The only reason there is open tabletop in that picture is so the fat cat can perch/loaf. She kept knocking stuff off, so we learned to leave her a small open space.

Less than two hours to go, then I can go home and get my nap.

And, random Matilda-ism, because there haven't been any for awhile (I didn't actually hear this, Hec did, but since he hasn't yet reported it I will:

Matilda talks in her sleep rather a lot; it's usually unintelligible, but sometimes something slips through loud and clear. Three or four nights ago her mumbling woke Hec up. "Are you awake, honey? Do you need anything?" he asked.

Matilda sighed, in the most sweetly wistful voice imaginable, "Good-bye, little girl." And then, reproachfully, " Bad bunny."

I love that skirt ita. I wish that style worked on me, but it just emphasizes the shortness and the squatness.

If you wanted to partake of the colourblocking tend, that skirt woudl look great with a simple T in royal blue or bright pink. I don't know if that would be too much colour for you.

I am, theoretically, in love with this dress. [link] Practically, it would make me and the baby Jesus cry.

Some of those might appeal to bob bob, ita.

He is welcome to enable me.

I found a white linen cap sleeve blouse and went with that, and the cowboy boots. More laundry is in the machine, and some is off using up a groupon. If I can get one more load in, I've made a not insignificant dent into this crap.

Mos def. I think I can go with muted blues...I have some steel blues I'm thinking of...at this time, and that's about it.

And, lo, this white linen top gives me a chance to try out the new nude bra which is doing it's job of pretending to be invisible. We'll just act like we can't see it, eh?

Dreaming about Clovis, I see.

I was going to clean, starting with the kitchen, but somehow that turned into making soup and making an even bigger mess of the kitchen and then retreating back to the couch.

Today I am cleaning the living rooms. Thus far I have managed the front room aside from the desk which I will de-paperfy after this post. Then I will tackle the back room. I even dusted!!! I never dust.

Mac semi-cleaned his room. Stuff got dumped into bins and clothes were put up, so the floor is clear, but things are not "in their place" and he failed to go through things and fill a bag to get rid of, like I asked. oh well, there is always tomorrow.

We hit Lowe's after church and got some topsoil and potting soil. I hope to plant some pots today and then get out early tomorrow morning and use the topsoil to level out some places in the backyard. I still have more bushes to dig out in the backyard, but my shoulder was hurting from using the grubbing ho yesterday, so I am giving it a day rest.

Maybe I will list some things on ebay also, oh and pack up some things to mail (like the yarn box). I could potentially get a pile of stuff out of my house in the next week. good times.
