New Developments
After years of keeping the bunnies contained with a puppy gate, Mia has finally figured out how to fold it out of the way and let herself out. While amusing, this is not a good development. I'm sure I can secure it somehow (my brain is much bigger and I have opposable thumbs), but I'm lazy and it was nice just being able to easily slide it around myself whenever I needed to all this time.
Kroger had mini-muffin pans on sale, buy one, get one free. YAY! I've been wanting mini-muffin pans for a while, but have been too frugal to buy the good ones and too picky to buy the cheap crap. I made zucchini mini-muffins today. Delicious and so cute.
I've remembered that I can view text files on my mp3 player while listening to music. This feature never really interested me before, but today when I was debating whether I should print out my recipe or haul my laptop out to the kitchen, I remembered about the text files and instead loaded the recipe onto my mp3 player. It was quite a nice way to work, listening to music and always having my recipe at hand for reference. Now I'm thinking about making an arm-band, or maybe figuring out how to hang it upside down from my neck so it's readable and mostly hands-free.
It's candle season again! I have my first two burning right now. My MIL gave me a couple more bags of church candles, so I'm quite candle-rich! I love these church candles because they burn so very evenly and clean. I really need to clean my house up and get my autumn decorations out, then deck the place out with candles. I love this time of year!
...That's all I have right now, I guess. I spent the weekend doing very minor home improvement type things, but it feels like time well-spent because the home projects list is soooooo long that any time I can cross something off it makes me feel accomplished. I did get the mudroom cleaned up though, and that's most exciting because I have room to work with my torch in there again now. I'm hoping the work I have planned for tomorrow goes smoothly and I can squeeze in some torch time!
Ok. Time to feed the bunnies and call it a night. I'm looking forward to this week. I intend to get so very much done.
