Slow Day

Yay, me, I did a few things around the house today. Like list a bunch of my books for sale at Amazon.com, read blogs, read emails, watched Eragon (finally,) and baked brownie cookies.

And you know what? That was just enough.

The rain moved in and gently drenched everything again, so hopefully this drought is coming to a close and I can finally light a bonfire in our lakeside fire pit without the neighbor calling the fire department on us again. (Don't ask.) At least it wasn't a snowstorm like one of my friends is experiencing on her trip to Massachusetts.

I also moved more books from around the house to our new library location. Then I stood back and analyzed the science section again, only to realize it wasn't just so. I was in the process of rearranging the botanicals apart from the horticulturals when...

What? You don't do that? Oh, never mind.

...when my sweet honey came downstairs and reminded me that until we get the special plug installed upstairs, the tanning bed has to be plugged in BEHIND the science section.

So, we stripped the books, being careful to keep them in order (!) and slid out that bookcase just enough to plug in the bed. Mr. Fix-It wanted to drill a hole in the back of the case (!) for the plug, but I nixed that, reminding him that this was just temporary until we get the upstairs done.

Now we have an incentive to get to work. Even more so than before because my science bookcase is not in line with the others.

And that just won't do.

No, really, I'm not that anal retentive...

I don't think. Stay tuned.

PS. To my book club friends: True to my absentmindedness this week, not only did I forget karate and gymnastics, I forgot book club last night, too.

Sigh. Sorry. Wanna cookie?
