This morning, I bribed The Bug into quiet good behavior with a yarn catalog. This probably counts as contributing to the deliquincy of a minor, but whatever works, dude.

More cinnamon rolls today. Yesterday's batch did 2 dozen, and some of those were claimed by the husband tax. But they're not that much work, and the house will smell divine all day. Need to bake bread tomorrow, to take to Mom's.

By finished the trimwork on all the windows Salvage Guy installed, and got some insualtion up. Hopefully he can get the rest of that done soon, before it gets hard to work in the cold.

He also found more corners Salvage Guy cut, which is disappointing, and which he'll have to fix. We'd had a better opinion of SG, once upon a time.


The Sock Report: finished the first Sooper Sekrit Sock last night, and cast on for the second. Hopefully rhe kids will let me make more progress on that today.

Go me!

* two batches of dough for cinnamon rolls just started their second rise
* emptied dishwasher and reloaded it, handwashed the stray stuff
* cleaned counters
* assembled beef stew in crockpot for dinner tonight
* refereed a dozen skirmishes over possession of the toy of the day (the broom)

And it's not even noon yet!

Next stop, laundry. And maybe some knitting.

The Miss is dragging the broom back and forth through the kitcheb, and has just informed me that she's "cleaning a mess". She's not at all effective, but its cute as heck.

Four dozen cinnamon rolls are on their final rise, and the mess is cleaned up. (yay!) The kids are finishing their lunches--hard-boiled eggs and oranges, because that's what The Miss asked for.

Am hoping to get some knitting done once naptime starts. Am 2" into the second Sooper Sekrit Sock, for one thing, and I need to get a doll sweater done (that's for cash, yay!), now that I've figured out a pattern to use.

Four dozen cinnamon rolls baked, cooled, and most wrapped up and packed in the freezer for later delivery. I saved out a small pan that turned out less even, for the husband to enjoy. Still need to wash the baking pans, but that's nothing.

The stew has bubbled into something that smells warm and tasty on a cold night. Yay stew! And I still have some homemade bread to go with it.

I ought to go wake the kids, but the quiet is awful nice. Maybe 1f minutes more....


The Sock Report: am 5" into the leg of the second Sooper Sekrit Sock, because I got sucked into a murder mystery and lost an hour.
