Baby, it’s been cold
outside! We’ve had snow, sleet, rain,
wind and freezing temperatures. Thankfully by weeks end it has begun to warm back up. I don’t
know about you, but I’m ready for spring although I must admit I do enjoy
watching the snow fall.
I worked all day
last Friday (Valentine’s Day) and then I got home after dropping off two books
I had just read at the library. I also
stopped into the liquor store on the way home to pick up a small bottle of
peppermint schnapps so the BFF and I could have it in our hot chocolate. I got home just as a snowstorm rolled in. I got the bright idea to clean and reorganize
the bathroom drawers real quick before we settled in to watch a movie. I somehow managed to pull the drawer right out
and drop it on the floor busting the knob off.
I have no idea how, but I did.
Good Lord! Thank goodness for
E6000 adhesive because I was able to fix it, but geez Louise!
It always takes a mess to clean one up 
Two empty containers! I've used up some stuff!
Saturday and
Sunday was time for me to work on some craft projects and then I needed to turn
my attention to cleaning up my mess. I’ve
done so much crafting in the last few months that it was time to go through and
do a little reorganizing as things had become a bit messy. I was able to get everything put away where
it belonged and in the process I emptied two containers. also had an empty drawer on my craft cart. That actually surprised me. I was able to use that drawer to put away my “new”
tape runner I got off the FREE table at work a while back and the refills I had
ordered for it. I love when everything has
a home.
Love this!! 😍
When I got done
organizing all of my paper crafting supplies I made more labels so now all the
drawers are labeled and I can easily find what I need. It felt really good to get that project done.
Monday was
President’s Day so I didn’t need to work that day. I started out slow, did a load of laundry and
then somehow found myself crafting again, making some extra colorful pages for
my daily journal. I worked all day on
Tuesday and that afternoon took a group of seniors to tour the Idaho Supreme
Court. We were invited to come into one
of the justice’s chambers for a visit and a bit of a Q&A which was pretty
special. It was very interesting and
kind of reminded me of a school field trip.
I was impressed by how much the seniors seemed to love it.
Before the pantry challenge began 
And now!
Wednesday I ran
a quick errand. When I got home I
defrosted, cleaned and reorganized the deep freezer and then restocked the
kitchen freezer with some older items I pulled from that deep freezer. Everything I have in the deep freezer right
now is currently a year old or newer and the majority of those items have all
been vacuum sealed so I’m quite pleased with that. Once I was done I updated my LTFS freezer
inventory spreadsheet so I know exactly what I have on hand as well as the
quantity. Next I updated my March shopping
list. I also came up with a plan for my
next canning project – minestrone soup.
This was fun!
On Thursday I
spent a fair bit of time working in my art journal and in the kitchen to get
food ready for a little dinner party I had with a couple of my gal pals I haven’t
seen for a while. It was so good to
share some delicious food, a little red wine, a delicious dessert and some
wonderful conversation.
I am loving this new journal & process
A perfect way to
end another productive and tireless week in my retirement!
