- decided that all of the old New Yorker magazines needed to be burned up because they were everywhere. I kept on the task of feeding magazines into the fire place until I was distracted by a pressing issue on Law and Order SVU--that show sucks you in.
- researched the workout program P90X from computer while lying in bed. I think the presenter might be too annoying to listen to for an hour a day.
- played bristle blocks with Amelia for so long that I started to get a little mad when she wanted to take down my towers to build more of hers.
- researched how I could buy loose Lego blocks instead of kits. This took about an hour.
- listened to an interview on Morning Edition with Lawrence Wright about his profile of Scientology in the most recent New Yorker. Listened to Fresh Air interview with Lawrence Wright about his profile of Scientology. Read original article by Lawrence Wright in the New Yorker. Went online and researched Scientology. Watched videos of L. Ron Hubbard. Decided that I had learned enough about Scientology.
- went to hardware store. bought one bag of salt. came home. spread the salt. returned the the hardware store. bought one more bag of salt. spread the salt. it still wasn't enough so I made a sandwich.
- took all the dishes off of their shelves. Cleaned the shelves. Reorganized the dishes and put them all back.
All in all a pretty good week but I think I'm ready to go back to work.
Total non sequitur...Amelia has been an amazing little girl recently. She talks so much and about such interesting things. Yesterday she told me a story about how Ryan and James and Henry and she were playing superheros. Ryan and James and Amelia were all playing Spider-Man so I asked if Henry was Spider-Man too. Amelia frowned deeply and looked at me like I was the biggest idiot on earth. No, she said, Henry was playing Batman. How was I to know.
She also does this cool thing where she lists out everyone that she loves.
I love mommy.
I love daddy.
I love Zoe.
I love Yoda.
I love Badger.
And then we ask her if she loves Toonces, our mean cat, and she will look at us skeptically and say, NO!
