The trick to getting anywhere in DC is to try to go someplace else.
Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

God that is so true. At least from NoVa. I used to miss the Key Bridge exit and end up on the Road to Nowhere (Turkey Run maybe?). Ugh.
On my to do list today?
Take Noah to the doctor
Make mushroom barley soup
Make cauli au gratin
Go to Mommy and Me Yoga
Hang a bracket in the bathroom
Stop at a close donation box
Watch Ocean's 13, which I just rented at the grocery store.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If that doesn't count as Doing Things - especially the first two - then I am even lazier than I thought.
That was like five minutes of Things.
I am about to put bread in the oven, AND I recreated my "love and heartbreak" playlist (favorite!), so I'm not totally unaccomplished for the day. And when the bread comes out of the oven, I may even go to the library.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am going to try and not get a migraine before tomorrow's massage. It's a tall goal, but I hope to achieve it nonetheless.
Thanks for the thumbs up on the portrait thing. I hope there's a point at which it becomes easier, but I am learning lots about my camera. I've been clicking through other people's attempts, and there's some really good shit on Flickr. Damn.

Showing off my low standards of "clean," maybe....

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I've spent the morning trying not to vomit. Fortunately DH has been incredible and took over the (usually mine) early-morning baby duties AND did laundry and is now out with the boy running errands.
Between the cold I had last week and this stomach thing now, I've been sick for my entire holiday break. Bleargh.
Eating nothing but bananas, saltines, tea and ginger ale...I feel like I'm pregnant again. (And no, no chance of that.)

I need to go for groceries. But it's snowing. Again. This winter stuff sucks.
All I've done today is go to the mall early and return my holiday returns. Which is something. But since it's a 4 minute walk to the mall, and I wanted coffee anyway...
I should probably take down my tree, since it's so dry that even looking at it makes it shed more needles.

Ugh-- that sounds like a whole lot of no-fun.

I love how this article sums up Aztec characteristics:
a warlike and religious people who built monumental works and are credited with inventing chocolate
Nifty article, about even older ruins found in Mexico City. This could push the age of the city back to 1100 or 1200.
I need to sit down and read up about Aztecs, Incans, and the Maya. I know I have a bunch of stuff mixed up in my head, and a bunch of holes besides that.
Jessica, hopefully you'll be better for the turnover of the year.
