I took a long weekend off from blogging anywhere. I was a bit rundown, and needed to recharge. There was also the question of cleaning house which <del>had been ignored</del> needed to be addressed. I also managed to address some book folding and some shopping.</p>
<p>Wedding gifts do not purchase themselves. Ask any woman.</p>
<p>Today is April Fools&#8217; Day, and I find myself wondering why we designate only one day for that. In my opinion, designating a month for it is still not long enough. On the other hand, at least I don&#8217;t live in France and have to deal with someone trying to adhere a fish to my back. There is always a silver lining. In my case, the silver lining is usually aluminium. Which is fine, because it&#8217;s great for cooking.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a lot of rambling in my head today.</p>
<p>Actually, there&#8217;s a lot of rambling in my head <em>every day. </em>The sad part is, the absence or presence of booze doesn&#8217;t have anything to do with it. So I have that going for me, right? RIGHT?? Don&#8217;t answer. I don&#8217;t think my ego can take it. At least not until I&#8217;ve had my third cup of coffee. Which is probably the reason I ramble so much. Viscous circles, you know.</p>
<p><em>(I interrupt this not-so-regularly scheduled post while I take Son to get braces. Highlight of day: accomplished!) </em></p>
<p>So today finds me being a bit domestic, making braised chicken a la Provence, baking bread, organizing stuff to donate, and listening to Vivaldi, at least until Little One comes home and turns on <em>Futurama, </em>or some gameshow. All I know is she thinks she is master of the remote. So with that, I finish rambling and go off to finish making dinner while pretending the glass of water is a glass of wine.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not just good at rambling. I&#8217;m good at dreaming, too 😀</p>
