Monday: Watch matt buy new computer bag - and then take a tour because it was all made in the US. Visit Seattle's library and find the red floor. On the drive to the airport , remember that today is our actual anniversary. fly home ,pet cat, eat pizza. no champagne or strawberries.

msbelle, those are brilliant!

My weekend felt very much like just a bit too much. Friday work, then a concert at the kids' daycare, then home. Can't remember dinner, so it was probably cheap take-out. Yep, cheap take-out plus The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Saturday I did housework, picked up ita and took her to the pharmacy and then home. Then I ran errands with Franny while Isaac napped. Then a party for my AngeLingo editors in the evening which meant the kids got to play with friends until the v. v. late hour of 9:30 pm. Then home to bed.

Sunday I lay out contact paper in shelving, realized there wasn't enough, moped when I realized that the kitchen work wouldn't be finished that day anyway, then graded most of the afternoon. Then it was out to dinner, and back home to grade some more.

Okay, I am just now finishing my work for the day. What is wrong with this picture? (Admittedly I didn't technically start till around 5 PM, Arizona time. This is what life is like working for ourselves.)

Still, I feel like I got a lot accomplished, both for work and for the house (bought tile! did math to calculate paintable surface areas! decided on paint colors! set up a website for our new project! sent email to the board regarding banking issues!)

So now I'm tired, but hopefully the day was productive and the week will be, too. Painting starting next Wednesday! Work team for tiling scheduled in for the 27th!

We won't be in by Christmas, but we should be in mid January if all goes well.

Whee! I'm always cheered by hearing the news about Impending House.

I woke up WITHOUT a sinus headache, so the day is already a big win.

I hate it when I fall asleep on the couch early in the evening, and then wake up at 3:00 am, unable to fall back asleep. Good thing is that I'm off today so I can head down to my dad's and pick up some stuff he got from his sister. I'm going to wait until after rush hour to see if they manage to clean the freezing rain off the roads.

This is a fun cat vs. dog video for your morning amusement!

Watching the news, I now realize why I was getting freaking-out messages from my coworker who is coming here to Indy this morning -- it's already 40 degrees here, so no ice! But apparently ice everywhere else.

All the people in the huge swatch of map that shows ice, stay home! Drink hot cocoa. Watch DVDs. Be safe.

Last weekend. Friday, work, Saturday, work, Sunday, work. Blah. Back to work now....

We didn't have an ice storm overnight -- but we had a pretty impressive Frost Event, as in a sparkly coat of rime over everything -- shiny windshields, glittering blades of grass. A pain to have to scrape off, but pretty in its way.

I was a little bit sick over the weekend, and I didn't sleep much, so last night I went to bed good and early at 9:00pm, so I could get a full night's rest.

So then I got a call at 2:30am this morning from work; I had to dial in and reboot a server.

ION, Greek yogurt is yummy.
