What DID you accomplish today?

[Barbara L]

Packed my suitcase for my trip to Dave's so I can have some Coconut Cream Cheese Poundcake!

Yesterday I listed some things on ebay and I listed more today. Still lots more to list. I will list as many as I can today.

order-2 small burger patty, 1/2 hot dog, ravioli, green beans large baked potato, bread and butter, sliced strawberries
order 3 hot dog, mac and cheese, green beans, ravioli,
order 4 ravioli, bread and butter 2 helpings of ravioli, mac and cheese, strawberries and a bite of hamburger and a bite of hot dog under protest...next time I was told he'd have scrambled eggs and cheese now it's quiet and everyone has gone home..DH just asked me if I planned to cook anything else or was the 2 hamburgers and my hot dog he had for dinner all there was?

Barbara: Come on over! Talk about a rich cake (6 eggs, 1/2 lb Butter, 3 cups sugar); just looking at it I put on a pound. Just to make it more decadent I put on cream cheese frosting.

Today was another day full of shameless self-promotion.

You've gotta toot your own horn if no one will toot it for you.......

 

[Nils Hoyum]

I agree!
This is what I am promoting. It is a new project of mine.
How to cook meat.

When Spring is sprung,
And the grass is riz,
SoCal is where all the good stuff is. (Anon)

I've been hunting for a pattern to make shorts for Olivia for summer. The stores are full of shorts but they are so short underwear is seen with every move. Both my daughter and I just like shorts a little longer and more comfortable.Found some pretty pink striped seersucker I'd like to use.now to find a pattern..Do you have a favorite name pattern company?

So far this morning, I cut up 4 lbs of meat, grind them in my food grinder, vac sealed them and put them in the freezer. Also cut my finger, bleeding wouldn't stop for 10 min, thought I would have to go to the emergency room.

 

[kadesma]

Not a lot, made banana bead, mixed the tuna for dinner, picked up some puzzles for Carson next friday, got Olivia some hair ribbons and also got puzzles for Ethan and a project for cade. Now I need to go water my plants on the patio and feed the fish

AAADD​

(Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder)

This is how Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder manifests itself:


I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mailbox earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only one check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need to be watered.

I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight w! hen we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

the car isn't washed

the bills aren't paid

there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter

the flowers don't have enough water

there is still only one check in my check book

I can't find the remote

I can't find my glasses

I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really! baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember to whom it has been sent.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!

GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY.
GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.

LAUGHING AT YOURSELF IS THERAPEUTIC!

Have a Great Day!​

Guts...been there. Done that. Got the T-shirt.

Besides the normal morning "chores," I baked a loaf of banana-nut bread. The smell nearly made me crazy. Can't wait to slice into it and smear some cream cheese on it.
