As Promised
Posted by RobinMar 31
It’s been a quiet weekend. Well, not so much quiet as anti-social. I haven’t been out of my house, except to let the dogs in and out, since about 4 PM Friday. In that time, no one has been in my house except the three of us who officially live here. Unheard of! That’s probably why I’m wide awake at 2 AM, feeling a bit discombobulated.
I cut my finger on Saturday. Not while embarking on the cooking you can read about on that other blog. Nope. I cut it on the edge of a mirror while transporting homemade pho to my deep freeze. That’s about as exciting as things got.
We had a family event today, making homemade dog biscuits for the dear folks who’ve bought them to help the Greater Akron Humane Society. By “family event”, I mean I turned on the mixer and delegated the other biscuit-making tasks to Brian and Clara Jane.
Speaking of Kristina, today was her birthday, so it seemed like a good idea to spend the day baking dog biscuits and knitting kitty toys for her fundraiser. Clara Jane thought it would be a good time to favor us with a performance of one of Kristina’s favorite songs. I present to you, Clara Jane’s rendition of Wilco’s “Heavy Metal Drummer”. I’m sure things will get more exciting on Tuesday, when she recreates this performance at her church-sponsored daycare. Enjoy!

Yes, that is my favorite Wilco song- EVER! I’ve been playing the video (and dancing) at work. Woohoo Clara Jane!

I’m at work at the reference desk and thus cannot listen to Clara Jane but will as soon as I get home tonight.

Rockstar! Count me in for some dog biscuits. No rush, as I don’t have dogs.

That is one fantastic cover! “I miss the innocence I’ve knowned.” Love it!
P.S. I am “following” you on Twitter now, whatever that means.
