xiphiasWell, 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.
