About me forgetting to post. I’ve been doing stuff, some on my list, some not. Just about everyday around 10 pm I’d think, I should post in my blog. Then I get involved in something and suddenly it’s 12:45 am, and I’ve missed posting for the day. =/ So I’ve put an alert on my phone so it chimes at 11:00 with a note telling me to post on my blog.
Things on Walls is progressing. All things are now in frames. I have been chickening out over actually putting them on the walls because that involves things like nails and hammers, which make holes in walls and have the possibility of going very wrong. To take the excuses out of it, I decided to break down and buy some of those Command velcro strips that are made to hang pictures. I’d been resisting because they’re kind of pricy (4 or 5 dollars for enough strips to hang two pictures…) but I discovered that Joanns, Michaels and AC Moore all carry them, and they all have 40% off coupons and carry them in multipacks. So today I split the pictures by which room I’m planning to hang them in.
I’m planning to not hang the pictures in the library or bedroom yet, because I want to get shelves up in the Library (so I don’t know how much space is going to be available), and similarly with the bedroom I’m waiting for my custom mattress to come in to really arrange my room.
So my mission is to hang pictures in my living room tomorrow. Wish me well.
As a continuation of “Cook More” I decided to try to use all of the kitchen appliances/cookware I was gifted when I moved in and have never used. I started off by using my crockpot to make applesauce with some apples that were about to go bad. (lots of applesauce) I then used the applesauce to make Applesauce Banana Bread, Applesauce Banana Peanut butter Bread and Applesauce Banana Peanut Butter Muffins. I also used my crockpot to make London Broil.
I’ve been eating applesauce, Apple-something Bread and London Broil everyday for a week. I’m freezing what’s left and going to try using my rice cooker tomorrow.
I’ve also scheduled a few conventions, I’ll be at Triplecon at Herkimer this weekend (the 23rd), and then at the Anime North Halloween Dance on the 29th in Toronto. I’ll be at Nekocon November 5th-7th in Virginia. I’ve got some new stuff to show off then, which I’ll try to talk about. I think that might be more interesting then my cooking attempts.
I’ve decided to sort my to-do list into “things that cost money” and “things that don’t” and give deadlines to the “things that don’t” first. Seems like a good starting point.
Informed decision-making develops from a long tradition of guessing and then blaming others for inadequate results.
Is there a subject of life – to have rich? Those fellows around getting rich could be dancing around the real subject of life.
