Yesterday…

* I did not make black bean soup for dinner. My time management skills on that one were suboptimal. The beans will just have extra time to soak.
* I took the dog for a walk, chatted with the mailman when he stopped at the house on the corner, picked up one poop, and saw that yet another house on my route has a white foreclosure notice tacked up on it.
* I ate leftover chicken enchiladas for lunch with Matthew.
* I fed the baby a cheese sandwich for lunch, and nam tok beef for dinner.
* I worked on SEO for a school site; it’s a lot of reorganizing and moving templates around, but I feel like it is finally coming together. The worst part is always the first page. Everything after that is much simpler.

Yesterday…

* I stayed in my pajamas all day long.
* I upgraded six installations of [WordPress](http://www.wordpress.org/).
* I made baked lemon chicken, rice, and peas for dinner. It’s always a hit with the kids; the baby was especially thrilled with the chicken.
* I made it up to the thumb gusset on a mitten and had to frog a few rows for stupidity.

Yesterday…

* I folded and put away all of the laundry that came out of the dryer. I also made progress on my mountain of clean laundry.
* I brought Rebecca to her ballet class and met Elizabeth, the crunchy granola cloth-diaper-sewing founder of [GENY](http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5189827). Her diapers are drool-worthy and quite well-made. If I weren’t addicted to prefolds, I’d be all over the one-size fitteds. Maybe for the next baby. (No, I am not pregnant right now.)
* I finished the cuff of a [purple mitten for Rebecca](http://www.ravelry.com/projects/jmdodd/basic-mitten-pattern) while Deidre and I chatted about dance and ballet and Christmas and life and the universe and everything.
* I ordered another giant pail of Charlie’s laundry soap, since I am down to my last few loads. I love giant pails of laundry soap. I bought my last one in November of 2006.

Yesterday…

* I made gluten-free banana nut bread and cinnamon muffins. They were also dairy-free; I substituted almond milk for the whole milk that I usually use. So not drinking almond milk straight up ever.
* I went to a New Years’ Day brunch at Elie and Laura’s. Marcus played pool. Rebecca pouted. Madeline toddled around being charming. I drank two mimosas and took a nap when I got home.
* I ate leftover broccoli for dinner. There was no Hollandaise sauce involved. The sadness! The horror!
