Today has been filled with laundry.  I kind of said “eff it” last week when laundry day came around (it might have had something to do with not wanting to go get quarters) so today I had two weeks of laundry to do!  This means that there were seven loads of laundry waiting to be washed, dried, folded and put away.

Look at me typing away as if I had anything more to do with the washing and the drying than simply shoving the clothing into a machine and pressing a button.

I started at about noon.  I still have one load that has yet to see the inside of the washer.  Still though, after doing all of this laundry I feel like I got something real accomplished today.  Obviously my work schedule got thrown completely off course by appointments and book signings (and laundry) but on the Suzy Q Homemaker front I feel quite accomplished.

Is it weird that quite a lot of my sense of self worth comes from how much I get done on any given day?

In other news, I’m still mulling over my thoughts surrounding the Jen Lancaster book signing.  Don’t you worry–that event was crazy super fantastic fun and I am already looking forward to the next one.  I keep remembering stories that got told and having a good chuckle.  The thoughts that have surfaced have more to do with me, my goals, blah blah blah.  They are twirling about kind of half formed in my brain and not quite ready to be examined yet.  If my brain were a pensieve, I would have just added the thought spaghetti to the water.  I’m sure if I let it all cook together for a while I’ll get something coherent out of it.

Plus, somehow I cannot manage to think deep thoughts and do laundry at the same time.  It’s probably because having to get up to switch the loads out every thirty eight minutes is not exactly conducive to real thinking (or working really).
