I've managed to have a somewhat productive morning--farmer's market and safeway, done three loads of laundry (not put away yet though), tried that exercise thing I've heard so much about, and a tiny bit of work stuff.

Now though, I think it's shower/lunch/TV time before I dive into the cleaning and work stuff again.

Given my relatively small amout of stuff, my unpacking philosophy is to do it all ASAP. Like, everything out of boxes on the second day. But I would have had no idea if a box had gone missing.

I made the borscht, which is more like beet-cucumber soup, since I forgot I didn't have as many beets as the recipe called for, and I had plenty of everything else. And I forgot to wear gloves, so my hands are a little stained pink. And THEN I had a snack of zucchini, for which I feel I deserve a medal.

We just labelled every box.

Ok, I need to motivate to clean. Someone is stopping by to pick up my old Nat'l Geos at some point.

In completely shallow news, have we discussed Jon Stewart's new facial hair?

I am a beard lover, but I think it takes away from his awesome expressions.

OK, I have packed some more, and I have inventoried. No spreadsheet, just a list with a general idea of what's in each box. 30 boxes. Ten of them are entirely books, and a few more are books mixed in with other stuff. Seven are kitchen stuff, and there will be at least two or three more of that. I have also used several rolls of bubble wrap, a bunch of towels, quite a few layers of cardboard, and an entire roll of tape to pack up the glass doors of my bookcase.

I should have had more detail on the spreadsheet about what was in each box. I have been lost on where to find some things.

I did find the nail polish though. Currently vexing me are the dry-erase pens. NO IDEA where they got packed.

He looks like the devil. A funny angry little devil-man.

You spreadsheet-making people astound me. I'd like to be that organized, but I can't imagine it happening.

I just unpack very quickly so I don't need the spreadsheet.

I think Jon Stewart seems more bitter and less funny with the beard.

Has anyone been watching Haven? Eric Balfour's face seems to have gotten even longer. Like, it looks as long a two faces. I find it very distracting.

Not as distracting as he was shirtless.

Sophia, I have been watching b/c it was shot in a town about an hour away from me, where my friends live. {(IT has nwo moved to another town, because local businesses complain that the shoots taking up the streets were losing them business.) I think the acting is pretty terrible, especially the female lead.
