Today has been one helluva boring, but typical day. The alarm went off at 10:30 (shut up). I snoozed for 30 minutes until The View came on (the two stars of Bend It Like Beckham – Praminder Nagra and Keira Knightley – were on!). Made coffee and got dressed during commercial breaks.
I chitchatted with my mom while she fixed the daycare kiddies lunch. I was feeling especially industrious, so I cleaned up the kitchen during and after the feeding of the kiddies. And I went and brought the bin in after the garbage truck came by. I put salt down on the steps in the back of the house. I kept an eye out for my mom’s new-to-her armoire so as to intercept the delivery guys because my dad doesn’t know the armoire is coming.
The kiddies had salisbury steak, wide egg noodles, and green beans for lunch. I ate up leftovers (after mom had her fill), mainly to spite dad because he always filches lunch without “earning” it (but only when he likes what the kiddies are having, he won’t touch fishsticks) and never says thanks, never checks to make sure mom ate first, and he’ll even go downstairs (where the kiddies are) to get it when he would never otherwise set foot near them.
Delivery guys never showed (later found out they’re coming tomorrow between noon and 2). I settled in for my afternoon on the internet. Checked all my emails, did some job-looking stuff, flipped through my blogroll, checked all my websites, checked all my accounts. Now I’m weeding through a bunch of stuff I wrote down with the intention of posting here and watching the news.
I have to make sure someone tapes 24 tonight so I can watch Cher. (BTW, Sarah Wynter – Kate Warner from 24 – was on Leno last night and she was too cute! And Australian! Didn’t know that.) My mom mentioned corned beef, so now we’ll spend the evening longing for and talking about a trip to Bread Basket Deli but not actually go. I’m going to get my shake out of the freezer now.
