Yay sarameg! Go you! That is awesome.
 
I am not getting big crazy house stuff done this weekend because the SO decided camping with a stomach bug is not the best idea. But we did just team up for a clean kitchen bonanza, so that`s good.

We also took stuff to Goodwill. Yay.

Wheee sara! I admire your sticktoittiveness. I have been very slack with home stuff lately.

....only 19 spindles to go.

It's more that the STRIPPER slips behind the tape. Which, not so good. Reverse of painting. Masking tape isn't much better. And for the record, I have a newfound HATE of masking tape in general. Plastic gloves + tape are a special kind of hell.

I have accomplished NOTHING. Except a trip to Target and the grocery store, and forgetting to go to the pet store for the SPECIAL food. The cats are disappointed and don't wish to eat the other *perfectly good* cat food. Hmpf.

Yeah, I def had paint tape issues when we were doing the house. The only place where it`s super noticeable is the bedroom, where the walls are grey and the ceiling white. All the other rooms with the exception of a couple accent walls, the ceiling and walls are the same color, because we knew we were doing it and knew our limitations.

Oh, yeah.

I have dinner in the oven, sort of.

After eating horribly for the past month or so, I'm determined to get back into healthy habits so I'm cooking up a ton of veggies from the fridge.

I roasted a spaghetti squash, the contents of which are now in a bowl on the counter. In the oven is cauliflower, red and yellow peppers, zucchini, onion and corn tossed in a sesame marinade. Still waiting to be tackled are a bunch of mushrooms, green beans some tofu and a couple of kohlrabi. Also a big bag of spinach.

The cauliflower mixture will probably be a mean on its own, as well as the basis for some others. I think the mushrooms, green beens and tofu will be a stir-fry, possibly supplemented by the spinach. Have not yet figured a plan for the squash or kohlrabi.

The ends, innards and skins of all of the above are in a pot making broth, along with the dried out remains of most of my garden herbs.

Fucking armed robbery.

Seriously.

My father walked in on armed robbery Thursday, and I find out about it at the tail end of a two hour conversation about porn with my sister. After I tell her goodbye.

Sheeit.

Everything's okay--they didn't take anything from him except his phone. He walked into a jewelry store as it was being robbed, and they took it and put him down on the floor and wrapped up the theft and left. He ended up comforting one of the women there.

AND NO ONE WAS GOING TO TELL ME.

Jebus, ita.
