– Beany must have the best life ever. She has a warm house to live in, gets to cuddle with her favorite person (me) even when it’s inconvenient for that person, she has a ridiculous assortment of toys, she gets to go outside when it’s nice (but doesn’t have to sit out in the cold or worry about getting hit by cars), and she gets to lick out the bowl when I’ve finished with my yogurt. Yep. The best.
– I’m excited to go to the cabin this week, even though it’s going to be cold out (but I’ll be indoors, so whatever). It’s my mini holiday, except I plan on getting some work done, because I might as well. But I now have three books to read: Dawkins’ latest, Proust Was a Neuroscientist, and Oliver Sacks’ Musicophilia, which I just picked up from the library today (it was on hold for me). Reading!
– I found out this afternoon that Elvis Costello will be appearing on the February 4th performance of Prairie Home Companion. They’re screening it live at cinemas across the country (I think across the country), but I swooped in and got myself a fifth-row ticket for the actual performance. Hooray! I’ve come to the conclusion that, when going to shows you’re really excited about, it’s almost better to go solo, because you can get a better seat. I assume he (Elvis) will be playing some of his new bluegrassy stuff, since that fits in with the tone of PHC. I got that new album for Christmas and am loving it much more than I expected to.
– Oh, I’m also hoping to do some drawing while I’m at the cabin. I’d love to do another downloadable something, like the paper house pack. Would you still be interested in paper houses, even now that the holiday season has passed? They wouldn’t be wintery; I’d like to have one with a little garden, and perhaps a school house. Who doesn’t like useless papercraft, right?
How about some Spring paper houses? We have enjoyed the winter ones I bought from you – maybe we need some without snow! That reminds me it is still on my to-do-list to do photos of the houses I made with my son from your PDF – will do it and link to you later this week. My friend’s 5 year old also made one and loved it – then she was heartbroken because she sat on it!
That cereal looks really good. What kind is it?
Papercraft! Papercraft! Yay! I also still need to take pictures of my winter houses, but I am raring to do more.
