Read on and see for yourself. <\/p>\n<p>I had so little to do at work today that I went through and cleaned out our two cabinets full of archived marketing materials. Then I came home, put the laundry in the dryer and fell asleep on the couch. I woke up only because the dryer was beeping, just as Anders came home from getting his hair cut. <\/p>\n<p>I sat at the kitchen table with my chin in my hands and bemoaned the fact that I didn&#8217;t have any ideas for making dinner until Anders caved in and made macaroni and meatballs, with a side plate of sliced veggies. We&#8217;ve been buying this new type of meatball, called <i>Farfars K\u00f6ttbullar<\/i> (Grandad&#8217;s meatballs) and they are capital-D delicious. Karin still isn&#8217;t home; she went to Lomma beach today with friends. It was HOT today and my hair reacted predictably. It looks TERRIBLE. I am so glad my hair appointment is tomorrow; then Anders won&#8217;t be the only fresh-cut looker in the house.<\/p>\n<p>I let the neighbor&#8217;s cat in and petted her but then I abandoned that to write this post and browse new music on Spotify. New music by some artists I really like: score! I moved a bunch of blogs that I used to love to a separate list on my sidebar today, too&#8230;the ones who haven&#8217;t posted in more than a year and a half. It&#8217;s a depressingly long list. I miss the good old blogging days when everyone kept us up to date on their lives. <\/p>\n<p>No wonder no one comments on my posts. They&#8217;re not online anymore. *sigh*<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m reading the third book of Ken Follet&#8217;s Millennium trilogy. He&#8217;s definitely not the best writer, but now I want to see the end of this. The first book covered the lead-up to and WWI and the second book covered the inter-war period and WWII. This one starts in the early 60&#8217;s and covers the Cold War. I&#8217;m reading about the Cuban Missile Crisis now, which I really didn&#8217;t know much about. I think I&#8217;ve always had it confused with the Bay of Pigs incident, but they were two separate Cuba-related crises. Anyway, it&#8217;s a big-ass book and I need to get through it because I still have to read the book for book group at the end of this month.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all I can think of, right now. See? Scintillating doesn&#8217;t even begin to cover it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am scintillating. Read on and see for yourself.
