Having given myself permission to buy a whole bunch of books didn’t also magically create space to put said books. How unexpected and unfortunate.
I never thought I’d be persuaded to try kale, let alone enjoy eating it, and yet now I like it in several dishes, including today’s lunch of kale roasted with sweet potatoes and chick peas.
Packing tape can indeed be used to hem a skirt for a short period of time, such as the amount of time it takes to go trick-or-treating with the kids, when the stakes are low. Masking tape would have been better, but I didn’t have any, so I gambled on the packing tape, and it paid off.
I was a queen for Halloween, crown and all. I was a cold queen, too. October gets chilly, don’t you know.
This morning, after seeing the kids off to school, my first task was to attend to the family “mold farm,” as the kids called it. We had had a slow cooker dish for dinner a few days ago and then apparently forgot to clean out the pot. Gross. On the other hand, one doesn’t often see pink mold, so at least there was that novelty.
I managed to ditch my morning caffeine addiction months ago, but I often flirt with danger by drinking decaf coffee and even the occasional caffeinated beverage. Caffeine would love to get me back into its evil clutches. Can I keep my hard-won freedom? Time will tell. My odds would be better if I never drank caffeinated beverages, though, especially in the morning.
