Today is Monday

It has been brought to my attention that I have not updated this blog in a few weeks. That is because, quite simply, things have been very dull.Of course, things have been dull here for quite some time, and it hasn't stopped me from posting about all of our glorious dullness.

This is what it looks like pretty much every day here. Eat, study, play, let the dog out; repeat. We've been getting lots of work done, much to the dismay of the children.

Every single morning, after breakfast, the children run off and hide in the far corners of the house. Every single morning, I track them down and round them up and start them on their studies. Every single morning, every single child lets out a long whine-"Awwww, why do we always have to do work in the morning!!"

You'd think they wouldn't be so surprised by this; like I said, we follow the same routine, every single morning. So, now you are up to date!

The only other thing we've been up to lately is buying a lot of stuff. This is my new oven, it arrived yesterday. I'm taking it for it's inaugural run with a Lemon Pudding Cake. The old oven (which was not that old, and quite expensive when I bought it!) was mostly broken for over a year, after having spent most of it's life mostly broken in some way or another. The plan was to sell this house, and let the broken oven be somebody else's problem, but since that is not happening as quickly as we'd hoped, and I absolutely could not live with the old oven for one more day, we got a new one.

This is my new guitar. My old one was not broken, but it was an entry level model and I was ready to upgrade. This one is pretty. I'm actually not sure yet if I like playing it better than the old one; I'm still working out some kinks in the set up, but it's pretty! I also got a pretty new strap and some other pretty new guitar accessory junk. Also in the new-stuff front, I got a new camera, that I've been wanting for quite some time. I didn't take its picture; I didn't want my old camera to be insulted by having to photograph its replacement.
