darchildreAnd then, I didn't update for a week. Huh. Here are some things that happened:
- Katie came up from Santa Barbara to visit for the weekend, which was lovely. We picked her up from the airport on Friday night and then decided to go find an IHOP. Things we discovered: 1) there is not an IHOP in Burien, despite the fact that our GPS thought there was, 2) cheesecake pancakes, OMG. We didn't get home till about 2:30, though. It was a weekend of sleep deprivation.
- I have learned to play cribbage! Which has ridiculous names for pretty much everything. It is charming, I love it. And the boards are pretty. So far, I only know how to play with one other person, but I guess you can somehow play with three or four? Something to look forward to. Mom and Katie and I played a lot of cribbage this weekend, with Dad stepping in occasionally.
- Katie made me watch Parks and Rec, which is awesome. I had been kind of avoiding it, since I thought it might hit my embarrassment squick but no, it is lovely.
- I am experimenting with Unfuck Your Habitat because, frankly, my bedroom is unacceptably messy. I tend to think of cleaning as this all day, all-or-nothing thing where I clean all the things and then don't do any cleaning for, like, a month. Which is not really working for me and there's clutter and I never vacuum and it makes me sad but I am terribly lazy. But 20 minutes of cleaning almost every day? I can totally do that. 20 minutes sounds small enough not to be intimidating but is, as I discovered this morning, enough time to thoroughly clean off my chest of drawers and reading table, empty the trash can, gather up all the miscellaneous garbage that's lying around, and empty the laundry basket. I can close my closet door now! It's totally exciting. Tomorrow, I'm going to put away all the clothes on top of the dresser. And maybe dust something.
- Christmas knitting progress: I have one project completely done, one that's 85% done, one that's half done, one where I haven't actually turned the heel of the first sock yet, and one that I had finished half of and then discovered that I had made the thing way too small and had to start again. So. There's that. Maybe I will try to finished the 85% one today.
