But before all that she went to work at 7:00 in the AM to prepare for Class Signup Day at the BF. Around 8:00 I uploaded all of the classes to the website, and around the same time a housekeeper showed up from Dana's Housekeeping. Visit one of three, courtesy of Viki.
She cleaned the kitchen & bathroom, as well as some of the living room, while I worked on marking the rapidly-filling classes as full. She left shortly before noon.
Sometime during all that, the escrow company called to say that all the T's had been crossed and all the I's dotted, and that the house was now officially filed as being ours.
I went and got a sammitch from MSMII for lunch, then I went and made an appointment for a haircut. Then I swung by Tricky's Pop Culture Emporium, a place for nerds run by a nerd. Melissa had gotten me a gift certificate there (the only gift certificate he'd ever made, actually). I ended up buying a Barbie doll. The Harley Quinn Barbie doll. I couldn't resist. Oh, and I also picked up a good-condition Soundwave with included Ravage (though no Ravage accessories).
Then I went over to the Tarbets and dropped off their cheese ball. I couldn't go in because Linnea's folks now had that awful stomach flu that's going around.
Eventually Carrie came home around dinnertime, and we went immediately to Trader Joe's and then Safeway for party supplies. I also stopped at the liquor store next to Safeway.
We got home, and after putting the groceries away the sicky li'l Carrie crawled right to bed. I made us some scrambled eggs for din-dins, with some ice cream for dessert. Carrie put on some Sweet Valley High and fell quickly to sleep. Good God! Sweet Valley High is awful! It's got high-school drama student-level acting all throughout it. There isn't a single good actor on the whole show. It has that fascinating train-wreck feeling going on. Every few seconds I was just stunned by how absolutely horrible everything about it was. That Hiam Saban, he sure knows how to make quality shows!
