Busy Bee

I was super busy today. I got so many things done and the day just flew by because of it. Here is what I did today:

* Baked Biscuits
* Baked 2 Loaves of White Whole Wheat Bread (I had White Whole Wheat King Arthur Flour)
* 5-6 Loads of Laundry
* Dishes
* Vacuumed Up Flour Mess (I knead on my dining room table)
* Wrote AAMI Tuition Checks
* Tae Bo
* Day 2 of 200 Sit-Ups Challenge
* Day 2 of 100 Push-Ups Challenge
* Studied
* Wrote Hubby 6 Page Letter (I didn't realize it was that long until I finished)
* Dinner in Crock pot by 11 am

I also danced around to music and talked to my stepson. I really feel like I accomplished a lot today. Oh and the reason the laundry load number is so large is because I unpacked a box of our clothes from when we moved to my old childhood home 6 months ago. The germaphobe in me had to rewash them because they had not been unpacked since then. They are mostly Hubby's clothes too. His side of the closet is now pretty much jammed full of clothes. He promises me that he will purge when he comes home.

I decided the other day that I need a crunchy/self-sufficient mentor. I need someone to come teach me how to can, make soaps, laundry detergent, how to sew, etc. I've learned a lot from reading certain books but, nothing beats someone showing you how to do something. I am hoping to brave the canning once Hubby comes home. I figure as long as another person is around I have less chance of royally screwing up and of being saved if SHTF lol. Of course, I still need to get canning equipment *sigh* maybe next year?

I am going to be planning my veggie garden over the next few days. I have been bombarded with seed catalogues lately and I really need to get down to it. I really want to grow potatoes this year. I just don't think I can spare an entire box to that. I would think they would need that much space to grow, maybe I am wrong. If I had a couple of old tires I would try that method. Or maybe I can use the container on my side porch. Choices, choices, what to do?
