i've been instant messaging my friends a lot lately. it's fun! my friend alison introduced me to this site called meebo where you can create an account and log on to half a dozen different instant messengers, like AIM, icq, google talk, etc. you can instant message all your buddies from all your different IM accounts on the same screen. pretty neat! it's a bit easier for me than talking on the phone, sometimes, because if i need to do something with the kids i can just change my status from "available" to "be right back" or whatever, and walk away from the computer.

not that i want all of my interactions with people to be electronic. it's just nice right now, while we can't really get together with any of our friends since we are incubating this nasty cold virus! blech!

let's see, what other mundane things can i blog about... for dinner tonight, i prepared turkey meat loaf with scalloped potatoes and green beans, and i made a vanilla cake with strawberry frosting for dessert. tomorrow night, i think i'm going to talk josh into making some more of the mouth-watering butter burgers he made a couple of nights ago. the name is pretty self explanatory, but you take some hamburger, flatten it out and smush a little pat of butter (this is not the time nor the place for "better than butter" or "smart stick" or whatever; use BUTTER, babe) into the center of it, place some more hamburger on top, and press the sides together forming a patty. try it, it is awesome.

micah's cough is so much worse at night. she is fine all day, playing and in a great mood, and when she lies down to go to sleep at night, her chest and throat are viciously attacked by evil mucus. rowan coughs at night too, but not nearly as much or as badly as micah. i thought their coughs were sounding better today, though. rowan did something with the nasal spray, i can't find it anywhere. he hates it, so i guess he hid it somewhere. : )

there's a huge pile of laundry on the sofa that needs folding, and i was going to sit and watch a movie while i folded it. but the DVD player in the living room is broken, so i'm using that as an excuse not to fold the laundry.Link
