I don't count the weekend, because I was too busy to count. So let's start with Monday.
1. Updates by three of my favorite authors at Stories of Arda.
2. We found a pretty Queen sized brass headboard at a local second hand/antiques store. It was going for $85, but the owner is letting us have it for $50 because we've been good customers over the years.
3. We went to Stillwater on our usual Monday errands, and also we found fall flowers: we picked up two 4-gallon mums, one yellow and one light rust, and two 4" mums in dark rust and white, and four 4" pansies, in white, light and dark purple and orange. I also picked up jelly jars to make cherry tomato pickles.
4. I finished the body of my crocheted blouse and am working on the border. I will soon be on the sleeves.
5. I went to knitting circle.
And today (Tuesday)
1. The DH and I quickly knocked out our morning housework, and went to pay for our new headboard. The owner's husband will deliver it tonight.
2. I picked up some groceries, and found two (only two left) 4-ounce juice glasses! My other two have been broken for a while, but it's hard to find glasses in that size. AND they are blue, which goes with our kitchen color scheme.
3. My co-writer and I made a LOT of progress on our "12 walkers" AU today. I thought her idea was wild when she proposed it, but I actually think it's going to be pretty good. The premise really does sound cracky, but it's not turning out that way.
4. We got out all the Halloween decorations. One of our homemade ones needs a little refurbishment, but the rest are in good shape. All our noisemakers and animated ones are working just fine! It's going to be fun getting them up this week.
5. We had tacos for supper. I cooked about three pounds of ground beef, saved some of it for the tacos and divided the rest up for the freezer. And I picked up some crunchy shells for myself at the store, since the DH can only eat soft ones, and we already had those.
