Productive

This evening I'm feeling rather productive and wanted to write about it.  Sophie came to help Jack with math.  This after his mother took us all to dinner at Hard Times.  Really not helping me with my eating (or more specifially NOT eating) plans.  But oh well.  Free dinner I didn't have to cook, with people I don't mind spending time with.  I've hung my new curtains, bought because they are supposed to help insulate.  I'm not thrilled with the color or material really, but as I'm sitting here I'm already noticing that it is a little warmer than before.  Function is the key here.  And maybe once the wrinkles fall out (me, iron?  i don't think so) and I get used to them, maybe they won't be so bad.

I also went through a few piles of crap from the office, and shut up the guest room for the winter.  I made a bigger mess out of my living room, but did remove some of the said crap from the office to the downstairs pile of crap for later reorganization.  I also made a deposit to the box of lies (aka the bin with random wires, cords, etc.) so named because once, after purchasing miles of speaker wire for some household project, Jack happened upon this box and realized it was hiding all sorts of speaker wire and I had never told him about it.

I also watched Dr. Rey argue with his bitchy wife while she tried to boss him around.  I killed a few brain cells, for sure.  

One other thing.  We announced at dinner that we are adding kittens to our family.  My mother in law seems very keen on this idea, and has just this evening sent me 7 craigslist postings for kittens needing homes!  I think she is living vicariously through us.
