Happy Birthday to Uncle Al! Happy Birthday to Uncle PAT!!!
I don't have much to say for today. Just:

• I'm obsessed with buying a refrigerator and a washer & dryer. If I'm online, I'm either checking the possibilities on craigslist, or clicking through Lowes.com, Homedepot.com, or Sears.com.
• It felt great to get rid of excess kitchen plastic, though I haven't obsessed over Bisphenol enough to reject plastic completely (see lifelessplastic.blogspot.com)
• The minivan could very well be hurtling through space on its way to Jupiter right now, for all we've heard from Kendall Ford's service department.
• T has an 'American Girl Mystery' birthday party to attend Friday night... she has to dress up like a Victorian-era orphan and act out a mystery play with 8 other dressed-up girls. So I'm obsessing over her costume.
• We close the house deal in four days.

Oh, and food has started tasting good again. Specifically, I'm liking curry rice, Ibarra hot chocolate, Earl Grey tea, sliced tomatoes, Odwalla bars, and orange juice. Tomorrow I may get out the tukaayuks...
