Solidarity!
Ha! Who knew my laundry sluttishness was in such good company! Go laundry sleepers! I do confess once, in college, to slumping ON TOP of the clean laundry for a midnight nap. I was writing a paper and just fell backwards like thiiiiiiis, well, you know.
Today has been a rare day, a day with no work. Of course, that also means no money and I don’t care! A free day! Hooray! I’m building a bed and planning menus for the long long inlaw visit. (Hey Charlotte! I don’t know what it is with in-laws and meals either. My mother would also be happy with toast and my father brings his own roast beef.)
I accidentally have this subscription now to the Cooks Illustrated website. (The accident is that I took advantage of their free trial and forgot to cancel before the fourteen days were up. Hmph. Now I am going to cook every damn recipe on the site to make it seem worthwhile.) So I’ve been trawling it not simply for Thanksgiving recipes, but also for recipes for every single day they’re here. If I can actually plan a menu (and a shopping list) I might make it through the next few weeks sane.
Of course, I also have to do something about the huge wet blanket of leaves all over the back yard. I’m thinking my next place will be an apartment. And now I’m going to the library! Every day should be like this! Lots of coffee! And exclamation points! Books! Knitting! Blogging! Assembling furniture! Sunshine! And no damn work!
In a lovely juxtaposition with yesterday, last year at this time, Daniel was planning to start his own brewery and had developed a menu of beers. None of which, I promise you, had more than say 5% alcohol in them.
do you have kid sized rakes? Put ‘em to work! For some reason kids love to rake.
Also, Daniel’s brewery menu? love.
i hear you on the raking. i did it two days ago and then came outside…yikes! MORE leaves! i swear they are laughing at me.
How do you define “work” exactly? Because I am pretty tired just reading that post!
I need to take your lead on this kind of day…
