A jumble of stuffs.

My hair is freakishly curly today. I don't know what's so different than any other day, but I'm digging it.

Philip bought me two bottles of 7°Up last night. Craving = quenched.

I still need to put something in the mail for a friend.

The last pieces of my new camera arrived today. Now I can begin playing!

Big dinner planned tonight: brown-sugar ham, casserole of scalloped potatoes, rolls and veggies. I imagine we'll all sleep wonderfully tonight with such full tummies.

I'm still loving the results of the carpet cleaning.

Yesterday was Elvis's birthday. I didn't forget (I told Philip about it), but I didn't post about it. Today is the (fictional) birthday of Severus Snape.

My phone rang off the hook this morning. It seemed like everyone needed me for something.

I spent the weekend seriously decluttering (once again) after having put up the holiday decorations late last week. I declutter on a monthly basis, and I'm always amazed that I can still get rid of enough things to stuff the back of the car and take to Goodwill. Philip built new DVD racks, and we donated our old ones to friends. (We actually loved our current DVD storage system, but Crate&Barrel discontinued the racks, and we couldn't stand to have mismatched storage.) In the process of moving the DVDs over, we also tossed out several VHS tapes that we've since replaced on DVD anyway.

The only thing left in the house to reorganize is my scrapbooking stuff. The task seems huge, and frankly, I'd rather just hide my head and pretend it doesn't need to be done. ;-)

Away From Her is a seriously sad movie. I knew it would be, though. Especially with so much Alzheimer's in my own family, too. The next movie up is Soldier's Girl, and I've read that it will be quite the tear-jerker, too. :-(

I'm the laundry queen today. I'd love for someone else to come be the 'Put It All Away' princess, though...

Michael Bublé ringtones are LOVE.

I did the preliminary computer stuff for our taxes this year. Now to just wait for Philip's military W-2 to arrive, as I never can estimate exactly how all the nontaxable combat pay stuff will shake out. I got the rough estimates done last night, including the final numbers from all our Runza stuff, and it'll only take me two minutes to input the rest on the 21st. In other words, our taxes are almost done - wheee!

About that dinner...

I <3 your icon, lolz.
Ooh, we did some DVD racks. Wow, you replaced every VHS you had? Poor VHS...it never knew what hit it.
Enjoy organizing! :D
You do the taxes in your house? Good for you!!

This icon is one I made to celebrate the awesomeness that is 'The Affairs of a Wilting Flower' - a wonderful Marauder-era fanfic written by my dear friend hermioneluna. I made several of them, and you can find them here. *grins*

Oh, and the fic can be found here.

Oooh, sounds lovely! Thanks for all the links! :D

Oh, and we've not replaced all our VHS tapes - not by far. But there were several that we have replaced over the years, and we tossed out the old VHS 'extras.'

We had our taxes done by H&R Block for a couple years, but I've done them for the last six years now. It's very easy. :-)

Ah, I seee.

Wow! That's so cool that you do the taxes, honestly. I'd never even try! I'm scared I'll have to this year cause I earned money, lol. My dad does 'em and when he's sitting down to the kitchen table with his #2 pencils, me and the bro just go upstairs. XP

Actually, my ears burn OFTEN. It's always my right ear, and it is frequently beet-red. I just didn't know it was you that was causing it. ;-)

do you find it weird that I enjoy doing taxes, even though we hardly get any refund (if at all?). I use HR Block tax program though, so it's not like I have forms and a pencil or anything.

I've been in the mood for a tear-jerker movie, so I might add those to my list! Thanks!

No, I don't, because I enjoy doing taxes as well. I used to do them as part of my services to the military couples that I sold insurance to, and I've always been willing to do taxes for my friends.

I totally agree with you on the scrapping stuff. I did attempt to organize it a few weeks/months ago and sadly haven't touched it since then. No time! Ugh.

I'm NEVER going to catch up! *whine*
