I have no voice. Literally, not metaphorically. The kids keep asking me to "pretend [i'm] in a box." At least I can still give "the look."

Cooking my first leg of lamb today... braised in red wine sauce. Usually the only Easter-y thing we do is buy some discounted chocolate the day after, but there was a good sale on lamb. :)

Darned kids. Engaged in intense imaginative play right before school's supposed to start. An hour later and they're still going strong.

44-clove garlic soup... here I come. :D

I want my hour back.

I scored three pounds of Parmigiano Reggiano today for $10 a pound. Oh, the (culinary) places we can go...

Six screens to cancel my Audible membership? Please, you're just provoking me. My last credits went to the complete and unabridged Churchill's A History of the English Speaking Peoples and The Twelve Caesars. :D

A pound of bacon in the fridge with today's date on it. What to do? What to do? :D

Our new washer is coming today. Yay! But it's a small laundry room and we have to take the dryer out before the washer can be exchanged,. DH was charged with removing the door. He got to use the WD-40 AND a hammer AND a screwdriver. "His Manliness" is now off watching The Hobbit with my eldest, most likely having foraged some popcorn and a bottle of water for himself and his daughter before settling down in his seat.

How is it that my kids are only just now hearing "I'm a Lumberjack" for the first time? I'm a bad parent.

There's a hole in my ignore bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza; There's a hole in my ignore bucket, dear Liza, a hole. But not for long.

Matt Berry + Portlandia = Woo hoo! Too bad I don't have cable. Well, not really... It's an excuse to go over to a friend's with a bottle of wine.

Brave or foolhardy: walking home with three dozen eggs, leading a dog, on black ice?

The definition of frustration: Trying to explain to a technical neophyte the difference between Chrome OS, Chrome browser on computers, and the Chrome browser app to explain why you can't install apps from the Chrome Web Store on an Android tablet. Argh!

The girls have spent the better part of two days designing skins for the Minecraft characters. It's amazing what they've come up with given the constraints.

My "big" Christmas present just dispatched: Peep Show Series 8. I can hardly wait the two-ish weeks it'll take to get here.

Zero unread items in Google Reader. Zero unread items in my inbox (and a plethora of new filters to help keep it that way). Ha! Starting my New Year's resolutions early.

Saw A Midsummer Night's Dream with DD the Elder and some friends this afternoon, her first live Shakespeare. An amazing production. Bottom was played to great effect as a good ole boy (think O Brother, Where Art Though?, replete with singing), and the rest of the cast was first rate.

I just deleted 10 of my Amazon wishlists... feeling a bit giddy.
