6:41am, Bathroom: Getting read for work
7:12am, Bedroom: Dressed and ready to go. And...wow. Our bedroom looks like it's a mess: dog beds and lamp cords and hoodies laying about. maybe I won't take pictures in here any more...
7:23am, Family Room: Jinx is guarding my purse, waiting for it to move so he can flop back down on the desk. I also put a post-it on my purse reminding me to bring my baby shower gift to work for a co-worker. Even putting it right BY my purse doesn't mean I'll actually remember to grab it.
7:35am, Division St: Walking to the el. It's another gloomy, gray day.
8:16am, My Desk: I stopped off for a couple things on the way in: a baby shower card, breakfast, pretzels, and a diet coke. The necessities.
10:22am, My Desk: Quick stop by facebook to post the hamster video. The song has been stuck in my head for a couple days now.
12:02pm, My Desk: Origami calendar time! Today was an angelfish.
3:39pm, Conference Room at Work: We had a baby "sprinkle" for a co-worker (a sprinkle is a smaller shower that's just for necessities like baby wipes, diapers, and things like that. It's usually for those that are having second (or third, or fourth) babies)
6:25pm, Bedroom: Laundry day. Oof. It's been WAY too long since I did the wash.
7:00pm, Kitchen: Dinner time! As things are chugging away in the laundry room, I got started on dinner. I attempted to make risotto for the first time and ended up cooking the onions and garlic a little too much, but as I added the chicken stock it was getting a little better.
7:27pm, Kitchen: Dinner time! Breaded chicken with leaks and risotto. It all turned out pretty well, considering the potential risotto failure from about 30 minutes ago.
8:42pm, Bedroom: As I was folding load 3 of 4 of the laundry, Sadie jumped onto the bed to lay next to Jinx who was sacked out on my robe. Since Jinx is not too fond of Sadie, I was surprised that he didn't run off when she got up on the bed with him. Luckily the camera was close so I could capture this rare moment of peace between the two...although you can see that Jinx is keeping his eye on the dog, just in case.
And that's it! No Marbles pictures today, unfortunately. Most likely she'll show up in next month's group of pics!

I love making risotto, but usually add the onions and garlic to the vegetables I stir fry on a lower heat, rather than the high heat of the rice in the saucepan. It helps avoid burnt garlic tainting the rice!
Sorry for the delay - there was jetlag-induced insomnia, work, then lots of sleep and NaNoWriMo and somehow time's flown. I'm catching up though!
