workin' it

I decided this morning to stay upstairs and get some work done - which means I skipped breakfast.  I used to be a regular skipper but have tried to break that habit...but I knew that if I went downstairs I would get involved in something else and wouldn't get back up to sort through clothing - something I have wanted to do for a couple of weeks.  Out came my summer/winter bin - I went through it, my drawers and the closet.  I now officially have less clothes than my hubby (I got rid of a few things of his too).   I got rid of anything I haven't worn in some time, anything I won't wear even if it fit me and anything that has never fit right no matter what weight I am. 
All said and done I filled two garbage bags full to the top.  I now need to get some steps in that will include vacuuming. lol 
I have even removed the bags from the house - they have gone to the local value village to be loved by someone else. 
My breadmaker died a couple of days ago and I bought a new one... The old one was dropped off at the recycling depot today. Its behind the grocery store so very convenient when I had to pick up kitty litter and a few veggies :) 
Going back to the (old) breadmaker... I made 2 loaves and the dough came out medium grey.  It literally looked like galvenized steel color.  I didn't think that to be too healthy.  This machine has lasted me 15 years at least - its my second one - the first one died just shy of its 1 year warranty.  It has been well used and when I had a close look the paddle looked like it had been getting worn and something in the bottom was leaching grey stuff... I figure it does not owe me anything.  Its been a good kitchen companion and made a lot of yummy tasty bread, buns, cinnamon rolls, cheese bread, raisin bread... mainly the dough as I don't bake it in there. I use the dough setting and bake it in the oven. mmmmm 
hmm,  I should set some up to go tomorrow - got all the points figured out a long time ago on most of my recipes :)
