Today’s plan

I know you all love to hear about my plans: today I have to clean, clean, clean because we’re having two different but simultaneous playdates with Caleb and Amy here this afternoon. I want to have the kids room, the living room, the foyer, and the kitchen done by the time I have to leave for my dentists appointment a little after noon. I hope my dentists appointment doesn’t take too long. She said an hour, I hope it is an hour. I only have an hour and fifteen minutes to work with, so I’m going early and going to hope that they’re running a bit early.

*updated to add: yes, it did only take an hour. 🙂

Switching things up a bit

Part of the reason I’ve not felt like blogging has been this overwhelming busyness combined with a general ennui caused by the everydayness of said busyness.  So I’ve let my brain know that I don’t necessarily have to post life things any more if I don’t feel like it.  I mean, that’s what tweets are for, right?  Hehehe.

In the future I’m going to use the dreamwidth account for the writing/projects/brain stuff only, and the livejournal for more personal stuff.  I’m awamiba either place.

Not Dead, Year in Review, ETC.

No, I’m not dead. I just don’t feel like blogging any more lately. At all. But, for my own curiosity, here are my book reading stats from last year:

By category:
Short Story Anthologies: 5
Science Fiction: 16
Fantasy: 15
Nonfiction: 12
Young Adult: 9
Mystery: 5
Generic Fiction: 9
Most read author: Lois McMaster Bujold
2nd Place: Agatha Christie
Books I read on my iPhone: 3
Most enjoyed book this year: one of the Vorkosigan Saga. Any one of them, really.
Least enjoyed book this year: there were many & I decided that life was too short, so I didn’t finish them & they aren’t on this list.

Cut for book list length

I wish I were a Lion

Five things make a post (or My Day as a List)

1. Jello Soup.  On the floor.  On the walls.  On my feet.  In my hair.  In the laundry basket.

2.  “You’re only inviting me over because you’re an Otter and I’m staying at home because I’m a Golden Retriever (and I love the rain.)”

3.  Only my own child can kick one of my children.

4. ”Let’s just exterminate the dirty dishes!”

5.  I typed this in its entirety with a child climbing in my hair, one of his fingers shoved into my eyeball, one leg on one side of my chest, the other on my back. (and then, as if that were not enough, he leapt into the upholstered chair next to me, which had two other children in it, and knocked the whole thing over–it’s now  on top of David and Greg’s back in it. ”gregory put his foot on my penis!  Penis!  penis!  Order in the court!”)
