Its foggy and grey here today. I made a list of 5 things to do today. I’ve done 2. One was to put up the new shelf in the utility/pantry room and I have organized it with our staples and organized my spices. It looks great in there.

The second accomplishment is I have banana date muffins in the oven.

The third thing on my list is starting a birthday gift for a lively, spirited friend who turns 50 this month. I know what I am making, I’ve had two false starts because after I was out of the gates; the first attempt, I wasn’t happy with the colour and the second false start, although I personally am in love with the colour, the yarn weight just wasn’t doing it for me. So I’m hoping three’s the charm. I’ll cast on in the hot pink which is more of a DK weight and try to bust a move since this gift has to be out the door in just under 2 weeks, EEEK.

The good thing is Al is in charge of dinner tonight so the rest of the day is mine. It appears it is going to be a pasta dish with mussels and some sinful cream sauce.

The last two things on my list will wait for another day.
