Yesterday…

* The last (or next-to-last) 1099 came in the mail, so I did a quick run through of our taxes. Yay, taxes. I’ll have to block out some time with copious amounts of tea and chocolate to do the final tally.
* We went to WalMart and bought a belt for Rebecca and a scale for the bathroom. When we got home, we discovered that they had not rung up the belt on the receipt. We will go back on Monday to pay for it. Annoying.
* We went out to dinner at Bonefish. They have a gluten-free menu; I had trout with lemon butter, Matthew had a steak, and the baby had calamari tentacles, French fries, and key lime pie. The kids shared a brownie with strawberry sauce and vanilla ice cream for dessert after they cleaned their plates. It was really nice.

Yesterday…

* I woke up to miserable, drenching rain. No doggie walks. Lots of stir crazy.
* I made potato soup for the Friday fooding.
* I fiddled with Photoshop and Illustrator and finished my punchlist for . Added a plugin, found out the YouTube API has some issues, made pretty logo graphics, etc.
* Rebecca did math without complaining… much.

Yesterday…

* Yay, math class! I spent the first half doing the homework for the lesson, and the second half fiddling around with two equations proving that they were equal. Terms raised to the 3/2 and 5/2 powers, but once simplified, they were in fact equal.
* Code. The end is in sight. Oh, the code.
* I made two successful batches of popovers. They did not burn. I am puzzled as to what I did differently.

Yesterday…

* I made a double batch of popovers for breakfast. I burned the bottoms. The kids ate the tops. Breakfast sucked.
* More code. Some browsers can’t clear floats properly. Code, code, code.
* Some other stuff I can’t remember probably happened, but clearly didn’t leave an impression.
* Oh, I walked the dog. The neighborhood is looking kind of empty. Tumbleweeds.

Yesterday…

* I baked a chicken for dinner, stripped the carcass, and made a big batch of chicken stock for soup on Tuesday.
* I spent a lot of time dealing with Illustrator (I hate Gaussian blur, among other things) coming up with some graphics.
* Madeline learned the word ‘pee’. She now grabs her diaper and yells, ‘Peh!’. I see a potty in her future.

Yesterday…

* I spent a lot of time fiddling with WordPress and templates and CSS and Photoshop.
* We went to Harbor Freight and bought Marcus a cabinet full of bins. He got home and started sorting his Legos into the bins… and off the floor. Yay!
* Rebecca picked out some multi-colored floss at the needlecraft store. Her stash of friendship bracelets grows daily.
