daybook: november 20th 2009

November 20th, 2009 • Monthly Recap

Welcome back! Have you subscribed to my email newsletter yet?

Today…
Outside my window: it stopped raining, and looks like it might hit 60 today.

I am hearing: The television, Kaisa typing, Aby napping, and Aly drinking her juice obnoxiously loud.

I am thinking: That I need to do laundry and start packing for our trip to NC.

I am hoping: for a nap.

I am watching: nothing at the moment. Last night’s Vampire diaries was pretty good…almost epic. I’m gonna go hulu Bones in a min.

I am creating: this journal entry. I let out a dress last night, and cut the pattern for another one, though I don’t have enough of the fabric, so I might just make dresses for the girls out of it. I caught myself up on work, but not on the pile of clothing repairs, so I guess I could work on that.

I am wearing: a lime green plush bathrobe.

In the kitchen: is a pile of fruit loops, goldfish crackers, and animal crackers under Aby’s high chair.  For dinner this week that’s already over, we had:

• Monday: Macaroni and Sausages in a homemade sauce
• Tuesday: Macaroni and Meatballs
• Wednesday: Pizza
• Thursday:  Pork Chops, Artichokes, and Mashed Rutabaga
• Friday: leftover fritatta, per usual

Around the house: I changed the sheets in the girls room. Did the usual sweep, dust, swipe…Nothing else really, except cleaning the basement and starting to pack for our move.

Plans for the week: North Carolina, here we come!

A few things to share:

• go here and add my rss feed to see what else I share throughout the week.
• Typekit launched. This will change the way you design websites. Add a line of code to your pages and choose from hundreds of fonts. Simple, bulletproof, standards compliant, accessible, and totally legal.
• Last Days of Gourmet: In Pictures
• Vintage Telephones as inspiration as decorative items, even for lighting!
• Supermodel Marisa Miller has teamed up with Harley-Davidson motorcycles as the new spokeswoman for all of November in support of the first ever Military Appreciation Month.

• “What we know about eating animals is that we don’t want to know.” – The New Yorker: Should you eat meat?’
• 90s rock bands that disappeared for a while but produced surprisingly good albums recently that nobody knows about
• Short on cash but need a killer dress for Friday night? Try Rent the Runway for a mail-order designer dress rental.
• It’s interesting how many of Google’s expanded listings have become even more useful than the home page behind the link.
• “Now he mostly answers email, and occasionally finds time to actually program.” – Regarding and possibly by Loren Brichter: a succinct explanation of an independent developer’s life.
• If only everyone’s intestines could be so gingery… anatomical vegetarian ad
