Happiest of birthdays, Plei! (Until the next one, and the one after that, and so forth, but may this one be the happiest so far)

I've de-leafed and partly de-mossed the backyard, taken out the recycling, put a tiny dent in the giant mountain of paper on the kitchen table, cleaned all the counters, fed and amused and read to Matilda, and gotten her down for a nap. And now I'm not really sure what to do with myself. There's a ton of Glee on the Tivo, but I don't want to turn the TV on. Too cold to sit out on the porch, too early for a drink...oh. Oh! She's sure to be out for at least the next hour, and Hec and Emmett won't be back for at least that long. I believe it's time for a midafternoon Lush bath bomb bath.

I hear you. I got up and cleaned this morning, which was a mistake because then I had nothing to do all afternoon. (Why is it all I want to do at work is play on the internets and on weekends I lose interest?) We've walked and stuff, but it is HOT outside, and I don't want to spend any money so I can't go shopping. (Chair hunt notwithstanding, it'll have to wait for the next paycheck regardless.) I made taboule but I can't think of anything to make to go with it. I also went through the cupboards to discard expired stuff and/or things I just know I'm never going to eat. Now what?

Read. Watch a movie. Make some muffins or scones for tomorrow morning.

Give yourself a pedicure. Update an online wishlist.

Heh. I'm already wearing like 14 colors on my nails (I haz the box!). I am going to make some sort of sauce out of the three or four ginormous portobellos I got from the CSA this week. But you reminded my I picked up the dvd of The Outsiders a few weeks ago when it was in the $5 bin somewhere or other. Maybe I'll pull that out.

I helped DH out today by working a military parade sponsored by his work. The bonus, I got to drive a golf cart from the parade site back to the golf course after the parade. I felt like a 10 year old but it was pretty sweet.

mostly I did dishes , run the dishwasher , emptied the dishwasher, did more dishes and made dip. DH did a lot of paper shredding . I am also declogging the drain in the tub. Oh, and I did sweep. Mostly I've poked around on the internet. We have a house concert to night, and I might do a bit more, but I might not

I've swept most of the house. Need to figure out what I'm serving for brunch tomorrow and whether I need to buy anything. Unfortunately I'm having an anxiety attack or something, maybe just overcaffeination? I'm watching the World Cup on Univision and feeling my heart pound.

Brenda, if you can face assembly and, at some point, staining and painting, here's one that's pretty similar.

I have a TV!! I can only watch antenna channels until Comcast comes back out, which will probably be Saturday, but at least I can watch disks until then, and TV IS PRETTY.

How many days does it take before Leverage is up on Netflix?
