Made some little crescent-roll sausage things for quick breakfasts. They are now freezing down. The one I ate tasted quite good: win. Lazy - nothing from scratch - but they will do the job. I need more cookie sheets. I only have two, which used to be plenty, except one of them is too big for the oven at the new house, and we now have a double oven. I won't use more than two at a time most of the time (why run the second oven?), but it'd be nice to have the option and anyway with four I can prep two while the other two are in...which would've sped this evening up a fair bit.
Used up some extra crescent-roll dough on hotdogs. Not quite right, but I know what I want to do next time and Drew was happy, so it worked well enough.
Drew likes the blended tea we got at Teavana. No surprise. So do I. Also no surprise.
I finally gave in and got a good tea maker for loose-leaf tea, a 16-ounce one of the variety that pours down into a cup through a filter when it's ready. Several co-workers use them and one too many friends recently raved about them (and, more importantly, told me they really DO clean as easily as they claim). So I got one. They do clean easily. Yay! Also work, which I basically knew. Yay! I don't have loose tea that often, I mostly get the bagged stuff, as tea balls are a pain and a bit of a mess besides. That, and mostly, I can't taste the difference. But some of the blends I have liked don't come in a bag, so. :P
Tired now. Pity, as I promised Drew he could stay up a half hour late if he cooperated with his bath (in part because it will get him so hyper, whether he fights or cooperates, that bedtime ritual a half hour after would be a lost cause ANYWAY). So we'll all get to bed a little later, except Scott. I usually go to bed when Drew does these days, and sometimes before he does (probably best I not do that tonight, since staying up late was my brilliant idea inna first place...).
I won't say I'm well-rested after this weekend, 'cause I am not. But I am in a good mood and well-recovered and that's pretty good. And the laundry got done. And the dishes didn't. I'm hoping if I spend time playing with Drew after his bath, I can sucker Scott into doing the dishes, as I don't enjoy loading the dishwasher as much these days. :P
