Taking a personal day, if you want to call it that. For moms who stay at home, I guess it's optional to take days off, but it rarely happens. There's always lots to do, whether you're a stay-at-homer, or a work-outside-the-homer. But being that I woke up too early with dogs bustling around (before 6am, which is plain mean), and even though I tried to nap a tiny bit afterward, it just ain't happening.
But still, am taking the day off. Was looking at a small jug of buttermilk that's left-over in the fridge from a Red Velvet Cake recipe from a few days ago. The milk should still be good, and with a bag of chocolate chips in the freezer, thought I'd make some muffins. Found a recipe that calls for both the buttermilk and chips. Yum. The thing is, we have new neighbors in two houses, and rather than make cookies, I wanted to do something different. So.
And am enjoying Charles Todd's book The Red Door immensely. For a fast reader like me to be taking so long to read a book (now on my third day, I think) is unusual. It's *that* enthralling.
So, that's my day. Will make a brief stop at the grocery store later on for dinner fixings, and will make muffins and read. The rain is supposedly coming, and altogether it sounds quite dishy. Oh, and btw, oldest daughter and I go dancing tomorrow night. Don't forget!
