All of yesterday and so far today when in my car I listen to Rufus Wainwright’s “Hallelujah” from the “Shrek” soundtrack.  Over and over and over and over and over again.  What’s with that?  Antidote to “The God Delusion”?

I picked up the first batch of “new” dining room chairs and I’m thrilled!  The old dining room chairs were one of the few things left that irked me every time I passed the dining room.  I guess not so bad that I was willing to go shopping for new ones.  But, I always did like the chairs I had in Walker and the first Florida condo so I called Ethan Allen.  Turns out that line didn’t sell well and was discontinued many years ago.  Between eBay, Craig’s List and an Ethan Allen Owners’ website I was able to acquire 14 chairs from across the country.  I’m having the seats recovered in two batches, always leaving me a few to sit on. * Today I stumbled upon the concept for a house!

While snowed in this past weekend, I was determined to make a pair of knit and felted slippers.  I failed.  While I intend to wash the second pair a few more times, I give up and will not be knitting any more slippers.  Really.  Giving up is so very hard to do! * Rumor has it both lakeshore homes on my street sold over the weekend.  As did the house I went and looked at. What’s that mean?  Probably nothing.  I just can’t get excited about moving.  Perhaps that’s because I’ve not found the right property to move to.  Or perhaps that’s because I’m pretty happy and content just where I am.  I must admit, Mr.B makes it pretty easy to stay.  I think I would have painted a sign on cardboard and planted it in the front yard had I been the one to do all the shoveling this past weekend.

I wanted to be snowed in yesterday, not so much today!  Br.B spent the day on snow removal detail.  I supervised.

I had really hoped to wake up and find myself snowed in this morning, but no such luck.

The rain has forced cancellation of knitting tonight.  It’s only a matter of time before it turns to ice and then snow.

The pressure is building!  I still haven’t bought Avery’s 2nd birthday stock.  I’ve been foiled on my first two choices.  None of the cottage cheese makers is public, and I guess that’s OK since she seems to be over cottage cheese.  Mars, the makers of her beloved M&Ms, is privately held.  Another choice would be a diaper manufacturer, since I’m guessing that’s where most of Avery’s consumer dollars went in her second year.  More of the well performing Fisher Price/Mattel is under consideration as well.

I wore my snow pants to church this morning and while it seemed like inappropriate attire, at least I made it, which is more than I can say for 80% of the people who usually attend.  I had a nice nap on the couch while MrB roasted chickens and shoveled snow.  Knit.  Watched a bit of golf on TV.

I get some really weird trackbacks here. * Wow!  It’s been a long time since I was the one to lock up the office at the end of the day.

I did it!  I bought some Caribou stock. * Mr.B is going to be a GrandPa!  * Rebecca of wedding photographs fame stopped by for a glass of wine and a bit of catching up.

Mr.B and I took a “Quiet Your Mind” class at my gym.  Part TaiChi, part meditation.  In the warm candle lit therapy pool with live flute music.  It was lovely.  Did I tell you how I kicked his butt at Scrabble this past weekend?

I find it humorous the AntiSpam software Rent-A-Geek installed on our server filters out their very own invoices and statements as spam.  * As of today I’m going to keep the entire day in one box.  Not only might it make things easier for those of you who just can’t get with the new program here, but it eliminates my having to come up with a title for each entry.

Yoga

Mr.B and I took a Partner Yoga class at my gym.  A pleasant way to connect on a Saturday afternoon.  Followed by a burger at Snuffy’s, a place I remember fondly from when the boys were young.
