Tonight there was way too much work here. M did a major bout of grocery shopping while I cooked dinner and did some dishes, and after we ate, M was down in the basement sanding things (pretty sure he was just sanding for the pure pleasure of it, but he will call it mando work) and I made a dirt cake for tomorrow's birthday lunch. This is my aunt's specialty, and to be honest, I've never been a big fan but everyone else in the family loves it, so I thought I'd give it a try. (Crushed Oreos layered with a white creamy filling including vanilla pudding, cream cheese, etc.) The verdict is.. that the next time someone asks her for one, she ought to just smack them instead. Waaaay too much trouble for my tastes, and entirely too many bowls used. I don't mind fiddly cooking projects but only ones with a fantastic payoff and that's just not what this is to me. Oh, well. I have no idea how it turned out but the people I work with are very nice and won't tell me even if it's awful. So it'll be alright, no matter what, and it tastes approximately right anyway. I guess most people don't admit that they fix things for potluck dinners that they don't really care for, but I'm an oddball that way. It's good, I think, it's just not my thing.
We did not, however, tape off the trim in the computer room like we discussed doing, and we didn't round up our painting tools to see what we needed to purchase. We're going to paint this room soon, theoretically sometime this week. Maybe tomorrow, although we didn't do enough prep-work tonight so maybe not. I'm usually pretty tired on Wednesdays anyway, so another day would probably be better anyway. We haven't even gotten a good stat on the fun projects that we WANT to get done yet, and more things pile up. Which.. I'm not complaining because I won't lie to you--it's a lot of fun.
Anyway, I'd write more but I'm completely, totally exhausted and so I should probably head to bed. That's a good excuse for not having anything else to say, anyway. ;)
