sierciaAnother quiet day. Little Miss slept in again, and WIley got up with her in the morning. I dozed a little longer, then read for a little while then joined them downstairs. Mostly hung around the house for today, with a quick detour to go pick up pictures, and buy more on-sale Christmas wrapping paper (Yay! I love 50% of sales - it's when you get to pay at least a little closer to actual worth, eh?)
Roasted a beast for dinner tonight, which was yummy. Hannah had her first taste of steamed fresh broccoli, and I'm sorry to say I don't think she's a fan. I don't think it was the taste that got her, but the texture. We did get her to eat a little bit of it though. And she liked the roast beast.
Then after dinner, I tackled the dreaded stitching corner organization. I'm still not done sorting all the thread and floss, but everything else is in good shape. I possess a staggering amount of floss, it's really quite amazing. So far, I have almost 70 colors sorted into their little baggies, and I don't think I'm even quite halfway finished. I think I'm driving Wiley slightly bazoo with all the plastic rustling as well, but he's being a good sport about it. Next week when my gift wrap storage boxes arrive, I'll get that organized and I'll be in better shape on a clutter level.
We watched A Beautiful Mind tonight, and I quite liked it. I'm still boggling at the thought of being schizophrenic - the idea of seeing things that you think are completely real is staggering to me. I think they did an excellent job of portraying that, without it seeming cliche or hokey. I'm letting the rest of the movie process still.

A Beautiful Mind

hallucinated characters were really more of a vehicle to get the point across of how REAL all the crazy stuff is. In fact, that was the one beef I had with the portrayl. That I thought that most people seeing the movie would not understand that. Although maybe the point was to have people muse about how unbelievable it would be to have things be so real, yet not. In which case, I guess it served its' purpose. Hmmm... longwinded comment....
