Random thoughts and Little Things

– We’ve gone a week without air conditioning. Weather was nice enough and having the house open that long did wonders for getting rid of the random weird smells that build up in a house. Now if we can just get the kitty boxes to not smell, we’ll be doing great. Anyway, we had to turn the AC back on to deal with humidity. The carpets were starting to feel a bit too damp.

– The 3 movies, unlimited plan has the best ‘dollars per movie’ ratio at Netflix. You would actually come out a dollar and change ahead if you had two people, each with the 3xUnlimited than getting a single 6xUnlimited account.

– Downloading a new podcast’s catalog of ~40 issues at 3-40 minutes each eats through hard drive space fast. Especially when doing it on four new podcasts ‘just to try out’. Makes me happy to have a larger Ipod.

– Speaking of Ipods, I enjoy watching movies on it. On some mornings (weekends), Aleah will wake up if I get up… and promptly fall back asleep once I’m carrying her around. She’ll wake back up if I put her down, and repeats the process. So I’ve taken to watching a movie on the ipod while she sleeps on me. I’ve watched more movies in the past week or two than I have… um… in a few months.

– I should really keep away from camera lens reviews when I know there is a tax refund coming our way soon. So many other things that the money can get used for instead.

– Some days I think it would be cool to do a massive house cleaning, then hire a cleaning service to come out and do the detail work I usually don’t have time to get done. (baseboards, fans, mirrors, windows; that sort of stuff) I think that’s just about the only way we would reach that ‘really clean house’ goal these days.

– Pursuant to the above, I have way too much stuff for the amount of storage we have. Time to get a ladder and check out the attic!
