A hot Wednesday's doings

Got lots of nothin' accomplished today!  Well, to give myself a tiny bit of credit, finished painting the kitchen vitamin/tea cabinet with a fresh coat of the light green enamel that's also on the walls.  It was my grandmother's cabinet, and while she always kept it white---in my possession it's been dark gray, pink, chartreuse and now light green.  Looks pretty dishy, if I do say so myself.

Spent time just putting things away.  Re-potted my new Lucky Bamboo in a new espresso cup I got recently.  Works fine, if a bit tippy.  And that was about the limit of my workday.

Tomorrow am planning on a morning away from the house.  Picking up a library book on hold, buying more of my loose tea at the Mediterranean store around the corner, and getting some more of the pretty shelf paper at the dollar store.  They have lots!  And if I'm really a good girl, will begin all of it with prayer at church.  Ha.  Will depend on how early I can get to bed.  Double ha.

About to read more of my current fancy---Charles Todd's The Confession. Excellent.  All of this author's books have been a treat---mysteries that take place about 100 years ago after WWI.  Good stuff.  Now will go see what the kids are up to.  Oldest daughter made noises earlier about baking chocolate chip cookies.  Let's see if she comes through (fingers crossed).
