Time can be on your side
I was going to make cookies for some friends, but seeing that it is now 9:00pm, and I have to clean-up the counter tops from something, and I have to be in KC tomorrow at 9:30am, I don’t think that I’ll get it done. I did get dinner made for said friends who just had a baby, and man, do I know just how exhausted they are right now. So, I feel like it is too late, which is good because I would just eat some cookies if I made them. I bought more flour and sugar for the first time since December, that is how much I do not bake anymore. The back of the flour bag had a recipe for “The Best Fudge Brownies Ever.” I see this as a challenge. One that I will have to take after mid-June.
I’m taking the day off tomorrow so I can get my hair a much needed cut*, and then make a trip to Whole Foods, Penzey’s, Friend’s house, and try to get some clothes shopping done since my last-year’s spring/summer clothes are too big. I don’t want to wear my heavy, dark clothes to work anymore. And I have one pair of jeans left and those are getting baggy-assed. Sometimes I like shopping for clothes, and sometimes not. I may even go to the *gasp* mall. Maybe I should hit an outdoor mall instead of Oak Park where I usually go. It may help stave off the headache I always get when spending too much time in a mall.
Mac just brought home a big storage bin that also serves as seating for the deck. He is pulling the pieces out of the box, and Ada is jumping up and down yelling, “Oh wow! That’s a rectangle! That’s a rectangle! It’s big!” Her latest phrase is “my, my, my.” She took Mac’s shoes off today, pointed at his feet and said, “oh, my, my, my!” When I made the mistake of mentioning that I was making cookies, she immediately wanted one, so I had to let her look in the cookie jar to prove that we didn’t have any. She looked in and said, “Oh, no. My, my, my!”
*I looked at my calendar, and I last had my hair done right before James’ birthday. 3 months ago.
