Did you know you can freeze buttermilk? I did not know this. According to Food Network you can. Pour it into ice cube trays, freeze, and store in freezer containers. Organic buttermilk is hard to find, so I'll be keeping this on the to-do list. It keeps up to 3 months.
I put a few hand crocheted "heart" bookmarks up on my "shop" blog.
The grain free fruit and nut bars went quickly here. I will be making more this week. Very healthy too. Gotta get those nuts and seeds in our diet one way or another.
Our weekend was pretty much a "stay in pajamas" kind of weekend. I got a lot of crochet time in. In fact, so much, my eyes need a break today.
I'm joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom today.

How I am feeling this morning . . .
Tired. I think I "sat" around too much over the weekend, ha ha!

Wondering if we'll get a winter getaway or not.

My favorite pen has gone missing. Urgh. Kids! Next trip to the "Big City" I'll have to see if I can find another one. It's a Pentel pen, but the reviews on Amazon, say the new ones do not write like the older ones, so if I can't locate them in stores to try again, I'll be on the lookout for another favorite pen. A writer always has a "favorite" pen to write with.
Looking around the house . . .
It's looking great these days!
Chore I am not looking forward to . . .
Cleaning the toilet.
To relax this week I will . . .
Write. I am really looking forward to this!
On the to-do list . . .
-clean master bath
-laundry (bedding is already washed and dried)
-sweep and mop kitchen
-work out (doing it later when the house warms up)
-bake a frittata for the next few days
-work in the utility room for a bit
-write up a list of what needs restocked for next year's craft show. Now that I am down to one order I can get back to UFO's and restocking items for sale.
Prayers . . .
A family member on my husband's side - has MS, is in the hospital for a brain bleed and pneumonia, and continued prayers for Mom.
Prayer update: On the missing 14 year-old. They found his body inside a chimney of an abandoned house. No foul play considered in his death.
