Dude, catching close to the limit totally counts!

Love the shades, sarameg.

Was that a recipe, or something you improvised?

There are recipes with it, but it never got glossy and stiff enough. Also I think it will taste disgusting. But we'll see!

Not sure about productivity here. I'm stuck in a tech rehearsal all day. Almost to dinner break.

I slept in. Then I had some breakfast. Then I read a book. Them I took a nap. So far, no productivity at all!

I am tired. I will also attest that a boy and a girl, even one who doesn't talk louder than a whisper, is much louder than children should be.

We drove to Anaheim, picked up my niece who is participating in the indentured servitude program at Disney, went to Gardena to the Japanese grocery store, then went to Long Beach, but avoiding the Grand Prix, for fish tacos, then the beach then back to Anaheim. The home.

The twins collected shells including a beautiful nautilus. I bought a $1.29 indoor basketball hoop for Noah and Grace which is now hanging off their bunkbed. I bought a galloon of soy sauce.

But, Grace played in the sand. [link] She looks pretty happy there, doesn't she?

Thanks, -t! I love the light, but in summers, I really need to block some of it to keep things cooler (windows face due west.) But I didn't want to block all the light and I didn't want to see the covering when not in use. This accomplishes it. Plus, a nice plummy color suits the room. IKEA finally made them available online, as my store didn't carry them.

Heehee. Yep, that's a happy Grace.

That sounds like a great day, Kat. Glad you had some time with the niece.

Grace looks ridiculously happy. Also very old.

Just got back from Matilda's soccer game and a trip to my office to dump all the culled paperwork in the shredding bin. The streets right now are packed with smelly miscreants - it's the annual 4/20 Smoke-In or Smoke-Out or whatever the hell it is; all I know is that there's no parking (Hec has our car, but we got a ride back from a teammate's parents and I had to show them a secret metered alley behind the UCSF dental building because the potheads had taken all the street parking with their stupid SUVs and Suburbans), and Matilda and I had to wade through a sea of pasty suburban bros and unkempt neohippies stinkin' up the block and scattering Bud Light cans and Doritos bags all over everything.

I need a martini. Which is possibly a wee bit hypocritical of me, but damn it, if the martini drinkers had a drink-in in Golden Gate Park we'd be a whole lot prettier and less smelly, and we wouldn't be dropping our used cocktail shakers all over the sidewalk either.
