The Plan

Here's my favorite of the three excellent feet paintings I photographed today after teaching four (yes, four) classes in a row. It's by three-year-old Declan from the 10am class. We used yellow, blue, red and white tempera paint and painted barefoot. So much fun — and messy!!

OK, I have absolutely nothing to show for my cleaning efforts last night. In fact, it probably looks worse. I did change my sheets and hang up the last new curtain, but frankly, having my roommate not there this weekend just makes me want to do other things besides cleaning, like sing along with the Go-Gos 2-disc set at the top of my lungs, and chase Lois back and forth from the kitchen to the front room, then flop down on the couch and do things like read the Readers I have kept for the past three months.

But this weekend, I have many things planned, so I have to stay on track. MOST of the time, i.e., for the past six months, I have had nearly nothing planned, and just sit around and watch DVDs or work or something. But this one will be good, even with some work stuff peppered in — that is, if I can make it without getting sick or having some kind of too-busy meltdown:

Tonight:
Walk Lois
Laundry
Groceries
Bake pie (!) for tomorrow or start the potatoes or salad maybe...
Plan clothing for maximum cuteness and warmth (it is still 40° here)
Play with Lois
Go to Metro with Sheila to see the bands Loney, Dear (cute Swedes) and Low (cute Mormons)
Sleep

Saturday:
Early walk with Lois
Coffee with Tina
Brunch with my Dad (in town from Tulsa)
Frantically clean apartment and get ready
Walk Lois again
Cajun Dance workshop *with dating guy = fun!*
Walk Lois
Make dinner for dating guy at my place

Sunday
Lois to dog park or dog beach even if it's cold
Work training thing 11-3
Rodney Crowell at OTSFM (part of the Robbie Fulks Secret Country series, which I adore)

Have a good weekend everybody!
