What I did today.

Well, Lis and I went out to buy school supplies. I bought a new whiteboard, a pad of newsprint, some shiny stickers, some blackboard paint, and a paint roller and tray.

Blackboard paint is neat stuff, at least in theory. The idea is that you paint this stuff onto a wall, and it turns it into a blackboard. I don't, frankly, know how well it works, but since the existing chalkboard sucked rocks through a straw -- a chalkboard that does not show chalk marks, and, if you DO manage to get chalk marks on it, the marks don't ever come off, that's not a very good chalkboard -- it can't be worse that what we already had, anyway. It takes three days to dry completely, but that should be fine.

And I painted one of the chalkboards, made up some stuff for the walls, put the whiteboard somewhere potentially useful, and attached the newsprint pad to the wall.

I also helped Lis with dishes, at least a little. Okay, a very little. But SOME.

IME that paint works pretty well. i know a lot of people with children who like it. also, we used it at the restaurant to keep tabs on what we had left and stuff, and it worked really great. especially when you consider that it was being written and erased a couple of times a day. in a restaurant kitchen, that had steam and heat and people running by and the like.
