I got a call late last night from my mother. Apparently the woman who sold us the window blinds didn’t bother to call me after calling her to set up a date for installation. So my mom did, and didn’t tell me about it. Well, until last night anyway.
So they’re set to come some time between 2:30-3:30pm today, which pisses me off as an arrival time because at this late notice it’s harder for Josh to leave work early. Plus it means that a lot of the furniture moving needed to happen last night at like 11:30pm because I can’t lift it without Josh.
And now of course it’s today and I have a lot of cleaning and moving to do to get the place organized so that they have room to move around. We didn’t even get to moving the bed last night (we’re not sure where to move it), and I’m just supposed to hope that they come late enough that Josh is already home, or I’m supposed to call him when they get here and stall that window installation.In other news, I baked some real goodies last night. I started this cinnamon bun bread recipe, which is essentially a cinnamon roll in 8×8 pan form. I had all the baking done about half an hour after Josh got home, but you actually have to let the thing rest for 30mins before making/applying the frosting so I ended up putting that off until we were actually going to eat it.
See, I had this grand scheme that I’d have that done to snack on after Josh got home and then I’d start on dinner. While it was resting I started on dinner and promptly had to forget about it until afterwards because making dinner was so hectic. We had spinach/cheese lasagna. Mmm!
That kind of got complicated quick. I had to pre-cook the noodles, make a bechamel sauce, chop up all kinds of things and use the food processor to mix another sauce, blanch and chop the spinach… lots of things to do! It was totally fun though, and in the end it was very delicious. Totally worth the effort, and I think I’ll definitely make it again. I’m always a fan of food that I can make that tastes like you went out to eat to get it.
Granted, we had dinner a -tad- later than we would have preferred (7:30pm) but otherwise the evening was peachy. I ended up making that glaze/frosting for the cinnamon pan of doom and we had that for dessert. This morning Josh and I had another piece since anything with cinnamon is automatically okay as a breakfast food.
Today I make: more iced tea. I drank most of it yesterday.
