Ice cream bowl the size of my head and so chea--OH GOD THEY UPPED PRICES?!? CHILDHOOD IS DEAD!!
First off, does anyone know the magic of Tom's Ice Cream bowl, aka the best diner/sunday shop/candy store/hot roasted nut cart in all Zanesville, Ohio/the world? http://www.tomsicecreambowl.com/ If so, testify! If not, rectify! For I received ten precious pieces of their candy in the Box of Shame, and I ate a White One (you know, that one) and about damn wept. Oh Tom's...
Also, CoMo peeps, remember how this was on the market forever? http://www.vrbo.com/387766#features We all love it, but how the HELL is it going for $225-$325 per night, $1100-$1300 Weekly? CoMo is NOT THAT GOOD! Also wtf the bedroom decorating? The rest is nice. Also is it REALLY only from 1935? Huh!
DID
LAST NIGHT:
--cleaned paintbrushes
--made good faith effort to call mom
--earlier: chased council tax before the 15th
--reorganized Master Agenda
--talked to Katy about dinner (her brother’s coming over)
--asked Katy about logistics for mending clothes
--reorganized baking cabinet: bottom shelf flours (grouped), middle shelf: small box decorating, big box assorted baking ingredients, top shelf: left side beans/lentils, rice, noodles; right side sugars (grouped)
--thought about what to put into jars--maybe nothing at the mo, because I’ve packed stuff tidily, but as post-holiday season restocking slowly happens, need will probably arrise
--bagged cookie cutters to put downstairs with other Christmas stuff--we don’t need to give them year-round storage space when there’s a big Christmas packed bag that’s headed for a plastic-lined bit of the basement floor. When we need them, that’ll be coming up anyway.
