition to the gift bags. I've done enough. More than most childless people would ever even think of, I suspect. I'm not going to second guess myself.

Yeah, that sounds like plenty, seriously.

OK, so I've washed the kitchen floor and done some miscellaneous kitchen scrubbing. Next I think I'll deal with paper. I have many piles of paper, most of which I'm sure is trash. Stupid mail.

GO JESSE. I have done none of that, but I am plotting cleaning stuff, for after I come back from errands and brunch.

Oh, now I want to have another wedding so I can have these on top of our cake.

I'm out of big garbage bags, so at some point there will need to be errands, but I do have one clear recycling bag yet, so there you have it. Remember, Lee, I have three hours on you!

I did sleep til 9:30, which was freaking awesome, since I think I was asleep before midnight. It was a damn long week, I tell you what.

Well, I've got most of the apartment cleaned--I just have to do the kitchen floor, shake out the rugs, and possibly take the half-full bag of garbage out to the dumpster, but that can also wait. I do have some things in my car I can clean out, but I'm just reallllly tired and don't want to do much. Mom will be here in a few hours, so I've got plenty of time to Get Stuff Done. So, I'm relaxing by getting caught up here.

The cat got her claws trimmed this morning, and seemed inclined to forgive me for the horrors of stuffing her in the carrier and then being sniffed at by a Yorkie while penned up (I've never heard her hiss like that before!) until I pulled out the vacumn cleaner and started chasing her out of her hiding places.

I just checked my checking account online, and found that one of the $57 charges has been removed, the other is still pending, but another (smaller) charge for a company I'm not familiar with has been added, but without a phone number for me to contact. I'll probably wait to see if it gets zapped before changing status from pending to final, because my credit report looks pretty clean, and I can't do a customer claim on it at the bank until it changes status anyway.

I hope you get it straightened out quickly, Kathy.

DH is off getting new tires on the truck. We had Sonic for lunch and now it's time for naps.
