Cut some up for dust rags. And ditto what everyone else suggested. Old towels are good for messes because you can just toss them if the mess is too yetchy.

Allyson, offer them sugar.

Laundry done. I need to clean now. And iron because for some stupid reason, my pants got all twisted up and now need ironing. Bah. I'll vacuum first, so I don't end up having to defur the pants too (my ironing board sits 5 inches off the floor. )

Jesse, how sad are the old towels? Homeless shelters can usually use towels that aren't on their last legs.

Also animal shelters.

I watched the Bears actually win a game and had fun watching my cat chew on the ribbon she pulled from the tree. Is that an accomplishment-filled day?

The Chicago Bears? A football game? Aw crap it must be the apocalypse.

They finally managed to win two games in a row, for the first time this season! And, best of all, Devin Hester got two touchdowns, one as an offensive player and one on a return.

Heh. That means the Saints lost.

I read a really depressing article about the crap that Chicago fans gave New Orleans fans at the playoff game last year. All kinds of Katrina-related stuff.

The ones I'm going to get rid of are on their last legs. I can't even remember when I got them. Trash they are! I don't have that much storage space that I'm going to keep them for cleaning.

I was up and ready to go to church when mac put himself back in bed because he did not feel good. An hour later (during which I paid bills and went through a paper pile) and some kid's ibu and he felt good enough to try to sneak in 2 videos when I said 1 AND lie to me. then tantrum. we made it to lunch with the brother/uncle - then some playground time and buying new car seat. now back home. he is watching the video he tried to watch before and I am letting out the hem in two pairs of his pants.

I need to cook some tonight for the coming week, but I can do more of that tomorrow.

life

now I am off to watch the cowboys. mac is going to be introduced to the wonders that are Pee Wee Herman via my computer.

laters for more terribly exciting details of our day.

Have been working through the TiVo backup, and I've just recently dragged my ass into the shower. Doing laundry, and cleaned the kitchen floor. There's supposed to be a snowstorm tonight, so we're hunkering down...
