kcobwebMy mother tried to suck me into her Web of Baking today, but I resisted, pleading too many chores. Even though I got a very late start, I got so much done! Part of me loves days like this, because I feel so good and productive and caught up.
-Went to Costco (my mother has a membership, I don't - so I go with her) and got many things, including the victorious acquisition of GardenBurgers for my sweetie! We haven't been able to find them lately, so he will be very very happy.
-At my mother's insistence, helped her pick out a Christmas tree. It's waaaaaaay too early, but she's leaving town for a week, and worried that "all the good ones will be gone" before she gets back. Put it in her garage in a bucket.
-Went grocery shopping and got essentials.
-Did laundry, including sheets and towels.
-Put clean sheets on the bed and remade it.
-Made a green bean casserole, because they are so easy, and after Thanksgiving I always want one for myself.
-Made wild rice and mushroom soup, which turned out fabulous and dark and earthy.
-Made dill oyster crackers to go with soup.
-Cleaned the kitchen thoroughly.
-Which includes flattening all the many many aluminum cans to put on the back porch with the rest of the recycling.
-And taking out the garbage and the compost.
-Tidied the living room.
-Watered the plants
-Played several rounds of my new addictive game, Pop and Drop.
And still had time to read some of my latest book - I'm finally getting around to reading P.G. Wodehouse, and enjoying the exploits of Jeeves and Wooster tremendously. My library book is an omnibus compendium of sorts - has several novels and short stories too. Love it. What took me so long to read this?

Briliantly both fun and forgettable, so you can read them again for the first time sometime in the future. ;)
