Holy Long Day, Spiderman.

Okay, here's a list of events du jour:

1) got up and sat around for eleven minutes. Because my mom called. Because Beanie missed his flight home.

2) threw on clothes, drove .7 miles, and spent three hours putting sheet music into corresponding file folders. SUCKVILLE.

3) picked up Husband, met Garen and Kary at the Methodist bookstore, bought five books for Sunday school, one book for laughs, and a "mystery box" for Husband. opened said box in the parking lot. danced around for a minute with the excitement of the mystery box contents. all books, verrrry interesting.

4) ate bread and pizza.

5) went to Border's to buy a bible with Garen and Kary (and Husband). picked out four books while they whiled away an hour looking at bibles. slipped away with Garen to buy Starcrack at adjacent Starcrack.

6) gave FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME (The Secret Garden) and bible to Garen, which made me so so so so so so so so so so happy. drank coffee.

7) drove to Chattanooga* to pick up bebe. enjoyed eight minutes of drive, spent rest of the 43 minute drive arguing with assholes customer service representatives of Delta. henceforth to be called deltassholes.

8) spend eleven minutes (post-pee) in company of Kim and two of the greatest kids I am related to (and know) and bebe. laughed at all of them. enjoyed them.

9) drove home, talking to bebe the entire time, while he parroted everything I said ("pretty factory", "pretty lake", "ooh, pretty river", "truck!", "train", "opa", "mawmaw", "daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy".

10) woke up daddy.

11) cleaned kitchen, including sweeping and mopping (who knew?! I have a mop!), fed bebe leftover yankee food (beef and noodles, yum, actually), followed by ice cream. bebe drank the dredges of the ice cream. decided I should still wash that dish, though the sparkle of it would only be rivaled by that of a good dog.

12) bathed bebe. rolled eyes at Husband who took a muscle relaxer (two, actually) for 'sore arms'.

13) cleaned bebe's room while bebe ate yogurt. Husband stayed in the kitchen and wiped bebe's face, but did not remove bebe from high chair. probably a good call.

14) read 6 bedtime stories, including the entire Richard Scarry collection. Bebe pointed out Pawpaw on each page that featured a truck, tractor, or any kind of large machinery. Pawpaw's character is occasionally a cat, but usually is a pig. Please don't tell Pawpaw.

15) applied (liberally) bebe version of vick's.

16) smooched and hugged four "babies", including a glow worm, a giraffe (well, duh!), and a cabbage patch kid. cabbage patch kid would not remove his paci for the kissing. verrry irritating.

17) smooched and hugged the sweetest little boy in the whole wide world. wound up lullabye light box and walked out to exactly ZERO screams, cries, etc.

18) made sure Husband was conscious, and left him in charge. drove to WalMart.

19) bought thread, safety pins (200!), and dish soap. am a wild, wild girl, am I.

20) SECRET PROJECT-ED for two hours while listening to BOORRRRRRING crap on HGTV. was too lazy to change channel because don't know how to figure out what is on on the tv that doesn't have the "guide" option provided by comsuck.

21) typed ridiculously long, boring list on blog, twittered, and decided that showering hasn't happened yet, so it might as well not now. listened to cat purr, and opened a new book and a diet coke. gave self a high five for having a pretty wonderful day.

only it would have been better if Beanie were home...
