can I fall into bed now? LOL.

Ta da!

got up at 7:30am
ate breakfast, showered,

called pediatrician for DD2 to see later
took DD2 to swim class (and we were only five minutes late after I went back into house 3 times to get stuff I'd forgotten)
went to grocery store (bought ice cream(s))
ate lunch, fed kids
took DD2 to pediatrician (she ( Read more... )

Last night I took my mom to the Apple store to buy her a new iPhone. The guy who was helping us buy the phone was freaking adorable. He was very personable and chatty. We were talking about being tired and he suggested that we could go to the Brookstone store and "try out" the beds. I asked him if he liked those beds and he said something about ( Read more... )

ETA: I just wanted to say that I'm feeling increasingly dissatisfied with Once Upon a Time.  I feel like Rumplestiltskin isn't as grey as he used to be and where they are going with the women (they are all turning into warriors now?) is a bit disheartening.  I'd like to see some women be strong in a quiet elegant way (the only woman who comes to ( Read more... )

I finally pulled up my big girl panties and made the little quilts into pillow covers!  They are propped up on the side of my sewing machine, so you can see the spool of thread, which might give you a sense of scale:D

( Cushioned sea star and Purple Sea Fan made into pillow covers )

So, I've just come to the conclusion that people are not paying attention.  I just got a very sweet review on ff.net on the fic I posted today and the person said she can't wait to see what happens next.  Um, trouble is, I am a mean old bitch and I have no intention of following up on the awful cliffhanger I left it with ( Read more... )

Because I haven't sorted email in months, I am finally cracking down and deleting/sorting emails. Some of you may find replies to comments you left months ago, actually. I've been saving those too:)

Anyhow, I came across this exchange with dh which totally made me laugh. Back in April the girls and I painted their room. Here is the exchange:

Uh, I'm feeling quite discombulated today.  Probably because it's the last day of school and I'm panicking which is dumb because that makes me *less* productive.  But there you have it.

Tidbit: yesterday I went and got my annual pedicure and there was a woman there with her 12 year old.  Said woman was reading... you guessed it, 50 Shades of Gray.  ( Read more... )

Which 'Once Upon a Time' Character Are You?

I'm slowly working my way through the Remix Redux 2012 Merlin stories.  Go read them.  There are only nine and they are fabulous (so far).  I keep worrying that I'm going to de-anon myself and don't want to comment on any of them because of that!  Seriously, go read them and then come back and tell me which one you think is mine.  Reveals are on ( Read more... )

It's Monday.  I feel like I can't ever get anything done on Mondays.  I did, however, find a book (in my car!) that is due today and not renewable, so that feels like a huge victory.  I got the kitchen cleaned up, started to do a little work in the girls' room, and took the girls out to get DD1 new sneakers.  She was so funny when we got them.  She ( Read more... )
