I so totally rock. Really. I do.
I decided on a whim to take Charlotte up to Toronto to see a concert. Beachfest, a huge free concert event that happens every Labor Day, sponsored by a local Toronto radio station. It's fun, but it's a little inaccessible because they hold it at a city waterfront beach park that's on the Metro line and really doesn't have any parking. So, I went online and found us a hotel room for the night that was within walking distance of Sunnyside Park. It was a little pricey (because it was a Sheraton right on the waterfront) but I figured it'd be a fun treat.
So, now Charlotte's home and today was her first day back at school. The real world closes back in. Soon she'll be sick of me asking her if her homework is done, and is she ready for that test, and clean your room already. But for now I'm the best mom in the world. ;-) That's good enough for me.
Oh! And! My mom gave me an early birthday present...a Dyson vacuum cleaner! OMG I've always wanted one...my Kirby is an antique and I vacuum every day, sometimes twice, because of the dog and the cat. Anyway I've been sucking hair up all over my house all day and playing with the attachments and it is SO NEAT. It doesn't smell like dust at all when I use it and it's so easy to empty...no more bags! And the hepa filter totally does the job. Usually I sneeze my ass off when I vacuum but not with the Dyson! That thing is made of awesome. Am I getting old because I plotz over vacuums? Ah heck, I don't care. It's very very cool. :-)
And the Chinese Lantern Festival has completely tweaked my dragon plaque idea muse yet again...sketches are happening at an incredible rate! I'll share soon.
