so... my sister and i have had a great day!
we cleaned house for, oh, about 3 hours: mopping, dusting, vacuuming, de-cluttering, etc.
thennnnn, we began packing for our trip to Florida next week! yes, just the 2 of us are vacationing for about 3 days at the beach... and will come home
brown and beautiful
(ok, well, hopefully we'll be slightly tan)

as the sun set, i made homemade lasagna (which i just pulled out of the oven). once it was baking, dad and i made a quick run to the library where we rented an Agatha Christie movie, "The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim".
now the house is clean, the soft candlelight is glowing, and the aroma of hot lasagna is wafting through the kitchen and family room...
so tonight we'll have a murder-mystery dinner-and-a-movie night!
au revoir!
