Meanwhile back at the ranch....
Mar. 8th, 2009 10:10 amI wonder: Why do my Februarys get so busy?
If you happen to be one of the oh, three people on earth who has been wondering why I haven't been updating, first I was writingwritingwriting. And then I was recovering from writingwritingwriting--I seem to have a limit of how much I can write in a given period of time, and if I go beyond that I quickly become exhausted. (I wonder, is this set for all time, or can I train to increase this amount?) Now I am trying to clear off the backlog of things that piled up while I was writing and then recovering.
The top of that list is "Finish Unpacking From Move". This is because A) I'm tired of tripping over boxes of books and B) Karin and Ami are coming in to town this week, and I'd like to be able to entertain them in a clean apartment. I hope I get the chance to cook a few meals for them; they always cook such wonderful stuff for me when I visit. Over the years they've gifted me with a number of really nice cookbooks, and when I get the chance I like to fix recipes from those books for our meals together. Nothing says "thank you for this cookbook" like that!
Yesterday I had originally planned to unpack/clean but instead I was able to borrow a car and run some of the errands that had piled up. In the course of that I hit several thrift stores looking for house-linens. I think thrift stores are perfect for things like that because while I have a need for curtains and such I can't make myself care enough about them to get expensive ones. As it was, I found a nice set of loose-woven blue-and-white curtains that were perfect for what I needed. For $1. SCORE! Intoxicated by my success, I decided to drop 75 cents on a bed skirt--I'd never had a bed skirt before and the concept was intriguing. I put it on the bed last night when I was changing the sheets and it did look kind of cute. Maybe I should consider getting a bedspread next.
