Dragonfly tagged me with a "four things" meme. I've been a blog slacker, so I didn't realize it for a couple of weeks! ;)

4 things I did today (I'll count "day" as "24 hours"):

• Finished a twirly skirt.


• Comforted a nightmare-ing child.


• Donated to WUWM's fund drive.


• Drank coffee and wrote code (this one is cheating, I realize)

4 things on my to-do list:

• Renew my license plates.


• Get passport pictures for the monkeys.


• Nail down Christmas plans.


• Run.

4 of my guilty pleasures:

• heavy cream in my tea


• sleeping in on a rainy day


• Rachel Ray


• The Order of the Stick

4 random facts about me:

• I don't have a belly button.


• My little fingers are bent inward on both hands. Both of my girls ALSO have bent little fingers.


• I was a member of a nationally-ranked parliamentary procedure team (DORK!!)


• I am so conflict-averse that I can't watch Jerry Springer/Montel/any of the talk shows with yelling and screaming. I get too stressed out.

Tuesday Thing

From the lovely Prickly Pear Bloom.

The new tradition. . .
The "thankful thing" before dinner
Dinner with candles, even if it's just boxed mac 'n' cheese and hot dogs

The old tradition. . .
Antipasto, cheese, and wine on Thursday nights

I'll be really glad when. . .
All of the various financial garbage is sorted and I know where I stand.

Not liking. . .
Missing my German.
Being sick for so long and not being sure what's going on.

Liking. . .
The anticipation of making pumpkin bread
The girls falling in love with "yogurt sundaes" (Greek yogurt + apple butter + Fiber One cereal)
Chilly nights for sleeping curled up under the quilts
