It's never ok to share pics of other people's kids without permission. Nope nope nope.

I need to find some time to watch SNL tonight before the debate. I have watched the Crucible Cast Party sketch approximately a billion times, but none of the political bits.

I have no idea why it bothers me so much that mac said I am lazy and just sit on my ass all the time. I am sure I said the same about my parents. (not needing hairpats). still, as if to justify my existence to myself through lists; this weekend:

3 loads of laundry
picked up bedroom
changed sheets
cooked (2)
washed dishes (2)
swept kitchen & living room
half cleaned bathroom
took out recycling from kitchen
bought groceries
put away groceries
got mail
cleaned cat litter
fed pets

That's a lot more than me, msbelle!

This weekend I...went dancing and then to karaoke; had a headache all day Saturday but managed to make some quinoa salad and then went to goodwill where I bought nothing and totally forgot to bring the clothes I was going to donate. Today I had brunch with a friend, and went to a different goodwill and still bought nothing. ....oh, and one load of laundry.

Yeah, that's also way more than me. I got out of the way while the house was shown, I got a haircut, and this morning I went grocery shopping. I had planned to do laundry tonight, but nooooo.

Old mattress set now in the basement until I can get a hauler. Oddly, it was the boxspring that was easiest. A neighbor helped with the floppy unwieldy mattress. And I made a list of things I still want done before the parents arrive. Complicated by the fact this is marathon weekend, so I won't be going anywhere not walkable on Saturday until late. At least the list involves a lot of laundry?

More than I did, too. I chilled Saturday and watched a couple of movies; today I did some work and I did clean a little bit - and did some laundry. (Well, re-did; I threw it in a few days ago and sort of forgot. Oops.)

I have more work work to do, and I have a serious case of the don't wannas. I'm at the, "If I go to bed early, I can get up early..." point of my rationalization. We'll see how it goes.

Also, hi, sj! And yes, sharing pictures of other people's kids without permission is not on.

Rebecca moves in...

Today I went for a run, then visited Dad, set up a tab for him at the diner around the corner, and then went to CVS, BevMo, and the natural foods store to buy supplies for the annual fruitcake. And then I took a nap, so not a lot of production.

Now I have to run around the corner and buy some milk, change the sheets, set the fruit up to soak in brandy overnight, and then I think I'm going to skip the debate and go see The Queen of Katwe because Lupita N'yongo will make me feel better than Trump does.

Actual debate bingo card. I'm psyched. And tempted to play more than one card, in honor of my grandmother.

I had a very Mom weekend - yesterday I took the kids shopping for their Scouting uniforms, and today I put together a set of bunk beds. (I almost got D a violin for orchestra on top of everything, but the store was closed.)
