Remember when I used to blog?!

Well, it was bound to happen... my brain would get too boggled with random, unimportant, useless (or maybe not), pieces of information that were begging to be released, and since this is my medium for such tidbits, the time has come for another random post.

I would love to post videos of my all-too-adorable daughters doing new and exciting things (like Kendal saying "I looooo youu" in the most adorable voice ever, and talking up a storm; or Amaya asking, ahem, very probing questions) But alas, I can't find the cord to my camcorder, or the cord for my camera's battery charger, or the cord to charge my phone. So. No pics, yet.

But here are some randoms:

a) it pains my soul that the Costco here does not sell delicious Naked orange juice. For a quick look at my feelings about Naked see this post.

b) I have found hard surface floors through the entire house quite delightful for spills and such, less enjoyable for footed jammies and socked feet.

c) Chocolate milk does not want to come out of kids' clothes, no matter how hard I try.

d) I have found a use for the Swiffer dry mop that may be even more exciting than its intended purpose:

It is a big flat surface on a long handle, which makes it perfect for killing spiders from a further, less nerve-racking distance. Particularly on ceilings, where former methods such as hitting with a shoe, required way too close contact and the likely possibility that I would miss, and it would fall, somewhere; which explains why I never could do that. For a quick look at my feelings on spiders- see this post.

e) secretly I like having to fit everything we own in smaller spaces, as it forces efficiency and organization- two things I love. Our home feels very cozy. I like it.

f) I might cook a real meal two days in a row next week, but don't bet your tax return on it.
