meara, don't know if it will be same in Mexico, but neither Netflix nor Hulu allowed me to stream when I was in Paris.

I was not a fan of S3 VM, but YMMV.

ultimately, I didn't care about any of the characters in FNL. I didn't care about the setting or the stakes. I recognize it is a good series, but it is not my bag.

Good enough, just curious.

Glad Zed is making himself at home.

Zen, that sucks.

I haven't done this year's taxes but I did go to Staples for filing supplies and have successfully purged and organized the File Cabinet Of Doom. Nearly 15 years of random ass crap have now been either properly filed or thrown into what DH and I are calling the Giant Bag O' Identity Theft, which will be shredded and then recycled.

It turns out we had a lot of really important papers in there! And now I know where they are!

There were also an embarrassing number of printer test pages and empty envelopes.

I was all proud of myself for doing a load of laundry on the first day of a three-day weekend, but it turned out the dryer is broken. I had already put the detergent on my stuff (I have decided it is a waste to lug the jug up and down the stairs), so I just did it anyway. So now my house is adorned with lots of air-drying socks and underwear. But at least they are clean?

Ha Jessica, I need to do that too. Why do we keep the printer test pages? What wisdom do we hope to glean from them decades in the future?

Do I get points if I throw printer test pages out immediately?

Jesse, I always wanted those drying racks you pull down from the ceiling, like in Victorian kitchens. Not that our current ceiling is anywhere near high enough, but still.

Went to Sara's indoor soccer game, and man, she's so funny. Apparently she's not really supposed to be on the team because it's for nine- and ten-year-olds, and she just turned *eight* at the end of November, but she certainly makes up for it with enthusiasm. We were all cheering her getting the ball and dribbling it away toward the goal, and she must have heard us because she threw a smile and waved like the frigging queen while she was running. Two of the other moms cracked up.

Ooh, that would be good.

Adorable Sara.

No laundry done here, but I just reorganized 3 kitchen cabinets. Why do I have 4 strainers? I'm putting 3 in the garage and if I haven't used them in a couple of months, out they go.

In the process of messing with the cabinets, I really need to wash down ALL my cabinet drawers. I thought I was doing a good job, but looking at them from the floor, not so much.

I have done All The Dishes, changed lightbulbs, emptied a moving box (nope, not unpacked yet) and put a bunch of boxes in my over-closet storage cabinets, paid bills, updated my budget, put away some clothes, and took a nap. I did *not* take advantage of the parade-less day to run errands, alas.

Here's a pull-down-from-the-wall drying rack that I'm wanting: [link] I like the original from Ballard, but the user-created knock-off looks just as useful.
