I'm happy...yet I'm aware of the ironic ramifications of my happiness.

Thing I learned today: it is possible to get a full-size ironing board into a beetle. You just won't enjoy it very much.

Actually, I'm deeply excited about the ironing board, excuse me, Ironing Station. It's deeply swanky, and I got it at Big Lots for less than half what Amazon wants for it. Understand, I sewed my wedding dress using only a 12x18" quilter's pressing mat, so this is a huge step up, and especially welcome considering that I have many many projects in my head right now.

Still, it's a little amusing that the things that have excited me most in the past week are a new refrigerator and a new ironing board. Gah. Am I a 50s wife all of a sudden?

Actually, the most exciting thing is that my balance is slowly returning to normal. I had a couple of wacky-shack moments today, but they passed pretty quickly. I'm still tired all the time, though, and my Saturday plans are probably too ambitious, in that they involve completely organizing the apartment.

A couple of blogs which have been entertaining me this week: One Good Thing and the rediscovered Mimi Smartypants. You know how sometimes you just forget about a great blog for a while, and then you're at home, sick with the swirlies and all you can do is sit very still at the computer and look through old bookmarks and you rediscover it and lose three hours reading the archives? There should be a word for that.
