Sunday Report

Hello Friends. Reporting live from a wild Sunday in Northern California.

So far, so bad.

It is freezing (by Northern California standards)
and raining (so I guess it's not freezing)
and we don't have anything to do.

We began the day by going to church, which is rarely my first choice (if I'm choosing) but it gave me an hour break from the child and as an added perk, I learned a new and improved version of "Amazing Grace."

I made chili.

Nick proceeded to claim the afternoon for "brewing," which meant my senses were overwhelmed with barley and nastiness, making it impossible for me to nap when Charlie was napping. So I ate.

We FaceTime'd with Aunt Jenni, Mimi and Dana.

Side Note: We don't have cable, so NFC/AFC championship football wasn't really an option.

I had a moment of domesticity, but I had to refer to my fake friends on Pinterest, to find a killer homemade play-doh recipe, which I did and proceeded to stop at three grocery stores before I swallowed my pride long enough to ask a random shelf-stocker at SaveMart to help me find "cream of tarter" and he proceeded to take me to the dairy section because that is where "cream is found?"
It's in the spice section, just so you know.

We made said play-doh (see recipe below)

We played with it for all of four minutes.

Charlie ate my chili. He loved it.

Charlie took a bath, as a result of said chili, AND he ignored me.

The End.
