What did you accomplish today?

Jesse · 05-18-2011, 10:42 PM

I made a three loaf batch of wheat/oat/sunflower seed dough...the old fashioned way. :flexing my new bread baker biceps:

Two loaves went into the fridge, the third into the oven. It turned out well, but the next time I will use more time, less yeast and let it rise a few more times before baking. All in all a nice sandwich bread though.

Washed sheets and made bed, washed a load of my clothes and put away a load of mine and two loads of Ebon's clothes that we'd been too lazy to put away earlier, I rearranged the kitchen counter and cleaned it good, loaded and ran dishwasher and washed a sinkful of non-dishwasher safe stuff, I made brunch and dinner for myself, tidied up the living room and brought the broom and dustpad in the bathroom to sweep it but haven't quite made it back in there for that yet. I played online and listend to my MP3 player for a while and watched a bit of the telly too.

SmoothButch · 05-27-2011, 07:27 PM

Laerkin I adopted a new kitty today from the animal shelter. Well, he's an eleven year old boy.

I took him straight to our vet and got a wellness exam, shots, etc done.

I went out to the store and bought new cat stuff for him, litter box, food, scooper, toy

I stopped and bought my dinner

Earlier today I went to work

and now I'm ready for bed after a long busy day.

Kätzchen · 05-28-2011, 11:20 AM

Well,

I took a vacation from accomplishments this past week or so
because it was enough to just wake up and face another day.

And that's what I'm doing today:
facing the day with a beautiful smile in my heart
and attending to the present moment of right now.

We've had some really wicked stormy weather lately
and today, amazingly, it's gorgeous outside
(minus the heavenly veil of pearly clouds).

Wryly · 05-28-2011, 02:07 PM

Up extremely early for commute to freelance job

After observing for 1/2 hr I decided to jump in and actually do the job. A few minor mistakes but I think I did pretty well!

Back home in time to catch UEFA Champions League match between Barcelona and ManU - - - although I did take a teeny, tiny nap.

Abigail Crabby · 05-30-2011, 10:05 AM

Laundry

Made potato salad

covered the ribs with rub and set to marinade

trip to the grocers for forgotten items (briquets)

JustJo · 05-30-2011, 03:53 PM

threw on clothes and headed to the grocery store
listened carefully to a stranger who had something to say
put groceries away
baked 4 dozen cookies
made coffee...finally....ahhhhhhhhh
made tuna salad for a weird late breakfast with Rooster....tuna salad, crackers and green olives
sat with Scoote awhile before she had to go to her meeting
went swimming with Rooster for over an hour....splashed, got cannonballed over and had noodle boarding races
got a teeny bit too much sun
cleaned the pool and adjusted chemicals
called my mother....surgery will be tomorrow or Wednesday
ate half a bag of BBQ chips while watching too much TV
now cooking dinner....pork chops, mashed potatoes and carrots

Abigail Crabby · 05-30-2011, 04:12 PM

Got the lil bbq started when my daughter got called into work for a water emergency.

bbq'd the ribs and some corn on the cob

Took dinner over to her office as she had to wait for the plumber

Now just kicking back and enjoying peace and quiet and the clean kitchen

SmoothButch · 06-01-2011, 12:33 PM

Fed the baby boy this morning
went to work
gave the boy his ear drops
fed the birds & squirrels
filled the bird baths with fresh water outside
trimmed the tree branches
weed whacked in the back yard

next up, pulling out my clippers and cutting my hair, then hoping in the shower

Wryly · 06-01-2011, 02:18 PM

I got my sister to buy me a chocolate ice cream cone!
And some groceries for dinner.
And then some Pepsi for me.

But I had to carry it all upstairs.

And we did go to the lake - I did get some nice pics. Hopefully I will remember to post one later!

SmoothButch · 06-03-2011, 01:25 PM

I went to work

came home mowed the front, side and back lawn

fed and watered the birds and squirrels outside

took the garbage to the dump

got the recyclables together to take tomorrow morning to the collection site

**in half an hour will be taking Moe to the vet

I stopped at two stores and bought birthday gift cards for family

Stopped at the gas station for a fill up

got the mail

scooped all four cat boxes and gave fresh water for our boys

I think that's it so far ...

Nina · 06-03-2011, 01:40 PM

I went to the store on valencia street, as planned...I showed some of my carry bags, and some of my lap-top bags to the owner...she liked them and said she'd be happy to carry them...we are going to do consignment for now, which is fine since she doubles the price, rather than some places which take a higher mark-up...I won't get the same as at a show or selling on line (which I suck at doing)...but, they will get seen, and it's fine by me...I'll go back next week with a selection and see what happens from there...the store is a good fit with some of my lines...

mostly I am glad I Did. It!!...it's such a struggle to 'get out there'...it is for most folks who make things---the whole selling part is the challenge...

so, it's not Great, but it's good (for me) and I'm glad I got over myself enough to do it...

I did other stuff, but I already yapped about that, and will do more of it in another thread...
