Accomplished so far today: two rounds of dishes-doing, hallway swept, took Matilda to a Valentine cookie decorating playdate over in megan walker's neighborhood (accomplished, miraculously, with a parking spot half a block away, in the shade [bright sunny neighborhood, bizarrely], with no parking ticket), stove/oven scrubbed down and completely degreased, living room picked up and vacuumed, last of the Christmas stuff returned to storage, entryway vacuumed, kitchen swept and recycling taken out.
Matilda is presently sacked out snoring on the couch, and I've taken a catching-up-on-all-the-threads-and-chowing-down-on-sweet-Maui-onion-kettle-chips break. Next up is either scrubbing out the bathtub or defilthing the kitchen floor. Both sound so fun and tempting, I just can't decide.
For the present, I am going to ignore the twice-Matilda's-weight sacks of laundry yet to be done. I can only move one mountain at a time.

Good god! That's more than some people do in a week! You deserve a break, babe. And a big, big drink.

I vote 'righteous rain to wash the scum off our streets'!
Good god! That's more than some people do in a week!
I don't know whether it was a downside or an upside of the playdate that I got so discontented and irritated with our own place. It was in an apartment not really much larger than ours, but infinitely better laid out (oh bowling alleys, how I hate you), plus the kid's dad is an artist and so everything just
looked
so interesting and balanced and appealing. If I can't redo everything here the way I want to, at least I can make sure the stuff that's here is clean.
You deserve a break, babe. And a big, big drink.
After David and Emmett get back from baseball practice.
Matilda's now up and mildly peeved that I ate all the Maui onion kettle chips, so we may have to go out for a bit. She wants me to wear her meerkat hat on the outing. Fortunately, we'll be going to Haight Street, where mom in a meerkat hat and toddler in a pirate dress (thank you, Amy!) will be merely mildly eccentric rather than Crazy Lady, Someone Call CPS!

Excellent! And hey, I think a pirate dress is in anywhere.
I hate the end of
Pretty in Pink
so fiercely. And yet I watch it every time.
Can somebody explain Google Buzz to me? Is it like Twitter? I've looked at the Google page that's supposed to explain it, and there's all kinds of stuff about how great it is, but nothing about what it actually does.
Has anyone used Ponoko? It strikes me as a weird tool in the kit of the crafty. But I can sort of imagine where it would come in useful. Custom designing tables and shit is no joke. Jilli could have batty everything. I haven't wrapped my head fully around the scope of their offering, but there seems to be a huge range of products generated.
