We switched Church times again this year. So church will start at 1 p.m. instead of 9 a.m. I don't like mornings as it is really hard for me to get going quickly, but I love having the afternoon to take a long nap or go for a walk. Having afternoon church is nice as I can sleep in and take time to get ready, take a long bath, soak, but my whole day is gone by the time I get home. Gripe, complain, never happy. Right now I am really rested and I can blog before I get in the tub.
Hub's and I drove up to the University yesterday to deliver a bed frame to B (I bought a really good twin bed frame for $5.99 at Goodwill) and we also bought her groceries for the upcoming semester. We stocked up at Winco and really bought a lot of meat. I will not have to buy meat for another few months. I did not plan to spend so much money, but the deals were too good to pass up, so I will be redoing my budget a little in the next 2 months.
Hub's has a colonoscopy tomorrow so I will be cooking nothing today that has a good smell as he would be forced to eat one of his young. Hub's does not like to skip meals. He is just a little grouchy. He isn't often grouchy, this has just not been a good week.
My bread turned out beautiful. Four huge 2 lb loaves. Took one to B and D#2 took one to a friend we ate one and are now down to 1/2 a loaf. I don't dare make any today, but it is so easy now with my new mixer. I was able to buy dark honey by the lb at Winco, which really lowers the cost of making the bread. I will post pictures next time I make a batch. Because it has no preservatives I will have to start freezing loaves.
Carla and I must be on the same wave length as she was getting very frustrated with her kitchen storage. I have very little storage in my kitchen and I had a dishwasher that was not built in and it has been broken for 2 years. We used it as a microwave cart. I had it hauled away and bought a cart at Walmart where I can store my new Crockpot (I named Judy) and my salad bowls that I usually keep on a chair in the dining room. I am a little worried as my Microwave is a DCS convection microwave and it is heavy, the rack might not be sturdy enough for the long haul. I will continue to look for one that is sturdier and I will take this one down to the studio as we really need a rack for our microwave down there also. It is just so nice to get rid of that big old appliance in the kitchen. I am also going to be cleaning cupboards. I don't believe I have that much to throw away, I just need to reorganize desperately.
Don't tell Sluggy, but I had to buy one large storage container for Christmas crap. I looked in all my bins and there was just not room. I am sure next year when we take out all the bins I can reorganize down to less but right now I am not willing to get out the mess. I spent $4.97 too save myself time. I am bad.
I really miss my sissie and my mom, I don't know why it is so bad this time, maybe the dark gloomy weather.
Have a restful and quiet Sabbath.

You've inspired me. I am going to make bread this week. I don't know if I've ever made bread except in my moms bread maker when I was a kid (and banana bread and the like but that really doesn't count). This should be fun.
ReplyDeletepsst, I have a feeling Sluggy will read this post so you've just outed yourself :)

ReplyDeleteDid I just hear what I thought I heard?!?! grrrrrr
Hubs had his oscopy on Friday so I hid in the closet most of the day Thursday as that was the day he couldn't eat. Fun times! I feel your pain.....lol
You names your crock pot after me!!!! I don't know what to say....I am just so happy. She named it after me...did you all hear that....my niece the crock pot. I am soooooooo happy.
ReplyDeleteI have to comment that I was pretty certain she named it after you too. Oh the honor you must be feeling right now. I hope she's sent you a photo of your namesake.
