Spent just over an hour, this morning, running around and getting things done. Post office to mail some photos to my in-laws, Blockbust*r to return movies, library to return overdue ones and pick up more, then grocery store to get a few things. Funny how much a person can get done in a short amount of time, when distractions are at a minimum.
The book stash includes:
The book stash includes:
- The Lazarus Trap by T. Davis Bunn
- Remembering and The Memory of Old Jack by Wendell Berry
- Still Life by A. S. Byatt (had read her Possession before, but not any others---there's a Gwyneth P*ltrow movie that's about that title---enjoyed watching that one twice)
- The Return Journey by Maeve Binchy
- Wives Behaving Badly by Elizabeth Buchan (she always makes me laugh, appropriately or not)
- Cedar Cove Cookbook by Debbie Macomber (such a pretty cover...this cookbook looks nice and cozy)
Will decide this afternoon, after browsing the stack, which gets first dibs.
As for more domestic pursuits: Put a small roast in the crock pot overnight, and it was done this morning. Broke it up and put it in the fridge, then cut up potatoes and carrots and put them in the broth in the pot. They're cooking on low. Figured that after nap, would make a gravy to put on the whole mixture for dinner. Baking powder biscuits to dish it over. I'm talking about yum!
After a couple of days doing extra housework (caulking and painting) decided that this would be my slow day. That's the main reason I got all of the nonsense of running around done early. Now, I can putter around and settle. Now will go off to make a good example of myself.
(new header image was a freebie from Indygo Junction for my filling out a questionnaire---so pretty!)
