How to be popular

When asked what your plans are for the weekend, don't say "Sorting my yarn balls" (even if you are excited about it).

What to do on Sunday

When you accidentally stay up until 3:30 on Saturday night.

1) Sleep until 1. Get outta bed.



2) Make oatmeal.

3) Put it in a bowl with fruit items, brown sugar, and butter. NO MILK.

4) Add more butter.

5) Eat it!! Also: coffee.

6) Putter around until bedtime.

7) Sleep.

New hat!

I love this packaging.

Look at the drawing!



So good.

Philosophy for kids



I love this story, and I extra-love the fact that they read and discuss Frog and Toad Are Friends!

Found!

HOLY MOLY there were like 400 books stacked against the fence on the corner of Driggs and McGuinness last weekend!

I came upon them as I ran toward the park for some exercise... Ninety minutes later Greg came looking for me (I had been going for a half-hour run). He met me on the sidewalk as I walked home in my running gear with two shopping bags full o' books. Yers, I was rawther embarrassed.



But—free books!

A delightful prospect



Is that pistarchio donut as good as it looks?

CHOMP CHOMP.

Important calculations

Greg just got his first pair of glasses.





Key for tax time.

These pictures remind me of a photograph of my father when he was a lot younger (maybe even before I was born?), sitting at his desk working, wearing glasses like that.

Also: I like seeing the deductions add up! GO GREG!

Still hanging around
