the Xanadu sountrack finished downloading...

and no one was home, and that meant SING ALONG! I also downloaded this 200-song twee pop mix so right now I'm just kind of relaxing to it, drinking store brand V-8 and sharing peanut butter crackers with the dogs in lieu of an actual healthy late lunch.



I think I'm going to stop buying the dogs stuffed toys. Besides the fact that I am really sick of there being a fine coating of white stuffing on every floor surface in the house (especially since the vacuum is broken, as you can clearly see), they are just as happy with knotted fleece toys. I have polar fleece left over from an old project, so I just cut some strips off and knotted them and they can fight over those instead.



Last night at the last minute we decided to have a fire, the first one of the year, so Peter and Adrian got the pizza while I chopped some veggies quick for a salad. It was drizzling off and on all night but for the most part it was quite nice out. Instead of drinking cheap beer we had various flavors of hot tea. Dan came home and we made some really awesome plans for the house. It is going to be like a real live grown up's house when we're done with it! I can finally move some pieces out of storage, and once we get all the room-switching completed I think everyone will be much happier. We're going to really try and fix up the yard this year - Peter has a chainsaw to get rid of all the random green crap that keeps popping up everywhere, and I am going to try flowers again and try not to get completely bored with watering them. I got gardening gloves from the dollar store, so you know how serious I am. And with the help of the internets, I will trim that killer rose bush. I do kind of like it growing all wild, but Peter does not like it trying to drag him under when he's mowing the lawn.

I started the process of inventory of all my handmade items. It could not be more of a pain, but I need to know what I have, what is photographed, what I need to make more of... Also, and this is dumb, but I got these nice little round price tags that I like much better than the rounded rectangles I was using, so I feel like I want to go and relabel everything. I am also adjusting my prices on some things, and udpating old packaging on other things. I love making more work for myself. It seems weird to me, but some things I made that used to be so dear to me are now just "meh, throw it in the swag bag giveaway pile."

Time to go buy some potting soil and finish this inventory.
