It's Sunday!

The boy is asleep, the husband is just waking up from his nap, and the kitchen is clean. Actually, so's the rest of the house. I just finished eating cold ravioli (better than it sounds, actually--not canned) and am contemplating what I want to read after three good books right in a row.*** I think I'll catch up on comics.

I finally got all my music onto my laptop. I only have 5.3 days of music all by myself. This makes me a little sad. I just got a couple of songs by The Hold Steady, which I've only listened to once but like thus far. And the Eels, "Beautiful Freak," which was in Hellboy II. Scott just bought the soundtrack to Marie Antionette, so I need to load that. I am waiting for the new Nas album to hit iTunes, because I want to get a couple songs off that, as well. Yes, I like Nas. And then the new Dresden Dolls ...

I realized as I finished loading my music that there are songs I bought and have not listened to yet, because what with one thing and another I forgot I bought them.

Did I mention that Scott got all three Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain albums?

I believe I did mention that, due to the bird feeder right outside the sliding door on the concrete pad, we have a border of odd wildflwery, could-be-corn plants? Well, we do. And they've attracted some very cool butterflies. In front, the birds planted some sunflowers for me, which are growing really well.

I was going to mow the lawn today, but it's raining.

Oh and Quicken may be trying to kill me. I'm not sure.




***Nurk, New Amsterdam, and Lock and Key. [livejournal.com profile] sugarcoatedlie, I recommended New Amsterdam to [livejournal.com profile] jenifoto, and I think you'd like it, too. Don't let the Anita Blake comparison on the cover deter you. Granted, I haven't read the Anita Blake books, but going by your description, they are not that much alike.

(no subject)

Ugh. My eyes are watering. Hate that.

We're at the parents' house because my grandmother is headed to Tennessee for the summer tomorrow, and we wanted to make sure she got some Zweeble-time. He's been getting thoroughly spoilt, and is currently being bathed in the kitchen sink. It's a deep sink and has a squirty attachment.

I got to sleep in today, and I'm still bushed.

Tomorrow I have announced that I need some time in the office to take care of various office-related things. I need to remind [livejournal.com profile] dealio that I said it, though.

I started using Quicken for my check registers--dude, that thing rocks. No math! Just typing things into little boxes! I love typing things into little boxes!

Aaaand ... now the husband wants to go to DQ. So off I go.
