It is 32 degrees outside this morning.  I know because Brandy, Molly, and me have just been out.  Sleeping shorts and a lined flannel shirt do not make good freezing temperature protection but it does wake you up!  No sunshine yet but then yesterday was a gray, rainy day so today could follow suit. 

Seeing yesterday was such a downer I took the time to satisfy some of my to do items. 

I baked the coffee cake I had mentioned in an earlier post in a parchment lined 9 x 13 inch glass pan.  I will have to improve my technique of sprinkling the sugar and cinnamon but otherwise it was delicious.  In fact I may see an extra pound or two show up on the bathroom scales if I don’t stop emptying the dish.

The second item was to view one of my birthday presents from Les, Anne, and Courtney.  Yes, I watched Neil Gaiman’s NEVERWHERE on DVD and loved every minute of it.  I now have to send it to Les for viewing as promised.

I started a large load of laundry in the washer and two racks of dishes in the dishwasher last evening before sitting down to do a couple of rows on the afghan.  Consequently,  I had to empty and put away the dishwasher contents this morning, but there is still a large pile of clothes on the dining room table waiting for my attention. 

I spent all day yesterday thinking about going to visit my oldest son but then decided to do the aforementioned things instead.  I realize that having his own family brings many extra duties he has to perform so I hesitate interrupting his routine.  Maybe next week end I’ll call. 

Well it is 10:54 am and all my clocks read 9:54 so I have to get busy ‘springing forward’.  Have a great rest of the weekend.  Remember to keep warm if you need to, stay healthy,  and laugh out loud (you know why).
