The weather was cold, snowy, and dark.  I stayed home and worked on the last of my baby bibs.  I will post pictures of them soon.  I didn&#8217;t do any cleaning or decluttering.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday was kind of cold and grey but Mooch and I went to Keene to shop.  I bought $.99 washcloth cotton at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaels.com\/art\/online\/home\">Michaels<\/a>.  Mooch helped my pick out colors, so now she is going to get some new washcloths.  We also shopped at <a href=\"\">Borders<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bedbathandbeyond.com\/default.asp?order_num=-1&#038;\">Bed Bath &#038; Beyond<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.target.com\/gp\/homepage.html\">Target<\/a>.  While at Target Mooch&#8217;s best friend called (three times) and we made a plan to meet at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.margs.com\/\">Margarita&#8217;s<\/a> for dinner.  They picked up Lord S and we had a great time <i>to the max<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I went to the woo-woo doctor.  I love my woo-woo doctor.  She is great.  We talk about everything.  Yesterday&#8217;s topic was colleges.  Her daughter is a junior and she has just started looking.  I mean, we also talked about my woo-woo, but we talk about other stuff too.  She comes to see my plays, mostly Shakespeare, but she also saw me when I was the naked bride in a play about our local history.  She has been my doctor for about 5 years.  Some day I will have the courage to write about my history with her.  Not today.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I got a wild hair (hare?) and cleaned the kitchen.  I don&#8217;t like to clean, but I was on the floor with a cloth and spray cleaning the floor.  I did laundry and dishes and cleaned out under the sink.  Do you know we have TEN pairs of rubber gloves for hand dishwashing?  And 3 bottles of dishwashing blue stuff (like Jet Dry), 2 partial bottles of dishwasher detergent and 1 full one, 2 boxes of Swiffer cloths and a box plus of Swiffer WetJet cloths.  You would think I would have a really clean kitchen.  I also need to get rid of stuff from my pantry, maybe next week.<\/p>\n<p>The best news of the week is the tile guy is here!!  When we bought our house in June 2002 Lord S and my dad started changing a small extra bedroom upstairs into a 3\/4 bath for us.  They crashed the ceiling into the attic and got some plumbing started.  It has taken nearly 5 years to get us to the point where we could get the tile guy in.  The first few years, when I would say something about this, my dad would point out that they had replumbed and wired the house.  It escaped him though that they did that in the first 3 months we owned the house.  I used to have dreams that we had to sell the house and we hadn&#8217;t finished the bathroom so we couldn&#8217;t sell the house.  As soon as the bathroom is done we have a million other projects to do.  <\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have much of a plan for today, except more cleaning.  I will probably come back later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This has been a strange vacation week. It started off really crappy. The weather was cold, snowy, and dark.
