Oooh, I found clips!

Score. Now I can watch the pretty while reclining.

I'm here to help!

One of the best Chicago city photos I've ever seen.

Wow, that's cool.

A friend of mine has started something on FB. He posted this as his status:

I’m disgusted with sweeping condemnations about teachers. Rather than add to the negative I’m dedicating my status for a while to the names of those teachers who made a GIGANTIC difference in my life. Thank you [list of names] (to start with a few…)

If you'd like to, feel free to spread it around.

One of the best Chicago city photos I've ever seen.

That is a cool photo. The intersection is considered the heart of Wicker Park. Miriam lives a block away from there.

That's a great idea, aurelia.

I'll be doing what I was doing yesterday: lifting boxes down from their stacks, opening them, lifting objects from within, unwrapping all the paper and bubble wrap, placing object on shelf, stretching inside the cabinet to achieve desired placement, holding stretched position for several seconds while precise placement is made, and doing reps to adjust placement as more objects are added. Lifting, bending, holding (light) weights at arms' length, maintaining stretch pose, relaxing, repeating sequence.

You guys, you guys! H's dragon collection, the individual antique and vintage wine glasses he's collected one at a time over years, and the pysanky (Ukrainian wax-painted Easter eggs) he's crafted over decades are all displayed in the lighted, mirrored section of the breakfront! It looks so fabulous I can't tell you. The breakfront has always been an impressive piece, but it was built before electricity, and before mirrored interiors were customary, so it never had either. Now, though?

The light is an LED fixture so it costs little to run and generates very little heat. But he has been saying all along, "There's no need to keep it on except for visitors or occasions..." Hee! You can see it when you come in from the living room, or from the back door, and he can see it from his chair in the living room. The light only got turned off yesterday when we went to bed. And it was on when I got up this morning. Picture soon, I promise.

What's everybody's plan to be non-sedentary today?

I walked to Staples to return 2 pairs of shoes to Zappos! And later I'll bike over to Dylan's daycare to pick him up. (I may even bike the long way around the park on the way home, if it's not too cold.)

You're just looking for someone to play with who won't lose all the time the way I do, aren't you?

I'm pretty sure I would lose all the time to any of you, but I'm tskared on Word with Friends.

Eta: the Borg are here! And they are efficient. I think the old fence is already gone.

Ugh am lazy today. Am going to walk to bookclub but that's only like a 1/4 mile if that. I will get up and go to yoga early tomorrow morning.
