things to do today

[magicicada]

• complete mini temp assignment - at home. this one's a phone/computer job.
  
• get sylvia a sippy cup. my impromptu dixie cup experiment went well. we may skip the bottle stage entirely. i'm going to see if i can find a translucent blue cup as sylvia is utterly and completely fascinated by h_postmortemus's ice glass.
  
• hunt down job(s)
  
• amuse sylvia - all day long
  
• watch sylvia like a hawk to see if the mysterious blue spots change in any way.
  
• continue the planning for sylvia's big move into her own room. who am i kidding, she'll still sleep in our bed a lot, but at least we might get a bit more sleep in the morning while she does her groove thing in the mobile.
  
• plot (evil cackling optional) sheepshead, etc.

Growing up we always played call-an-ace, which is pretty brutal on pickers. I'd never heard of jack-of-diamonds until my brother got married, and her family uses the jack-of-diamonds rule (with call-an-ace if the picker has it). I generally prefer that now. And, of course, proving that there is no end to sheepshead variations, I've never heard of the jack-of-hearts option.

So, anyways, when do we get to play? :) I can only do weekends, as I'm currently working in Charlotte during the week, but I'm quite flexible on my weekend schedule.
