1. I went through the house today giving all my plants a hair cut. Some of them had gotten out of control. I cut whole branches off the Christmas cactus, and the ivy was pruned back a lot. I hope they survive. I was rather heavy handed.
2. I did the laundry and was thinking how easy it is to do it these days with great washers and dryers, good detergent and fabric softener. I remember days when things came out of the washer so wrinkled that you could never just hang them up. Fabrics don't always have to be ironed now, although I usually do. BUT, I don't have to sprinkle everything with water first like we used to. Also, with only 2 in the home there is a lot less to do. I remember what it was like to have dirty kids and several loads a day or week.
3. I made dinner tonight....a rare occurrence. I made Carbonara but used less fat, cheese, and eggs. That didn't work. It was good, but for really good Carbonara I guess you need all that bacon fat. Live and learn.
4. I did some reading and got about 1/2 my book read, watched Dancing With the Stars and Castle, cleaned, made a card and looked for the $40 I lost yesterday. I just can't find it. I am thinking it fell in the parking lot of Smith's and I am heart sick. If that is the case, I hope it was someone really needy who found it. I picked out songs for the month for Relief Society, caught up on the blogs, did a facial scrub and for the 100th time decided I need a pedicure.
5. I love the personal size packs of microwave kettle popcorn. We had bought so much that it lasted for two years but there are only 2 left. It's just the right amount for a one person. Add a piece of dark Dove chocolate and it's really a fine snack.
