Thinking inside the box: Four items



item 1. Little Omi loves to climb into this little soft storage cube. Sometimes she'll just sit there, other times she'll get out and then get back in again over and over. The other day she discovered she could also fit a bunch of blocks in with her, which was quite amusing. Last night I had a flash of an idea, inspired by this post at craftlog, to cover these boxes with this fabric. Another project to put on the ever-growing list...

item 2. This evening has been filled with organizing, paying bills, setting up online accounts so more bills can be paid online, and re-organizing Firefox bookmarks. So many blogs to read, so much fabric to look at, so little time to do this when you can't even find the things you want to look at in the jumbled mess of hundreds of bookmarks. Unfortunately, everything is now very tidy on my computer's desktop, but the actual desk the computer sits on is still a total mess, so from across the room it looks like nothing was accomplished.

item 3. Today we made these chocolate chip pumpkin muffins from angry chicken. Oh, dear, they are too delicious! If asked, I will categorically deny that I ate 4 of them for lunch.

item 4. In football news, we are quite depressed over the Sooners' upset today. It seems like this happens every year. They are woefully underrated by all the pre-season polls, then shine in opening games, making us think, "Maybe this is the year we go all the way and don't choke in the bowl game!" and then we lose in a horrible, gut-wrenching nail-biter, usually involving bad calls or trick plays. On the way to pick up Big Omi from work after the game, we noticed someone had put out a small, hand-written yard sign that read: "F you CU! And the Ref's, too!" It made me feel a little better.
