Dance class was fun. Not. Mara's iPod died after our warm-up song. Which made practicing our dance routine a wee bit difficult. :/

The heater cabinet door, back bedroom door, back bedroom closet, and laundry room door have all now been given base coats. Tomorrow, and Monday since I get it as a holiday, all of them get enamel finishing coats (satin finish, for most of the closet) as do the master bedroom and shower room doors. Hopefully Wonderful Husband's weekend work project thing will in fact finish tonight (at 3am, grr) so that we can split the work of all that painting.

I probably have dried paint in my hair. I certainly have it on my elbow. Too tired to care. Going to bed now.

Just got back from the gym. It was brilliant. There were only three other people there.

So, today I had my dance class this morning. I've got the grapevine step down, but doing the Arabic step while moving my hands at a much slower rate is defeating me. Must practice. Afterwards, I went to the farmer's market. The Asian vegetables people are still sadly missing, but the mushroom guy was there! Bought a bag of shiitakes to go in tomorrow's quiche. ^_^ Wonderful Husband and I finally went to the $2 theater to see Captain America, which was actually quite good. I've been kind of hesitating on it and Thor because Iron Man 2 left me with a, mm, shall we say less than stellar taste in my mouth, a large part of which is due to wow, Pepper suddenly became such a weak character. I can't exactly pinpoint when I started turning into such a feminist regarding the television and film depictions of women, but somewhere along the way I have. But I liked the relatively strong female lead in this and thought the film overall stood up quite well. I kind of want Peggy to still be alive (though in her 90s) and for her and Steve to get in that dance somehow, but I doubt it's going to happen.

Poking at words until I wind down from endorphin high, then going to bed.

Think I've figured out why I keep thinking I'm hungry. Did prep work for crock-potting French herb chicken this morning, which included smashing a bulb of garlic and peeling it. Even after washing my hands, the aroma still clings faintly to 'em. ^_^ And, hey, dinner will be ready, all the dishes are already washed and put away, save for the rice cooker, the bowl of which I forgot to soak overnight so it's soaking now. All I have to do is wash it, measure a couple cups of brown rice in, and click that at 6:45 and dinner will be ready at 7:30. ^_^ If I'm good I'll mash up the browning bananas and make 'nana bread and muffins too.

Last night my parents had my dad's aunt and uncle over for dinner. It was kind of amusing in that, as Wonderful Husband and I rent from my parents, they showed up at our place first. We're about two miles away from my parents' home, and they still had that as the address. ^_^ So I drew them a map and they got there okay. Wonderful Husband and I, meanwhile, had our hurried curry dinner and went to our dance class before heading over to my parents' for dessert and socializing afterward. Dance class was... deserted. There were the two of us and one woman who comes singly. It was low-key and rather nice. ^_^ Practically a private lesson, but enough not so that it wasn't uncomfortable.

Brought in the remaining Halloween candy today and dumped it in the communal candy drawer. Was amused to hear my coworkers exclaim over it. Maybe they don't have trick'r'treaters in their neighborhoods?
