Finally Someone Making Sense
I stumbled on Monolithic.com when I was looking for studies done showing the value of putting high heat capacity inside your house, rather than outside (brick house), like most people do. I found that information, and make sure to click to the next image if you follow that link.

And it looks like I've only scratched the iceberg, to mix metaphors. After reading the intro paragraph of R-Value Fairy Tales I realized this is something that I should share with others.

Though, hey, I have no intention of living in a dome home. How do you hang large pictures on the concave walls?

Houseyness
Alison and I painted the triangle wall last night, then wrapped nearly everybody's Christmas present. We also wrapped the 64"x44" canvas I recently made so it would look like a big present hanging on the wall. We didn't have a good bow for it though. The sheer green ribbon that Alison had wanted to use went brown with the red background.

No Mommy
I fly solo with Nina longer than usual today. Rather than Alison getting home at 5:20ish, she thinks it'll be around 8:30. I'm planning on a trip to Wal-Mart (for ribbon, Cambell's Chicken and Rice soup, and fresh Ginger), maybe a walk, a Play With Me Sesame, maybe a bath, and church.

If she falls asleep on the way to church, I'll just turn around. No more waking a sleeping baby for me. And one of the patterns we have is that she gets a bottle in the car on the way home from church, she's usually overtired on Wednesdays anyway since it's about two hours past her (self imposed) bedtime. We'll be in the Miata, so I'll see if she can hold the bottle herself. This could be interesting.
