Once Upon a Mattress

And once upon a box spring. I may out-boring myself with this post. You've been warned.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu...

Up until this weekend, Mr. Husband (who is 6'1") and I were sharing a full size mattress.

7QT: Summery Summary

Sorry about that title there.

1. New England is in a drought right now. I'm finding it hard to worry because rain and excessive humidity keep us indoors, and since our apartment doesn't feature a working outdoor water hookup, we follow all of the outdoor watering regulations without even trying.

We tried to put down grass seed. It looked great until the first hot day, and then the sun completely toasted it.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

I was updating the family calendar with doctor's appointments, rehearsals, concerts, and the like, and it occurred to me that we really only have a few weeks of winter left. For better or worse, the winter has gone by much faster than I anticipated due to many things, all good, bad, and ugly.

From top left, clockwise: ice on the inside of the front door, the worst day of winter, rags stuffed in the gap around the door on said day, and isn't New England wacky?

A not so ordinary day in the life...

My Monday this week ended very differently than it started. I guess it started at the same time Mr. Husband and I ended our Sunday, because instead of going to bed at a reasonable hour like sensible parents of small children, we decided to end our tour of the Star Wars prequels like crazy teenagers. What better way to bond with one's spouse than watch a movie where you're constantly shouting questions at the screen about plot holes and giant gaps in logic?

So, midnight: crawl into bed.
