Mostly this is me waving to you saying Hi from the blog world. :)
I so love being able to burn CDs now. I just burned a couple for my mom...one of a playlist I made back in December, and one I made today. I hope she likes them, or at least finds a song or two that she likes on them.
Also, yes, I am procrastinating. I need to do the dishes. I also need to vacuum, but can't do that until Daisy wakes up. It would be rude to wake up a sleeping cat.
Travel coming up: leaving tomorrow for the last (!) Murfreesboro/Franklin teaching run. Heading to Winston-Salem on May 15, and then riding with Kate to Richmond for the weekend of May 16-17. Busch Gardens!!! Babysitting Alex at my grandparents' house from May 27-June 2, and then leaving on June 13 for LA. Will be spending time in LA, San Diego, and Las Vegas. Sooooo looking forward to that vacation!
Because I really like writing from the shallow end of the pool... :)
* My dishwasher is really loud. Yes, I'm just now making note of this...I use it once, maybe twice a year. I'd happily give it to FantasyLibrarian, but I'm quite sure that my apartment complex wouldn't like that.
* Daisy is stretched out on my (admittedly unmade) bed. I was just about to take a picture of her, but then she got up to stretch. Because it's hard to have too many pictures of one's cat on a blog, here is one from a few days ago. She loves soaking up sunshine:
* That paper that I submitted was rejected. :( I'm going to wait a week or so, then go through and make some adjustments. In the meantime, I'm brainstorming other places to publish.
* I've been a total knitting slacker lately. I need to get back into it soon, as those baby blankets aren't going to knit/crochet themselves...
* I've also been a bit of a slacker on the housekeeping front, hence the need to run the dishwasher. Sigh.
* I'm glad I was finally talked into joining Facebook, as it's fun catching up with friends. :)
* I think I'll go to bed early tonight. Early for a Saturday, anyway.
...because I can't seem to get a coherent post together in my head. ;)
* It's sourdough time!!! I mixed up some starter last night using the Joy of Cooking recipe that I've been using for years & years. Hopefully, this will be the same starter that I use when making loaves for Christmas presents. In the past I haven't made it far enough in advance. Good bread, but not v. sourdough-tangy.
* I've been really into housekeeping lately. I know I've always strived to keep things tidy, but this is a new level of tidiness for me. I love it!
* I've also been really into exercising lately, which is great. I don't look forward to it every day (yet!) and often have to bribe myself into going. But it's a start, right?
