Today's Victims

So, though I can't attribute it caffeine, here's what fell victim to today's flurry of activities:

The "junk" t-shirt drawer
As I did to the sock community yesterday, I did unto the junk t-shirt drawer today. I just simply don't paint enough to need that many junk shirts. Out with ye!

(All the other clothes now fear me, as well they should.)

Three large Fireside apples
I had to accelerate the consumption of the orchard apples that the boys and I picked a couple weeks ago (lest they go bad) and decided to make a batch of deeeeelicious apple muffins and another tray of apple crisp, which was even better than the first.

My waistline
I ate two of the muffins, a piece of apple crisp, and a threw in a few bites of a scrumptious piece of pecan pie that had been graciously given to me.

Granted, I did get a workout in so I don't feel so bad about the goodies, but still. I'm sure eating with wild abandon like I have been lately will eventually catch up with me.

This was a productive weekend as it turns out. In addition to everything I've already mentioned this weekend, I installed the new parts in the grill I inherited off the streets and fired it up successfully, did laundry, got an oil change, ran some errands, mega-dosed the hell out of my developing sore throat, finished season 2 of LOST, and squeezed in a little fun too.

Life is good.

Strong Coffee & Sock Drawers

Helllooooooo World!!

So, this is the second weekend in a row without the boys and I'm kicking it off right with far too much caffeine. Ya know what effect that has on me?

Well, many actually.

1. It makes me have to poop. (Sorry, just tellin' it like it is.)
2. It makes me get creative, or at least think that crazy ideas that start popping into my head are way better than they really are.
3. It opens a very narrow window in which I feel like tackling every single thing I've been putting off for the past 6+ months.

Like my sock drawer. I cannot believe how many pairs of socks I have, and more importantly, cannot fathom what has possessed me to hold on to the the thirty odd pairs that are either paper thin or have holes in them.

So, today I purge. I'm going through the sock drawer and without mercy ditching anything thin, hole-y, or that hasn't had the privilege of being on my feet within the past two years.

While the window is open anyway.

As soon as the buzz wears off I'll be back to wondering what to do with myself.

Look at me! I just make a blog post!

Song of the DayLaura Veirs - When You Give Your Heart

If you haven't heard of Laura Veirs, you need to give this a listen. Apparently she used to have an all girl punk rock band, but this stuff is just deeeeeeeelicous.

Thank you, bluebird.
