My main goal this weekend is to get organized. I have a very busy week ahead of me with two jewelry shows, a little catering, getting jewelry ready to go into an art gallery, freelance work, traveling to NC for a bead show, shipping out etsy orders, plus my normal work, housework, exercise, blogging and somewhere in there: eating. It’s going to be crazy so instead of running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off like I usually am when I’ve got a lot going on I’m being proactive.
This is my first weekend in awhile without travel, or something to do so I decided it would be spent at home instead of our usual outings. I’m in the process of getting the whole house cleaned. Cooking and planning food for next week, so we don’t resort to eating out. And making sure I’m working smarter.
(getting the kitchen cleaned)
I’m catching up on design work, jewelry orders and I’ve got bacon cheddar biscuits and muffins in the freeze. I’ve also got carnitas in the crock pot, salad made, vegetables chopped, rice in the cooker.
Josh has been helping out too. He dug out soil in our raised beds. Wearing Guinness pajama pants.
I made a big batch of cream cheese biscuits. Filling them with one slice of cooked bacon plus 1/2 oz. jalapeno cheese. Freezing for quick breakfasts this week.
I’ve been using my Nook Color to read recipes in the kitchen. No more lugging the laptop into the kitchen! I can even google: “how to make buttermilk” while I’m baking.
Organizing the kitchen drawers. I love having all of my measuring spoons laid out like this.
Enjoying the flowers around our house. Thankful that the previous owners did a little landscaping.
I made a batch of Krissie’s Blueberry Sour Cream Muffins. I used yogurt instead because my sour cream smelled weird. I used wayy too many blueberries, I used three small containers thinking “I love blueberries! I need lots of them!” Wasn’t the best idea I had. I also used evaporated cane juice, white whole wheat flour and sprinkled raw sugar on top.
The flower I’ve managed to keep alive.
And finally…
Our cat Simon came home after roaming the woods for about six hours. Thank goodness.
oh! I lost 7 pounds this week! I’m going to do a Sunday weight loss updates for every new pound that I lose!
