Archives for 2008
Yesterday…
- I made my mountain of clean laundry into a molehill.
- Rebecca lost her ballet shoes and did not go to ballet. I cannot find them, and have a feeling they are in the Bloom parking lot. Or were. A week ago. Bloom said they did not have any ballet shoes in their lost and found, so I think they are long gone. Rebecca will have to pay for her new ballet shoes.
- I lost a flashlight while I was looking for the shoes. Then I found two other flashlights. Then I finally found the flashlight that I lost. I know where Rebecca gets her losing gene from.
Yesterday…
- I went to a blast media company and felt their grits. I’m still holding out for a personal visit to a place in New Jersey at Easter; hopefully they will have the mineral emery in a 120/240 grit in quantities smaller than 2,000 pounds.
- I had a pounding headache in the evening because the weather was changing, so I took Tylenol and Advil and went to bed.
Yesterday…
- I took Rebecca to the store and got new ballet shoes. I am so glad that this pair came with the elastics already sewn.
- I had a Caesar salad for dinner.
- I washed all of Madeline’s stuffed animals and soft toys.
Yesterday…
- Jess came over and we needlefelted a poppy and a hedgehog each. We also walked the dog. But there was lots and lots of needlefelting.
- Rebecca threw one heck of a tantrum and Matthew carried the television out to the shed. The kids asked “Can we watch TV?” a few too many times this weekend. Not cool. Hello, peace and quiet.
- The mailman brought a box of felt. Yay, felt!
Yesterday…
- Matthew made basil chicken for dinner; I fed some of the mild batch to Madeline and she yummed it up.
- I sorted all of my felt by color. Rainbows!
- I had fried halloumi cheese for dinner. ‘Fried’ and ‘cheese’ go so well together.
- Encyclopedia of Needlework by Thérèse de Dillmont - Project Gutenberg
- Covers embroidery stitches, knitting, crochet, and other needlecrafts.
Yesterday…
- I printed out my temporary parking tag for NVCC.
- I made Thai beef green curry for my dinner while everyone else had leftover basil chicken. Tamarind just annoys my mouth.
- The baby had beans and rice for lunch.
- Another house on my daily dog-walking route went on the market. It is right next to one that has been on the market for at least three months.
Yesterday…
- My class started at NVCC. MATH 174, also known as Calculus 2. I love my math class. Of course, I drove there in a snowstorm that disappeared by the time I turned the corner.
- Marcus made lunch while I was away at school. Life skills! Macaroni and cheese!
- I taught Rebecca how to make friendship bracelets with some spare floss.
- I bought floss organizers to prevent the floss I have from turning into a rat’s nest.
- Last, but not least, Matthew and I celebrated our tenth anniversary.
Yesterday…
- We found Rebecca’s original ballet slippers in the lost and found at ballet. After I’d written her name on the new ones with Sharpie.
- I bought a pack of floss for her budding friendship bracelet hobby. I was getting tired of her raiding my small, small stash.
- I did most of my math homework. Yay, length of a curve and work.
- Madeline ate four of Cinderella’s slippers, and I told Rebecca that there was no way that I was fishing through poopy diapers to find them. Goodbye, glass slippers.
- I watched Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on FOX’s web site. Are they ignoring T3: Rise of the Machines completely, or will it be worked back into the timeline later on? I wonder. It may be like Highlander 2, where it exists but isn’t considered canon.
Yesterday…
- Oh my God, the snow. Big and fluffy, small and icy, snow, snow, snow. And then it started raining. Meh.
- Matthew drove me to school because I was a little leery of driving in the snow. Two-thirds of the math class was there, which must mean that they love the class as much as I do. We did hyperbolic functions. Sinh(), cosh(), etc.
- We went to the mall and I bought two dress shirts, a pair of dress shoes, and three pairs of nylons. I hate shopping.
- We had to nix plans to go out to Bonefish for dinner because the weather was just miserable. Chef Boyardee to the rescue.
