This Day, I

• brought a bright yellow bathmat to add a little zestiness.
• learned how to use Google Reader and gave up Bloglines forever amen.
• discovered a most scrumptious looking apple dumpling recipe I'm going to have to try on Rob because apple pie is his most-favorite of all time but look at that amazing crust on this apple treat, it has to a bazillion times better. (Click on pic for recipe if you dare).

• looked into the details of taking Liam and Leila to South Carolina for a fall family reunion. (Yeah that I am finally taking the plunge but boo that Luke and Rob won't be able to go. Luke and plane rides won't quite be a jolly combo for a little while yet.)
• picked up, scrubbed, washed, bathed, changed, fed, cooked, tickled and read to.
  
• went to the gym for a first real workout since Liam joined us (after kiddie bedtime). Whoo doggies -- why oh why must we have mirrors on every wall? Okay, never mind the apple dumplings with -- count em-- two sticks of butter *sigh*.

As promised, the finished hat in both grumpy and non-grumpy versions:


Good night.
