On the subject of productivity... um... WOW. It's been a hell of a weekend so far, and it continues today, and it feels GOOD.
Yesterday started with cleaning kitchens while Kev took Boo to TKD. Then off to Chick's basketball tryouts. Then home to destroy a deck while the kids loaded wood into the wood chute, and then Chick went to shower. Immediately after that, we headed out again to go the oriental grocery and to Crossgates (yes, we voluntarily went to the mall). Both shopping trips were excellent and productive. The oriental grocery was a new one to us, and we quite enjoyed the place. Bought all manner of things, from lo mein noodles to asian pears to one lunch box for $2.99. At Crossgates I kinda had a clothesgasm and bought clothes at both JC Penney and Torrid, and Kev and Chick got jeans, and we also got a bag for the new camera (which was part of why we'd gone there in the first place).
Today has been another day of productivity, both laundry and cooking.
eternaleponine came to visit and we totally cooked up a storm, so we are all now set for lunches in the coming week with a ton of food. And brilliant food too, which I am actually looking forward to eating in a major way. Of course, by the time we were done, I was utterly exhausted, so dinner turned into hotdogs and hamburgers for the family after eponine headed out. Tonight I'll put together lunches for the kidlets, although I don't need to do ones for the adults until Monday night because we are off work tomorrow.
In irritating news, my hall-of-mirrors account is refusing to let me get to email, which means I can't get things done that need done, which is very very frustrating.
