weapons of massdistraction

And we’re back. With much catching up to do work-wise and life-wise. Trying not to let myself get too distracted or led away on tangents but it’s hard. And my To Do list seems to have bloated up in my absence.

We didn’t end up locating the bronze Fonzie statue before we left the Cream City but we did enjoy the Mitchell Park Conservatory. And, though I am horribly conflicted about it, we also visited their Zoo. That was the happiest I’d seen the boy on the trip! Mostly because he acquired a brand new Mold-A-Rama. My little goth-ling got a bat. As soon as we returned home from our trip he ran around the house in a frenzy gathering up all of his other Mold-A-Ramas and they are all now on display together, on the top book shelf in the Lady Cave. Perfect spot to keep them safe.

Five good things:

• So excited about Cake Eater Bakery’s grand opening this weekend! We stopped by there earlier today and things are shaping up nicely.
• In other food news, a friend just pointed out the Taste of Beirut recipe blog. I’m putting their lentil kibbe at the top of my to-cook list.
• The crying wife blog. So odd. Wife cries at the ending of nearly every movie she watches. Husband records her crying jags.
• A little crude/crass for my tastes but I appreciate the sentiment.
• I know of many folks who are big fans of David Allen’s Getting Things Done methodology but honestly, this comic sums it up for me.

Now off to a nearly forgotten dinner engagement, if the kid cooperates. And soon to come? A visit with my CPA to have my taxes taken care of, another school tour, and dental appointments. I can hardly stand the excitement! But really, other things are afoot that are exciting.
