Red-y To Help
Beans and I got our mani/pedis last night. Well, I got a mani/pedi, Beans got just a pedi. Our toes are happy. I went with Dutch Tulips on the toes and a classic french on the fingers. To keep them looking good, of course, I can’t do any dishes for awhile. (Hint hint M!)

Home Sweet Electrically Powered Home
We have power!!!! After 8 days, and staying at two other houses (thank you Grandma Frank and Mom & Dad Z), we have a house in which everything turns on and runs as it’s supposed to. There is no sweeter sound than that of the air conditioner kicking on.

Ameren Angela
Stopped by the American Red Cross St. Louis Area Chapter this morning and donated a pint of my O negative blood. Ran into lots of old buds, and managed to successfully avoid my old boss which pleased me to no end b/c that would have been awkward, to say the least. It’s that whole, “I thought we were friends but turns out you were just kidding” thing.

We’re collecting collections
I’ve read a bit of a book my co-worker has sitting on her desk, called, “Living the Simple Life,” and it’s quite appealing. Especially the part about paring down the physical amount of stuff we own. The author made a reference to looking at just the stuff we plug into the wall, and then I started thinking that I could narrow that focus down to just the rechargables and it’s amazing. Here’s the list of rechargable things in our house:
1. My cell phone
2. M’s cell phone
3. My palm pilot
4. iPod
5. Lil’ Nikon point ‘n shoot
6. Big Dog Nikon D100
7. Battery recharger for batteries to be used in remotes, toys, radios, etc.
8. M’s laptop, when he brings it home

Diaperless and loving it!
Ahhh, back at work, and some semblance of normalcy. The power is on here, fully, and everything works. Well, at least so far. I just got here, though, so we’ll see how the day goes.

My neutral is loose
I’m able to update the blog again…from yet another computer. This time I’m at Mom and Dad Z’s, whom I have to thank for so many different reasons.

FYI: the title is to be sung to the tune of “Yes, we have no bananas.”
