T minus 3 Days
Well, I behaved myself last night and did not do a marathon beadmaking session...in fact, i made only 7 beads for an order that I have to deliver tomorrow...talk about waiting till the last minute...I'm not as bad a procrastinator as I make myself out to be - a bad one would wait until Monday before leaving town to do all her errands and packing, only to find out she won't have time to gather everything she needs...A bad procrastinator would wait until Monday (night even) to do her sales taxes and then find out she needed info that was only available during business hours...So, while I didn't do my taxes over the Christmas holidays as I'd originally planned, I did get them done in enough time to build in mistakes, should any occur...
So while I like to call myself 'lazy' I'm not as bad as I could be I suppose...One of my favorite Simpson's is when Ned wakes up to find its Jan 1, and he jumps out of bed and gets his taxes done that day..Homer waits until 7:00pm on April 15, saying "I already did those last year" and Lisa tells him "but you have to do them every year!"...Brian kept calling me "Ned" when I'd say that I had to do my taxes back before Christmas...hi diddly ho...
I baked some salmon, rice and green beans for dinner and while the oven was hot, I tossed a chocolate cake in for dessert...the instructions said to just grease the bottom of the pans, no flour, no side walls, so the first time I'd read that I thought 'no way, i'm doing this the right way'...well, last night I thought 'well, if its printed on their box, then I guess they wouldn't be lying to all of us, I'll go ahead and try the grease-only bottom of the pan trick'..and you know what? worked great...the cake was a little more moist (moister?) but it frosted up just fine and it tasted good...I would expect brownies to do well in that environment, but not a chocolate cake...I was surprised...
speaking of, its breakfast time, should I slice me up a big ol' hunk and wash it down w/ some milk??
