    Yesterday…

    * I printed out my temporary parking tag for NVCC.
    * I made Thai beef green curry for my dinner while everyone else had leftover basil chicken. Tamarind just annoys my mouth.
    * The baby had beans and rice for lunch.
    * Another house on my daily dog-walking route went on the market. It is right next to one that has been on the market for at least three months.

    Yesterday…

    * Matthew made basil chicken for dinner; I fed some of the mild batch to Madeline and she yummed it up.
    * I sorted all of my felt by color. Rainbows!
    * I had fried halloumi cheese for dinner. ‘Fried’ and ‘cheese’ go so well together.

    Yesterday…

    * Jess came over and we needlefelted a poppy and a hedgehog each. We also walked the dog. But there was lots and lots of needlefelting.
    * Rebecca threw one heck of a tantrum and Matthew carried the television out to the shed. The kids asked “Can we watch TV?” a few too many times this weekend. Not cool. Hello, peace and quiet.
    * The mailman brought a box of felt. Yay, felt!

    Yesterday…

    * I took Rebecca to the store and got new ballet shoes. I am so glad that this pair came with the elastics already sewn.
    * I had a Caesar salad for dinner.
    * I washed all of Madeline’s stuffed animals and soft toys.

    Yesterday…

    * I went to a blast media company and felt their grits. I’m still holding out for a personal visit to a place in New Jersey at Easter; hopefully they will have the mineral emery in a 120/240 grit in quantities smaller than 2,000 pounds.
    * I had a pounding headache in the evening because the weather was changing, so I took Tylenol and Advil and went to bed.

    Yesterday…

    * I made my mountain of clean laundry into a molehill.
    * Rebecca lost her ballet shoes and did not go to ballet. I cannot find them, and have a feeling they are in the Bloom parking lot. Or were. A week ago. Bloom said they did not have any ballet shoes in their lost and found, so I think they are long gone. Rebecca will have to pay for her new ballet shoes.
    * I lost a flashlight while I was looking for the shoes. Then I found two other flashlights. Then I finally found the flashlight that I lost. I know where Rebecca gets her losing gene from.
