In which I have a suspicion. Rehearsal last night rocked. I love this band. We ate an entire box of chocolates during the dinner break. (“We” being everyone but the bass player who didn’t have any chocolate at all.) Please note we’ll be playing the ballroom at the Best Western with Bambu on NYE and […]
And I hate being cold. I think Nature’s just showing off with this 6-degrees-outside crap. We all know there’s really no reason to be that far below freezing. (Actually, it’s 23 degrees out right now. But it was 6 when I drove home from band practice Thursday night.) I’m sitting here at my desk in […]
In which… ah, fuck it. The entire point of yesterday’s post was to get Truck to comment. He did not. Bitch. Today: I got up, cleaned house, meditated, napped, ate leftover enchiladas, and cleaned more house. I’ve done more laundry than you can shake a stick at. I got rid of the cat pee smell […]
Hattie came out Sunday to visit. She’s so cool. We hung out and admired my felted lamb, talked and talked and talked, and drank half a bottle of wine. I also fed her dinner, since she was still there at dinner time and her curiosity about the Pepsi pot roast got the better of her. […]
For dinner last night I made tuna steaks, and new potatoes and mushrooms in the BBQ wok. I love my BBQ wok. If you don’t have one, get one. They’re amazing. You take any combo of chopped veggies, toss ’em in some marinade (olive oil, salt, and pepper is often more than adequate) and throw […]
I should be doing housework, but I’ve learned something: housework always needs to be done. Always. I have a husband who works construction, a cat, and three dogs. My house is old. I live at the end of a gravel road. In Iowa. There is never a moment when I can say, “My house is […]
Brett’s home today – no materials at the job site means no work for him to do – and that always throws me totally off my domestic stride. He’s just not supposed to be here when I’m cleaning the damn house. Basically I’ve accomplished nothing beyond making lunch, doing the ubiquitious dishes, putting away the […]
So far today: Get up, go back to bed, get back up, herbal tea, work out, laundry, dusting, change sheets, laundry, lunch, wash blankets, dishes, make bread, think about making rhubarb pie then decide making a crust would just be too much of a pain in the ass, lie around aimlessly and read, clean the […]
Right now, I am not doing the following: – sweeping the stairs – making the bed – putting away that massive pile of clean & folded laundry – tidying the LR – vacuuming the LR – dusting the LR – tidying the rest of the house – doing the dishes – going to the bank […]
Yesterday it was spring and we let the fire go out. I looked for crocuses but didn’t find any. Today there’s a fire going again, and it’s chilly out. I went to town for lunch and groceries and another visit to Dr. Crossland, and came home and made Mr. Brett a big pot of beef […]
