Whoa, this day has disappeared!

Let's see - got up around 7:15 (pretty late for me) - fixed coffee. Then what did I do?
Oh, I almost forgot - way last autumn, I ordered some everyday dinnerware from a pottery that was at the Kansas City Rennaissance Festival. They make everything to order, so it took a really long time to get my dinner plates, bowls and lunch plates. The mugs are yet to be delivered - but unpacking all of my stuff took John and I some time and made an incredible mess. They used recycled boxes and shredded newspapers to pack everything in - and the boxes were humongous. I'm pretty happy with how it has all turned out so far - now I need to order some serving pieces.

And then, I decided to do something with the just awful wood floor in our hallway - it has been pretty abused. So I got some stuff that strips and cleans the wood and spent most of the afternoon on my hands and knees trying to clean it up in preparation for waxing it. The smell was just awful - so bad that we had to open windows and turn on the attic fan (and it's about 30 degrees outside) to get rid of the fumes.

It's finally dry now, but I think I'll have to go over it some more later tonight or tomorrow before I test some wax on it.

I don't know why I decide to start these projects when I do. This may have been better left until warmer weather.

I still have to download my pictures from Michigan, do more laundry, figure out what to fix John and I for dinner and vacuum the living room/dining room.

Well, I'll be back - oh, and in case you forgot, Kin of Kin's Kouch is our host for the Carnival of the Recipes this week and he will have it up tomorrow - so I suppose if you really, really hurry, he might be able to get your recipe added!
