Nov. 26th, 2008 07:30 pmDay one of vacation involved spending a good chunk of the day shampooing the living room carpet. Day two and day three have been not nearly as productive, although I did at least manage to get to the grocery store, buy an 18 pound turkey, and not kill anyone in the process. Dinner tomorrow seems to have morphed into "dinner for 15". Aieee!
Still to do tonight: clean the fish tank, move all the crap out of the dining room and run the Roomba (sans kitty passenger) since it's getting too late to haul out the full-sized vacuum tonight, move one 6' table down from upstairs into the living room, figure out if I even have enough silverware for 15 people, figure out what else I forgot at the grocery store, and at least make the cranberry relish.
We're birdsitting a friend's budgie for the weekend, and he seems to be quite fond of Emma Shapplin and her "Etterna" CD. He's currently singing along quietly to "Un Sospir' di Voi"; it's pretty darn cute. Apparently less fond of The Beatles. Of course I'm also going to have to see whether he likes Siouxsie, on general principle.
