9-12:20PM

Got up and made biscuits & gravy
and eggs for breakfast.

Then worked on the above
coupon match ups.

Just got back from Kroger not long ago.

Started laundry and are working
on bringing a dresser up from
the basement to put in Jonathan's room.

Got 2 more sets of tarts made from
my green candle. Washed out potpourri pot
and now have some scented pink candle wax
melting to do some rose shaped tarts.

---------------------

1:15PM

Got a load of laundry hung up on line
and another load in the washer.

Brought up the drawers from a dresser.
Now need to bring up the
dresser itself.

Cleaned out fridge of any science projects.

Took the pink melted wax and poured
it into rose molds.
Now have a slightly pinker candle
wax in the pot and will do some hearts next.

My internet is s....o s....l....o....w today!!

Later on will work on getting some
coupons printed.
That's providing the internet
speed kicks it up a notch!

-------------------

5:00PM

Just served supper.
Had chicken dipped in
a mixture of teriyaki sauce and
parmensean dressing
then into cornflakes.
Sides:
Baked beans
Macaroni & Cheese
Corn on the cob

.


Got 2 lunches packed up for Tony.
1 with chicken breast
and the other with a mini meatloaf.

With my other extra mini meatloaf
I decided I would make the
kids meatloaf sandwiches for lunch tomorrow.
..

Dessert:
mini cheesecakes

I made up a batch of gingerbread cookie
dough and put tablespoonfuls
into cupcake wrappers and pressed down
with a glass dipped in sugar.
Baked.
Then removed from oven
and topped with some cream cheese filling.
Baked again.
They now are in fridge cooling.

Next I will melt some white chocolate
on top and sprinkle toffee bits on top.

------------------------------

5:20PM

Well time to get back to laundry.
After the first load I started using the dryer.
The temperature outside wasn't drying
the clothes fast enough for me
to get several loads done.

Then once that's done I'll
work on getting the kids lunches
packed for tomorrow
and finish up my mini cheesecakes.

7:00PM

Just got done putting the chocolate
on top of the cheesecake.
Didn't take no time for it to harden
considering the cheesecakes
had been refrigerated.
Made a total of 24 mini cheesecakes
along with 9 gingerbread cookies.

2 are missing from this pic
because me and Tony had to taste test them lol.

This is something I just made up
with the things I had in the pantry & fridge.
