Today was one of my days off, which means that the time was spent cleaning the house, washing the dishes (today a feat large enough to warrant its own separate category), studying, and preparing dinner.
Projects for today:
1) Clean the living room. In spite of a monumental effort on our parts last Saturday, there were some piles of clothes and things out today. No more! To confined spaces with you, you random things. Also, the floor badly needed cleaning, so an intense sweep/dust/polish was in order.
2) Begin epic task of washing dishes. Yes, although we are only two we somehow manage to use a disproportionate amount of dishes. Or maybe it only seems disproportionate because we lack a dishwasher.
3) Organize shelves in the bathroom. Not really much to say about this one. Our stuff has been sitting in bags on the shelves since our arrival. Time to create order and give the little things a proper home.
4) Make bread. This is the task of which I am most proud, and the pride mostly comes from the fact that we have not done our weekly grocery shopping trip (which means we are out of, and need, bread.) I made a French loaf in my bread machine. It turned out beautifully.
5) Study nutrition. Unfortunately, my study of this lovely science is tainted by the fact that we have not gone grocery shopping this week and therefore have not been eating as well (healthfully) as we should be. My poor food journal…
Hehe! Your bread machine from your registry? I wanted soo much to buy that for you– I had it all planned out and everything, and then someone else bought it before I could! It was tragic, devastating, really.
But it inspired me. Because I saw it on your registry, I asked for one for Christmas and got it! I was supposed to make a loaf of Organic Oatmeal Honey Bread tonight, but made cookies and Lentil soup instead
I’d already decided to put off making the bread until tomorrow morning (so the house can smell all yummy for lil G!), and now I’m reading this and it’s making me laugh!
Oh, and I’m rambling, in case you didn’t notice
We attempted to make bread in a bread maker last week, but alas, the fates stepped in and all we had for our troubles was a mound of flour and yeast at the bottom of the pan.
I’m glad yours turned out much better though
