I take back what I have said about the uselessness of a crock pot & how I can never get anything to come out tasting like anything other than food that has been on a steam table too long. I made a very delicious cranberry pot roast yesterday. Though it could have benefited from having the liquid cooked down into a more concentrated gravy before serving.
I have to go stand in line with all the other procrastinators in the area and pay my property taxes which are due today. They don’t accept Visa check/debit cards anymore on site. It is cash or check only. I don’t have a checkbook. I can’t remember the PIN number to the account with the tax money in it & it’s unconnected to the other accounts & I can’t transfer it over to an account with a PIN I can remember. So I have to wait until the bank opens & stand in line there first to get some cash.
Santa sent us some ornaments for our new tree. Elvin brought them this morning. More on that in another post.
We no longer have snow. We have large white crumbly chunks of ice.
I have 3 more gifts to buy for the boys, plus 2 gifts for friends’ kids (all 7 of the friends’ kids are getting puzzles this year. Usually it is books or games but it’s getting harder to keep track of who already has what.). I also have to get something for DH but I have no clue what to get him & he has not suggested anything. I sent him my Amazon Wish List because I am all helpful that way.
I need to make up a meal plan for the week but I am still so full from the pot roast I can’t even think about food.
I have one page completed for my Journal Your Christmas album. Today is day 7. I have only finished day 4. I need to get a plan going on that today. I suppose I’ll have plenty of time while standing in lines this morning to think about it.
