In other, home-related news, we now have one of three ceiling fans installed upstairs. I'm laying on my bed, enjoying the breeze. Our handyman is an old family friend, he's known me since I was 9. Only problem is that he's extremely chatty, and he's driving us all nuts. He'll come back when the other two fans arrive to hook up the girls' bedrooms. I think I'm going to make it a point to have lots and lots of errands to run while he works, heh.
