We went to the just-reopened-after-construction art museum this morning; they were having a family day, so there was a gallery activity pitched right for Casper, and a performance about Picasso, and juice boxes. Then we had a neighbor over this afternoon, and neighbor and Casper didn't really play together but whatever. Also, 3 loads of laundry, dishes, and general cleaning, plus making a shopping list and grocery shopping by mr. flea.

Tomorrow is "patch the plaster ceiling day." Somewhat apprehensive. And I'm making Senate Soup and bread and chocolate zucchini bread (which is adapted from a recipe msbelle sent me like 5 years ago!)

Today was "clean off the DVR day," which seems to be a tradition, and after all that effort I took a nap. Now I will get up, put on clothes, make dinner, and then tidy in preparation for Calli's arrival.

Tomorrow, I dunno. Hopefully cleaning, bill-paying, and paperwork. And then the aforementioned anti-Super Bowl activities.

Love the skirt, Tep!

Warning, dull list of errands to follow: Today I went to pilates, then DH and I bought dog food from the pet warehouse store in the really bad neighborhood, then lunch out. We found a cool baby store and bought baby shower presents for the niece: A Ramones onesie, a tiny Sublime t-shirt and size one pink and white checked Vans.

We bought a bottom sheet at Macy's to replace the one which got a hole this week--yeah, we are the kind of peeps who only have one set of sheets at a time. We have one back-up set, but don't like it as much.

How many sheets do you guys have?

Oh dear lord my linen closet is ridiculous. Like, 5 flannel and 6 regular cotton sets? More or less. I have no idea where that particular mania came from. I'm not allowed to buy more sheets, though.

Weekend plans: kitchen cleaning, cookin' up a mess of greens, maybe watching the Superbowl, maybe mowing the lawn, definitely looking for the small bag of hardware that was supposed to come with my worm bin that I hope is hidden somewhere in my living room rather than completely missing. The usual.

Eta: I love that skirt, Tep. It'll look great with your flamey corset.

I use one set at a time, winter and summer, but I have a couple of others I never use. One I sacrificed to the cat as a sofa slipcover this summer....

I like having 3 sets of sheets: plush micro fiber for winter, 400 thread ct cotton for summer, and then a backup set that's also cotton for laundry issues. But then i was gifted my friend's old matress set for my guest room when they upgraded from double to queen and was also gifted ALL their sheets. At least 5 sets. Maybe more, i haven't fully investigated the box. They had a baby at the time and lots of laundry emergencies, so many backup sets. So now i have LOTS of spare sheets. Should prolly donate them soon, i have no use for that many sheets.

eta: and i have 3 different king size flat sheets for protecting furniture from cats. The cat sheets.

I was planning to buy sheets today, but haven't yet. I think it's time for food. And then maybe a massage. Or a movie. And I might buy a soda maker if I can find one.

We have 2 sets of regular cotton sheets and 1 set of t-shirt material sheets. The t-shirt sheets tend to get used only in the summer, because they sort of "stick" to whatever one wears to bed, which means that rolling over results in a MASSIVE stealing of the sheets. In the summer, when one tends to sleep in less clothing, it's not a problem. Or, it's like the sheets ARE your jammies!

Good thing I sleep alone, because flannel sheets + flannel jammies means every time I roll over, all of the sheets come with me! It's like I'm a felt board.

Yeah, I have to choose between my flannel sheets or nightgown, because I hate feeling stuck in my own bedclothes.
