You, You Light Up My Bird Cage

The entire family is coming for Easter dinner.

What, you may ask, did I do today?

I put a lamp into a bird cage.

Had I only know that the top came off (it didn't used to, someone must have messed with it at another time and did not share this helpful tidbit with me) it would have gone smoother and quicker.

For the record (there IS a record, isn't there?) I vacuumed out all of my couches and chairs (found things that had been missing since, oh, say, Christmas? i'm happy to report that i found the missing 'y' to my joy.)

The new shower curtain for the pink bathroom came, and I immediately stopped everything and hung it up. It does look very nice. While polishing in there I also moved more stuff around. But, I'm SO over THAT bathroom and have moved on to the half bath off of the kitchen. All of the shiny-shimmery butterfly wallpaper is now gone. Well. The vinyl part is gone. The pasty part is still there, and will have to wait until the next time I have coffee with Daughter after 4:00 and am wide awake late into the night. Honestly, I like the color of wallpaper paste, I guess. It looks better than it did. Once that comes off, the underneath paint color is what can only be called "High Gloss 1960's Elementary School Hallway Green". Still. Better than the butterfly paper.

Jonge came tonight. He comes to stay with Pake, not me. But, while Pake was across the street buying treats, I did have to deal with a nasty diaper. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but my house has a laxative effect on people.

We watched the "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood" episode I had recorded from this morning. It was an opera. I LOVE Mr. Roger's, but those operas. I do not like those. This one was from 1984. I was convinced that I had seen EVERY episode of Mr. Roger's numerous times, but I had never seen this one. Hope to never see it again. But, it was all about grandparents, and we are all about that (which makes me wonder...did anyone see yesterday's episode? did mr. roger's REALLY call his grandfather 'ding dong'?)

So. Aside from having floors left to mop and vacuum, I think I got everything else clean. That leaves me tomorrow to make quiches.

Oh. I also closed all of my blinds today so I did not have to see the foul weather going on outside my windows. While they were closed, I dusted those.
