This morning I finished filling up my dishwasher and then turned it on. I went about doing various chores and surfing on the net. A couple hours later I decided I'd make some chocolate chip muffins. So, I opened up the dishwasher to get my mixing bowl out. DOH! The dishes were wet, . . . . but they certainly were nowhere near clean! I ran through in my head all the steps I took before starting the dishwasher, and suddenly realized that I'd left out probably *THE* most important step of all - the detergent!!!! So, I had to run that whole load of dishes through again. What a waste of water and electricity. Some days I really wonder where my brains took off to. (rolling eyes)
Well in other news, I stayed home all day today. Got a ton of lessons done in my Real Estate course. Lollygagged about quite a bit. The plastic the maintance man put up on ceiling with duct tape came off completely - but I think the leak has FINALLY stopped.
Oh - I did end up making those muffins. They'll be a nice little treat for my lunches this week.
Doesn't seem like there's much in the way of grocery deals this week. I don't think I'll even get myself a paper this week. Probably just get some bread, applesauce (still on sale) and banana's and call it a job. Pretty nice for my grocery budget really.
