About skipping Astronomy

I may skip class today. I have so little free-time these days and so much to do in it! Instead of washing dishes this afternoon I walked down to ~ Grocery Outlet, bargain market ~ (which I always sing to the tune of their radio ad) and picked up more of the boxes we bought one of (as a tester) when we first saw them the other day.

Made in the USA, sturdy, clean-looking and a handy size for cheap; my original intention was to have many stacked on one another in the closet, so I felt I should go snag all the ones I wanted before they were gone, as happens with G.O.b.m. You remember my organizing dream of a few weeks back? Well this is the beginning of it's reality, on a small scale.

As for skipping class. I really do need to do those dishes and clean up the kitchen, and then I can study for my quiz until class at 5:30 this evening with plenty of time. Right? Right. Denial activated!

I'll leave you now with this picture of my nightstand.

I walked into the nursery on Sunday to find a tiny, huge-eyed, curly-haired Jacey, silently holding out (in two hands) a miniature bundle of flowers she had been waiting to give me.

You'd have to know Jacey's particular funny personality and face to imagine just how ridiculously heart-melting the situation was. But maybe you can imagine, approximately.

And the rest of the morning went much the same.

P.S. After Tom read (I have to admit, surprisingly) good reviews, Tom and I rented Tangled and really liked it! It was very reminiscent of the "old" "classics": Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast (and Sleeping Beauty, but did anyone ever really watch that movie?) and we laughed out loud several times. The music was its only real weakness (which is too bad for a musical-lover like me); though, I actually really appreciated Mandy Moore's voice in this context.

We'll probably add this one to our massive collection someday. Two thumbs up.
