Giddy for the arrival of our final wave of stuff tomorrow morning--comfortable mattresses, a TV large enough for me to watch without wearing my glasses, iMac, books, and toys.
While my excitement for the mattresses, TV, and iMac is beyond words, I find myself wondering what the rest of it could even be. We've figured out how to live without it, so part of me is afraid it will just be clutter.
In other news, though it is sadly on a very small screen, I am presently watching The Fellowship of the Ring with Caleb and Maddie. I wore Katie down with my constant pestering and gained permission--more like a resignation. This is our fifth viewing in two weeks. It has been the dawning of a glorious new day.
And I get to answer awesome questions like "How come Frodo always runs toward the battle but then never actually battles?"
Over the course of about a month I gave them an oral retelling of the entire trilogy as a prelude to the movie. So I also get lots of these: "Dad, you said Galadriel's hair caught on fire, but really it just turned blue."
