as dinner cooks itself ...

Won't post a pic of the hallway yet, because it's not quite what I want it to be, but I will report that I hauled out three huge bags of stuff, and did not check the contents before I trashed them. I figure if we haven't missed any of the stuff in well over a year, it's probably fine to throw the whole lot out. I'll let you know if this action proves regrettable.

In the meantime, I shopped. And it wasn't all fun.

Tomorrow: Wednesday already! Runaway train! Finish hallway, swim, do second purchase order (it's only $100 and the store is something like a tenth of the size of Fisher, so it should be a relative snap). I am also going to make time and find a place to sit around with Autobiography of a Face, the BEST purchase I made today. I used customer service for the first time ever to find a book, and when he placed it in my hands, I *almost* jumped up and down with excitement. When I get around to blogging about Ann Patchett's Truth and Beauty, you will understand my excitement over Lucy Grealy's book.
