So. News of little import on varying topics.

Yesterday, I finally cracked and fixed a stupid document we use frequently that was long ago converted from WordPerfect to Word. I have dealt with it in a half-assed way before, but yesterday I gave it the full treatment, including fixing its stupid, stupid signature pages, getting the self-proof affidavit to fit on one page, and converting it to a Hot Docs document that will generate off my basic estate planning template so I hopefully will never have to look at this stupid thing again. So there.

Friday, Little Sister discovered her tongue. She would stick it out kinda slow, then pull it back in. Then stick it out and leave it out, like a cat that forgets to pull its tongue in after cleaning itself. Then pull it back in. Her tongue is surprisingly long and very triangular-pointy.

He had not been in the car since I dumped out the glove compartment looking for my insurance card for the tiny accident. Also, I pulled all the receipts from my wallet recently.

And there was still detritus from the move back there, if you can believe it. And info about the baby seat from when I installed it. And broken boards from tae kwon do. Stuff like that.

I found a 2 liter bottle of Dr. Pepper in the trunk. Wow. The abuse it had taken. There were intriguing striations in the bottle. I think it had been in there a year, at least. I didn't try to open it.

Still stuff to get out of the trunk, but in all, the car is much tidier.

In 20-20 hindsight, perhaps I could have done this before having
