I am blessed w/the paper shredder within striking distance.

I just put my ccard statements, bank statements & paycheck stubs in a bag to be placed in the basement. 2 years worth. I'm surprised how much was simply this year. There is way too much paper in the world.

I threw out about 5 CDs that held duplicate information or earlier versions of things.

I also attempted to switch over to a handbag that mda bought me for x-mas, but it doesn't have the number of compartments I need in my compartmentalized brain: there's the car stuff, and the different cards (the new bag only has 3 slots for those), the wallet, the 2 outsides of my bag that hold, well, crap, but also a small bag w/my neice's postcards for sending. Oh, and my current bag hides tampons v.well. You open the big bag, and you'd be able to see those things a mile away. The big bag will be cool for special meetings, et al.

I'm boring myself w/this talk.

the Simpson

I saw the re-run of "Catch ‘Em If You Can," from 2004, in which Marge & Homer escape to Miami and are pursued by Bart & Lisa, which includes this great animation sequence. Very 1960's cool.

I'm sitting v. close to the monitor, "touch-typing" b/c I took off my glasses. I'm dyeing my hair (it washes out in 28 shampooes). Some auburny color, which I am wont to do. I'm waiting for the timer to go off in order to rinse, or else I'd pick up the phone & call my sister, the older one. I have a nephew, as of last Sunday (are we lame in this family, or what?). Anyway, his name is McCray (mac). 21", 7lbs, 7 oz.

Oh, and from the message on the answering machine (which is how I received this knowledge), he looks like a little old man. But then again, so did my neice when she was born.
