Signs of spring

You can tell the weather's getting warmer because I made the first batch of pasta salad of 2010.

My big task of the day (besides doing dishes) was updating a couple of web profiles. I did LinkedIn, and even applied to jobs through it. Then I went ahead and updated my OKStupid profile, although I'm not actively looking for anyone there. I figured it might as well be accurate.

I agreed to go over and make sure bigbrotherinlaw got lunch tomorrow -- he's laid up with cellulitis.

I tried to take the kid for a haircut, but did not realize that the place was only open until 4 on Sundays. If her dad doesn't get to it Monday or Tuesday, I'll take her on Wednesday.

Traded goodie bags with mhaille. She gave me two skirts, a pair of stockings, and a couple of cosmetics. I gave her a selection of mouse-proof Tupperware I wasn't using. They were the Modular Mates stuff I used to keep my dry beans in -- and I have switched to canned, because the small amount of money saved by using dried is offset by the number of batches I waste when I forget about them and burn them to the pot. No advice, please -- I KNOW about doing them in the oven, or the crock pot. I have once or twice managed to burn them to the crockpot. I like using canned beans and we'll leave it at that.

I think I left a load of laundry in the wash. I'll go shift that now.

It does, however, win Top Things eternaleponine Eats. Which is what matters around here. The kid was not enthusiastic, so I reserved one bowl of hot pasta and dressed it with marinara for her. Food for everyone!
