Laundry running
Cat boxes cleaned
Laundry room cleaned

I didn't even have a to-do list, but I really should...

Clean kitchen
Make dinner
Clean my room
Clean my bathroom
Do my nails

Can you guess what most likely will happen over everything else? And what color should I pick?

They're certainly separate in my house.

I'm so relieved to hear I'm not the only one who does this.

I lost most of the afternoon to a post-hamburger nap, so laundry hanging and working on a personal book for one of my bosses are going to have to wait until tomorrow.

Putting it away is a third and separate task.

Putting it away is a third and separate task.

And the most onerous by far, for me.

And the most onerous by far, for me.

Agreed. It's like filing, but for clothes. What a drag.

I am making Angry Bird cake toppers and I have made 6 red birds, 10 pigs, including one with a crown and two with helmets, and 2 red birds. I have the bomb bird to do next and then I'm DONE. I'm putting them in the freezer until the birthday in September. I used candy clay which is sticky as shit. Maybe fondant would have been better?

I did stuff today, lots of bits of stuff

laundry (not folded)
pulled some weeds
loaded branches I cut last week into trash
cut more branches
ran errands
did one round of varnish stripping on a barstool
started on my nails
shredded a bag of paper

now to watch some more Battlestar (yes I am finally finishing it) and fold laundry, then finish nails.

So I went to London. That was fun. I saw many, many things, most of the museums, visited the Doctor Who Experience, and went to three plays.

ooo, I washed AND folded AND put away laundry! Also cleaned the cat box (can that really be counted? it has to be done every day, it's like putting "brushed my teeth! woo!" on the accomplishment list) and went to the supermarket (twice, in the damned heat, because I fucking forgot something because I was distracted by the chatty old woman standing resolutely in front of the eggs).

And, I finally dyed my hair, so I can stop wearing wide headbands to hide the inch of gray roots.

At least until it grows out and I again neglect to dye it for two weeks past the Telltale Roots expiration date. What the hell. I'm lazy, and I look good in headbands.

shrift! London! I have envy. Did you post photos?

I am at a hotel outside of Toronto. The kids are FINALLY headed to bed, after two false starts, one diaper change and one emergency vomit-related bath. Supposedly I'm on vacation...
