I thought I'd do a mid-day post. Not much going on around here but laundry and cleaning. I took Em's dress to a local dry cleaner today. They confirmed my fears about her dress. The pleats can't be pressed in once they've been pressed out. They do think they can fix the band on the bodice. That's what Emily wants done. So, I'll head back there in a while. They have a special if you bring in 5 items, and I've been wanting my kitchen chair pads cleaned. Also, the cleaner is in the same shopping center as the grocery store and I need to figure out dinner.

Fiwa asked about The Bucket List. It was good, but in retrospect, I wish I had waited to see it on DVD. I did write an e-mail to the corporate office of Muvico last night. I'd hate for what happened to us to happen to someone else. I'll let you know what happens.

While cleaning my room today, I had to clear the magazines off my bed to change the sheets. I started going through them, and making piles to throw away. I cleared out the stacks in my nightstands and closet. Why, oh why, have I kept two years of Real Simple? The recycle bin is now full, and I'll be giving away the new issues as soon as I'm done. It felt good to clean that up.

Well, time to look at cookbooks!
