I did not log on to my computer ONCE yesterday! Amazing. I didn’t use it to check my email, read my RSS feed, or update my blog. I can do all of those from my phone, and I did use my phone for e-mail and my blog update on the diorama.
Why didn’t I use my computer at all? I had a super busy day! I woke up early, read my book, went to the gym at 9:30 (read my book all the way there and back!), came home, showered, left at 11:30 to baby sit. I babysat until 3ish, then I went to the Salvation Army where I got two white plates for food photography, a small one for desserts, and a large one for dinner. I also got a skirt that I’m going to make into a bag! They were having “Wacky Wednesday Family Day” where everything was 50% off, so I paid only $4.54 for all three items. Then, I went to the grocery store and bought stuff to make dip for Niles’ house. Then, I went home, made the dip, changed my clothes, and walked to the library (at 6pm). I read my book about 80% of the way, using the street lights. I had to tilt my book a certain way to get the best lighting, but it worked!
Once at the library, I read my book while waiting for my mom to get out of work, and then we went to Il Forno where we had dinner. I got Linguine and Broccoli Aglie Olie, and I asked for extra broccoli. You couldn’t even see the pasta because there was so much broccoli! But, after I ate most of it, there wasn’t enough broccoli. For left overs tonight, I’m going to make more broccoli to add to the pasta. Broccoli galore!!! (Bob wanted to take a picture of me and dad with our plates of broccoli. I asked for extra, dad did not.) Oh man, do I LOVE broccoli!!!
After dinner, I raced home, grabbed the dip from the fridge, and raced to Niles’ house. He called me twice and sent me a text wondering where I was! I got there JUST at 9pm, just as it was starting. Whew! I didn’t miss anything. Everyone loved the dip, and I made my parents a mini version in a ramekin so they could try it. After Lost, Niles helped me design my house a bit after I told him about my diorama idea. I think I want to invite him over to help me do it. We could watch a movie or something!
I came home at 11, and went to bed reading my book! I didn’t even touch my computer all day!
And I’ve just measured, and my living room (which I think is the perfect size for my mini house) is 12.5 feet by 18 feet. That’s 225 square feet. I’m off to look for a box that’s a similar size! I don’t have much time for construction today because I’m off to the gym before lunch, then I’m meeting a friend for lunch at noon (we’re going to the City Hall Cafe, and then walking up to the Rabbit Hole Book Store), and then I have to babysit again tonight at 6pm. It’s the mom’s birthday, so they’re going out to dinner! I’m going to have three crazy kids tonight, and have to put them to bed! Ohhhhh jeez.
