For food: I went to Erie County Farms for healthy, affordable groceries and have/had four to five meals planned. I prepared to entertain friends Sunday night - with steak fajitas, guacamole, wine, and TV. I made beef stew in the crock pot without using a recipe. I chopped up lettuce and veggies for salads this week. I have veggies and shrimp to make a stir fry at some point. I have ground turkey for tacos. And I even froze some chopped veggies and meat for a future meals. I am sick of processed food (last week, I tried to eat things in my freezer to help clear the way).
For cleaning: I dusted and vacuumed every room, scrubbed the bathroom, and cleaned the kitchen (even cleaned out the refrigerator). Last weekend - I reorganized under the kitchen sink, scrubbed the microwave, reorganized the basement boxes, and straightened the garage. I even enhanced my family room's decor:
| My "seasons" room with snowflake photographs above the fireplace. |
For laundry: I washed, folded, and put away two loads of laundry. I straightened the linen closet. I cleaned up my dressing room. And I ironed some sweaters that haven't been worn for at least one season (confidence is waning):
| Some of the sweater fuzzies melted on the iron. Luckily the sweater is fine. Any tips to remove? |
| Daisy after she played with knives (and other kitchen utensils) |

Ha! That Daisy! Good job with the Erie County Farms trip and yummy foods!!
Speaking of "Confidence Builder" and "Snowflake Photographs", your mom's work....'Lake Effect Lace" is mentioned in yesterday's (1/15/2012) Washington Post articles in Travel......as a reason making visiting Erie, PA worthwhile.
Nice touch!
