It was a day...

I love the peaceful feeling of the first snowfall.  Nothing stuck (despite Michael TAUNTING the powers that be... I will have to have a talk with him about that) so it was just pretty while it was falling.  I don't look forward to the hassle of dealing with snow that sticks, though.

In honor of the first snowfall (and because dinner plans had hinged on me having made pasta last night and us having leftovers tonight, but instead we had the leftovers last night and didn't have time to make the pasta tonight) we had soup with dinner - carrot/apple/ginger soup which is supertasty.  Unfortunately, and I have no idea how this happened because my back was turned, TRex managed to spill her entire bowl of soup all over herself, and it was still pretty hot.  So there was a mad dash to get her out of the soup-covered clothes and underwear (she didn' thave any pants on, because she never has pants on if she can help it) and into the tub to get cool water on the affected areas.  Thankfully the soup wasn't hot enough to burn her badly - by the time she got her real bath, her skin was barely even more pink than usual.

After bath the kiddo got a haircut.  Thank heavens for curly hair that is very forgiving of not perfectly even cuts!  I think it will be pretty cute - I'm letting her bangs grow out and they are in an awful getting-in-her-face stage, but there's nothing a haircut can do about that.

Having finished coding the latest batch of data yesterday, I started mucking around with it in Numbers today.  Until I decided I needed to sort it.  After that it all went downhill, because no matter WHAT I do, I can crash Numbers by asking it to sort the data.  I've posted a question on the Apple support forum and I'm sure I'll get yelled at for treating Numbers as if it were Excel (this seems to be a trend on that particular forum, which is quite different than the usual tenor of the Apple support forums).  For the time being, I exported to NeoOffice and sorted there, but I'd prefer to do everything in one application.  (I know, I'm SO DEMANDING.)

Oops. I photoshopped.

(M is currently working on a lecture entitled "how I stopped worrying and love the bug".  Hence, the art.  It needs a little more cleaning up around the edges, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out!)
