Some Limited Success!

I defrosted the freezer last night, washed it out this morning, and managed to make and freeze tortilla soup, four pounds of 'sweet and sour kielbasa', and parmesan cheesy stuffed jumbo shells. That's a total of six meals, I think. Woot.
Spent awhile trying to find a decent version of a hymn on Itunes, to no avail. Everybody wants to sing like they're Beyonce, when all I want is something I can hum along with.
I found out that we have fleas in our carpet when RTHTG got up this morning; he's covered in bites. I got some de-flea spray and vaccumed out his bed, but if he wakes up with more bites tomorrow we're going to relocate to the In-Laws(God help us) until we can get it fixed. I checked the dogs with a wet flea comb, but there's not a bug, or a bit of bug poo on them. I'm going to call the Orkin guy tomorrow, to see if they can kill fleas.
Construction proceeds slowly, the guys didn't show up today, but I was assured they'd be done by Wednesday, so hopefully that'll work out. The guy at the liquor store remembered me and asked how the trip was, that was kind of nice. He has a new beard and appears to be working on a handlebar mustache.

I had a 'SUPERAWESOMEOMG' idea for a webcomic on the trip home, now I'm debating whether or not to put any effort into actually developing it. I may post a few half-assed sketches here just for fun.

Im trying to think of blog code-names for the kids. All I have so far is RTHTG for the youngest, and Ducky for the second youngest, because of their songs. Suggestions are appreciated.

Good on ya for all that cooking ahead! I'll try to Freepmail you the recipe for the lentil/sausage thing and any others I find. I thought #4 liked the Chihuahua song best? We'll give some thought to your request for supersecret blognames. Any news on the job front? Will Mr. Legs call to check, do you think?
Better go take your brother shopping before he pops a gasket.

POST THE PIC, for the love of macaroni! Do you even KNOW how awful most webcomics are? I'm STARVING for your art! Make it happen and become the next Pete whatshisname. Please?

I still like Rocket for da big boy, it's god such a cool feel to it. Might be too close, tho. How about Mina for the oldest? I know you were planning on using that one a long time ago, has it fallen nto disfavor? And for the next one...the Twin? Blondiekins is STILL talking about her.

Miss you bunches, you should totally post your art. Hope the fle sitch gets fixed posthaste.
