fleaYesterday we ran up to Richmond to visit Uncle Billy, Crazy Aunt Nancy, and Grandma Debbie, who came down from Annapolis where she is helping Sampa while his wife has her hip replaced. Boy do I have some kooky family members, and Crazy Aunt Nancy (who is my great-aunt by marriage and not a blood relation) takes the cake. We didn't get lunch until past 2:30, but it was very good when we got it. Casper behaved very well and Grandma Debbie brought her an old school Fisher Price Little People mini-bus and a pull train. It was a nice day - long - mr. flea had been up until 2:30 am and we didn't get home until 10:30. mr. flea talked Macs with Uncle Billy (who is 80) and Grandma Debbie (who is, if you haven't gathered, my mother) and I listened to Crazy Aunt Nancy talk. One day is enough. I finished binding Casper's quilt in the car so I can now start the chair slipcovering project.
Today we went out to Elmo's for breakfast (yay chocolate chip pancakes and Casper saying "boo see" for booster seat). Then to grocery store, then home, mr. flea went to work, and I folded and put away 2 loads of laundry, washed and hung a 3rd load, washed a 4th load which I must now go put in the dryer, changed the sheets and towels, vaccuumed the living room and dining room and breakfast nook. Still to be done: hard-boil eggs and peel carrots for the week, cook dinner (quick-ass chili), clean kitchen (minimum: dishes, counters, vaccuum; ideally: mop the floor which is desperate for it, clean out bins at bottom of fridge). That will probably be the limit of my powers though heaven knows other things need to be done.
Oh, I forgot - wanted to write about Casper's two funny portmanteau words:
1. "eego" - means "here you go," used when handing something to someone. "eego Daddy," with offer of a limp scrap of apple peel fished from her mouth.
2. "oh-won" - means "other one." Example: "oh-won shoe" means "you just took off my left shoe, now please take off the right as well." Unfortunately sounds a great deal like "Ellen" so you have to be attending closely to figure out what she means, since she talks about Ellen a lot too.
