I absolutely have to get to Sit &#038; Knit tonight so I can do nothing but knit for three straight hours!<\/p>\n<p>The house is looking great, though, if you don&#8217;t count my craft room or the office.  Oh, and I need to go through the entire house and dust, vacuum, and mop.  But most of the clutter is gone.  I swear, I&#8217;ve thrown out more things in the past few days than I have in the entire time we&#8217;ve lived in this house.  It&#8217;s starting to get addictive, and I&#8217;m finding myself eyeing various things and thinking of finding new homes for them.  It&#8217;s kind of nice to not have every flat surface covered and every drawer and shelf stuffed.  Not that we don&#8217;t have a lot of excess stuff still&#8230;I straightened out the linen closet this afternoon and I swear the dish towels and sheets have been hiding in there multiplying&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, now that the bulk of the detailed cleaning is done I just have to maintain it for the next week &#8211; while making the cake and all the food &#8211; and by the day of the party I&#8217;ll just be able to relax and enjoy myself.  Right?<\/p>\n<p>I also took the time to make a massive number of mini pumpkin muffins this afternoon.  (Well, OK, I suppose 4 dozen isn&#8217;t really all that many, it just seemed like it because I was only expecting 2 dozen!)  They turned out really yummy!  I think I may add those to the menu for Carrie&#8217;s birthday party.  I just have to remember that they took 16 minutes (!) to bake, since I used a bread recipe and had to guess how long mini muffins should take.  (I would have thought closer to 12, but at that point they were still really gooey.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Get the Simpsons reference?)
