miscellany: the plural of miscellaneous
Er..I’m a “miscellanist”, meaning, I am a writer of miscellanies.
Been havin’ fun with my dictionary this week.
okay so….today:
- David had to unload TWO ice-laden planes before dawn. Think about the magnitude of expense that is…all of them are “next day” deliveries of christmas presents and that’s just for this one, small area. Last week a box broke open and silver bars fell out. Ooops……
- great news!!! He’s getting kept after the first of the year. Seniority or not, they like his work ethic and have the space to keep him. Happy, happy, happy!
- we started a new book, “48 Days to Work You Love” by Dan Miller, forward by Dave Ramsey. Neat stuff. I’m sure I’ll ramble on more about it in the days to come.
- the Turner work party was today; a family lunch. I finally met everyone. It was nice to put names with faces and they had a fantastic chocolate cake with little shavings of white all over. High point: spying extra pallets lying out back for my compost pile construction this weekend. ‘Nuff said.
- David also found a source for two salvaged sash windows for our cold frame! We know what we’ll be doing this weekend!!
- a BIG THANKS to everyone who has sent the chickens money recently. They’ve been saving up thier dollars and today each of them bought a pair of ice skates. As soon as they get here we’ll hit the rink…the kids are super-pumped up!
- We had curried lentils for dinner. Cool that I found way number 106 to make dried beans MORE than palatable! Add a little chutney and raisins and nuts and it was down right fantastic. The kids even had clean plates and no one complained. How often does that happen?
- I’m wishin’ my slippers would get here. Maybe tomorrow. Tonight we’ll snuggle on the couch and listen to another CD from the series we’re in right now, maybe make some popcorn, and watch a crime drama. We are certainly ready for this long weekend.
