Sunday, Part 1
Jan. 10th, 2010 04:18 pmI went to Owatonna for groceries this morning--I did not get out of the house as early as I had hoped to, but I was home right around 12:30, so that wasn't too bad. As soon as I got all my purchases into the house, I started cooking. I've baked four pieces of chicken which are now chilling in the fridge. Once they are cool, I will strain the grease off the top, peel off the skin, and pick the meat off the bones. I think I will make chicken salad for sandwiches out of it.
In the oven is a lovely big fat meat loaf. I got hamburger on sale, 1.5 lbs for $2.48. Its expiration date was today. Nothing wrong with it at all, so long as you cook it up quick. I also have a delcious and fragrant beef and barley stew cooking. In addition to the barley, I have chopped up celery, carrots, rutabaga, potatoes, and onion, all fresh. I added another can of broth to it as it seemed too thick.
Jim, DeAnn, and Swayze stopped by earlier. I gave them some cookies and half the chili I had made on Friday. I like to do my part to raise Swayze....lol. He is my honorary nephew, after all.
That's about all I have accomplished today. Before I finish for the night, I have to go down and deal with the last of the laundry and sweep the kitchen floor. I see no point to sweeping, however, until I am done cooking and doing laundry for the day. I might have to do a quick touch-up with the vacuum cleaner in the Living and Dining rooms because the cats and I track crumbs and "shit grit" (cat litter) from one room to another.
Other than those extravagences, I bought only kitty treats, ziplock bags, and food.
Oh, the excitement that makes up my life is boundless.

At Walmart, I wantonly spent $5.00 on a pair of pink slippers.
They are actually slippers for little girls, but my feet are so short and stubby that they fit me just fine. They are very warm and snug, and I like that. Also, they are pink. With purple butterflies on them. I also picked up Pan's Labrynth and The Day After Tomorrow for $7.50 each. Cheap enough. I was tempted to buy the final X men full cast movie at the same price, but I couldn't remember if I already had it or not.Other than those extravagences, I bought only kitty treats, ziplock bags, and food.
