I'm not watching the Grammys. Missed the Golden Globes too. I don't mind the Grammys but I better not miss the Oscars.

Isaac and I made that apple pie-cake. Swapped out 1 cup of the oil for 1 cup buttermilk, so it looks quite cakey at the moment, and smells wonderful. Won't get to try it until we're home from dinner.

Had dinner (roast pork and squash souffle, yum!) and got all my cooked food put away and my fridge is full. Definitely time to stop cooking until I can eat some of this up. And not drowning in dishes that need washing! Still two loads to go through the dryer. My To Do List is oppressing me, but I did actually get a lot done today. There's just so much that needs doing.

Speaking of laundry, if I start a load of permanent press in the morning and leave it in the washer all day and dry it that night, that would probably be okay, right? Wrinkle-wise.

Because we can't do anything (even stressful shit) half-assed, we adopted two puppies during a kitchen renovation.

The house is in chaos, there's a makeshift kitchen in the dining room, pee pads/rawhides/toys strewn all over the floor, and I'm covered in primer.

All in all, I'm holding my shit together fairly well. But I am considering xanax. Does anyone have xanax?

You know I'm a big practitioner of doallthestressatonce,what'sanother. My sympathies. Ride it out.

...and I can't wait to see pictures! And moar stories!

I am weirdly excited for Sarah Bareilles right now. A duet with Carole King! Amazing. Edit: OK, I was not quite as excited as she was, so that's good.

After reading her autobiography, I really feel like I know Carole King, and she is great.

That sounds to me like you have a wonderful life!

PUPPIES!

We had an awesome Grendel cat, so you have my endorsement.

why in my head does nada surf get mixed up with daft punk. like I know nada surf is not the robots, but I keep finding myself wanting to say, they guy from daft punk would something sing at this thing I went to in NYC and NO, no he did not.

Nada surf? I've never even heard of nada surf--should I have? Am I super out of it?

I'm annoyed that the telecast was delayed for the west coast, so I'm just catching up now.

Traditionally the "best new artist" is the one that sinks a person, right?

I'm not sure what the hell Hunter Hayes is singing, but I like a couple of his songs and this is not them.
