What DO I do all day?


Sooooo distracted these days. Waiting for Spring to FINALLY arrive - in short but sweet two-day stints. Researching peanut-free Crispy Crunch bars. Reading several books. Laundry laundry laundry. And the toddler bed is in the front room (don't ask).

Looking at nursing necklaces on Etsy. Fantasizing about new stroller in which to strap incorrigible 3 year old. Half price Frappuccino happy hour at Starbucks. Searching for nursing dresses online. Considering making own nursing dress. Search for bamboo jersey knit online. Recall that I pretty much suck at sewing.

Mad tidying/decluttering/2013 things removal/office clean-up in short spurts when all 3 children happen to all be occupied at the same time. This happens for about 20 minutes once a week. Not enough when incorrigible child can spread out 4 years of Chirp Magazines in 10 seconds flat.

Taking pictures every day.

Trying to put external hard drive together. I have no idea what I'm doing. Cannot find instructions. Oh crap, where are the screws for the EHD? Ah, there they are, under the La-Z-Boy. Of course. OK, it's put together. Oh wait, it doesn't turn on. (Don't I have a brother to do these sorts of things for me??? Mental note: don't make brother cheesecake for upcoming birthday.) Take apart EHD. Shove it in better. Make five "That's what she said" jokes and miss brother in Vancouver. Now it turns on. Must format EHD. Ummm, whhich format? How am I supposed to know? E-mail tech brother. (Add cream cheese to grocery list.) Format EHD. Transfer a bunch of photos. Wait to see if hard drive will crash. So far, so good.
