In spite of a rotten cold, which has left me voiceless, full of snot, and coughing every now and again since Friday, I feel like I’m waking up again from the pregnancy-slumber. \u00a0Finally! \u00a0(Oh, and I’m definitely on the mend now, feeling much better today!)<\/p>\n

Yesterday I commandeered the car, and then visited so many shops I lost count, searching for a lot of odds and ends that are on the to-buy list.<\/p>\n

Today I stayed home, but also chipped tons of stuff off the to-do-at-home list. \u00a0I potted plants (into pots I got yesterday) in an attempt to rescue the parsley, basil and mint we got started way late this summer because it’s getting cold<\/em>\u00a0outside again. \u00a0Must be this thing they call ‘fall’.<\/p>\n

Then I attacked our linen closet (don’t ask) before finally venturing into Bjarki’s room, which is in need of a MAJOR stuff reorganization. \u00a0The room has been a disaster area for most of the summer, but a couple of days ago, Anna and her friend ‘cleaned’ it up in exchange for a sleep-over on Friday (they did this unasked, and pumped us for their reward after the fact!). \u00a0By ‘cleaned’ I mean that all the stuff disappeared off of the floor (and they vacuumed!!), but it mostly got randomly thrown into the various toy-bins.<\/p>\n

So, now we have a room that is still essentially drowning in toys, but the toys are all jumbled up, making play difficult. \u00a0Which brings me to this afternoon’s project: making labels for the Ikea-toy-bins. \u00a0This has been on my to-to-list for about half a year, but I finally bit the bullet and got started. \u00a0Here are small snapshots from today (not all are in their finished state, but this should give you (and me) an idea):<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Yeah, yeah, the ‘white’ background is not equally white everywhere, the letters aren’t the same size etc. etc., but this is the result of a quick photo-hackjob plus a super-quick picasa-photo-editing hackjob.<\/p>\n

The next step will be to print these out tomorrow, and see what they look like on the bins with respect to size, colors etc. \u00a0It’s a work in progress! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
