Lazy day

January 22nd, 2012 at 12:42 am

Well, I stayed in all day, didn't even take a shower or get dressed. It's not really that bad outside -- it's not snowmageddon -- but why go out if I don't have to? I'll probably go to the grocery store tomorrow, though.

I tried out my drying rack today. I've used it before for a few little things, but have never hung up a whole load of laundry. I got everything on it except for a pair of jeans, which I draped over my shower rod. I expect that tomorrow I will put everything in the dryer for a few minutes to take out the stiffness. If I can do this fairly often, it will save on the electric bill.

I made a frugal lunch of mashed potatoes (made with sour cream and garlic) topped with cheese and grilled onions. Yum. Supper was leftover cream of vegetable soup. Just to make it different I put it in the blender to make it smooth. Because there were a lot of carrots in it, it came out apricot-colored, which looked a little odd. Still tasted good.

For sweets, I had a big cookie my boss gave me yesterday, and some tea breads that were laid out in the break room. Since I was on a low-carb day yesterday, I wrapped up a few slices and brought them home for today. I really ought to track how much free food I get. I take something in to work every once in a while, but it would never occur to me to bring in as much food as others do. Are they getting rid of stuff they don't want around? I do know that some of it is left over from meetings. But a lot of it is just food that people bring from home, not necessarily for any special occasion.

There is one of those Time-Life "Music of Your Life" commercials playing in the background. They are certainly targeted for people my age -- so many songs I remember, but never hear anymore. Making me quite nostalgic. And, of course, who else but people my age would actually buy a set of CD's? Everyone else downloads what they want on their I-pod -- or whatever. I haven't gone there yet. Guess I am officially old. Smile

    I was just listening to that same Time Life ad! Very nice. It was a good day to stay inside here too.

    Did you hear Obama croon a line from that Al Green song, Let's Stay Together? OMG. It's on You Tube. He's so sexy and what a brilliant smile he has. The man can sing.

    I'm glad it's a little warmer here! And a nice cosy day inside sounds lovely.

    We use a drying rack all year long, because almost nobody in this part of the world uses a dryer (the electricity is too expensive for the economy here, for one thing). It leads to a lower bill, but the clothes are sure crispy coming off of the line, especially because of the hard water and rough soaps here. I don't mind it, unless there is something that I need to wear the same day, because I have absolutely no insurance that a washed item will ever be dry within a matter of hours.
