Monday, NStuff

Work sucked today, now lets move on, shall we?

When I got home, Brett was making sloppy joe's.  We all LOVE sloppy joe's.  It went over well.  Add to that the fact that Kevin started the process of a Jello cake.  Yup, it was shaping up to be a good night.  When you have two oven racks, you should NEVER put a cake on the bottom rack, especially if the two racks are less than 3" apart.  LOL  Poor Kevin learned this the hard way.  The cake rose up and around the top rack.  It was interesting to get the cake out.  His comment was "it'll taste as good anyway."  Mom's comment was "you'll never know after the whipped cream is on it."  They were both right.

Natalie spent most of her quiet time mending the quilt.  My grandma made several quilts for the family, and this one is showing the wear of many washings.  Natalie and I spend a little bit of time each night sewing squares back together.  There are a few places where the squares are gone, and I just sew them to the backing.  It's better than having it all thread-bare, right?  It's been a great opportunity to talk to Natalie about my grandparents.  I miss them.

I sat down to pay some bills.  It was a rough three weeks, or so.  We could barely tread water.  Now that the worst stuff has passed, it's time to pay bills on schedule.  Wow, OK, let's regroup.  We owe a LOT of things.  (work, work, slave away, see what we can pay today...)  I found, in the pile of bills, a bumper sticker.  I need to put it on the car.  I've had it for 3 months....do you think I'll put it on there soon?  Eh, who knows?

Anyway, it was a pretty typical day here.  It'll get weird next week, with me going to Pasedena and all, but for now, all is normal (fierronormal) and good.  Good night, friends.
