This morning promised to be a very productive day.  Jay was going off to Dialysis and I was going to embroider.  It was chilly in the house and I missed seeing Brandy anywhere when Jay said to bring the camera and come quick. 

So it was off to the bedroom to discover my dog, who always sleeps on top the covers,  was nestled warmly under them.  I guess it was cold in here this morning.

Anyway I got it in my head to make the One Banana Bar recipe that Pammie had on her blog the other day.  So I got out the Jay Wants To Try binder to check for the recipe.  I remembered Jay looking through it for the bread pudding recipe yesterday and how long it took to find the one he wanted.  So I decided as I searched I would put the recipes in piles according to what they were.  Yep that is where the ‘but first’ came in!  After all if I was going to sort them then I might as well make dividers, label them, and put the recipes in behind the correct dividers.

When I finally found the cookie recipe I took a few minutes out to make it and then continued sorting and filing.  I was almost done when Jay came home so lunch was the next duty.  Then it was empty the dryer, fold, and then put away the clothes.

Seeing I had an empty washer I decided to wash the clothes in the hamper and then dry them.  While I was on a roll I washed the bird cage covers and cleaned the cages so when the covers were dry they would go on a clean cage. I was barely through with that when it was time to think of supper. 

Now I sit here typing with the dish washer going and one last tub of laundry turning in the dryer because I decided to wash the bedclothes also.  Of course I haven’t made the bed yet.  But hey I have emptied the dishwasher twice today, the washer and dryer three times, fed all my animals, and my hubby.  So I don’t feel too bad about not finishing the recipe book or working on the lap robe. 

My whole life seems to revolve around the ‘But First’ theory but at least I get a lot of things done.
