"Mostly Sunny" it says

aamusedinatxWell, when I woke up the "sunny" part was not in evidence. It had apparently rained last night. Dottie and I walked through a gray, misty, wet wonderworld this morning. It didn't rain on us but the air was so humid, for all that it was cool, that my skin was glistening damp by the time our 20 minute walk was done.
Then it was time for me to get out for a few more errands. I went down and paid storage but I decided (at the last minute) not to stop by the market for chilies. Re-reading the recipe for Mole last night, I really need a food processor or blender for this and I have neither one. So, instead, I'm making chicken paprikash and I'll go down to the Berkeley Bowl for bulk spices needed. I have some paprika but I need to stock up anyway.
I stopped back by Ross to see if that 8qt stock pot was still there. It was, but someone had pried open the box and swiped the lid. I was irritated by that. They had a few Analon 12qt pots at $34.00 or more each. Then behind a bunch of junk I found a treasure. A T-fal 12qt pot WITH the lid still attached....$13.99 OMFG. It soooo came home with me! I love finds like that. They make me very happy. It's the simple things, you know?! I scored a richly colorful duvet and sham set for my bed. I think this one will attract less pet hair. I love the rich red one I got from Ikea this summer but it is like a static MAGNET for pet hair and I might as well have a fur throw--seriously. So I'll put it away for an 'extra', or give it up to Goodwill or something. I can keep my white and red toile coverlet for summer and this one will do just fine with my winter down comforter. For under 10 bucks I scored a raised metal stand with two ceramic dog dishes for the Dorkie dog. She needed a treat and I needed something easy to clean and easy to clean under. She's a messy thing when she eats; probably because she only has 3 teeth in her head! I filled the bowls and set them down into their stand a few minutes ago. She happily slurped water out of it and poked her nose at the crunchies, but she's already had breakfast and so she wasn't hungry. At least she's bright enough to realize she just got a new place setting for meals. She's so funny to watch.
And now, I'm mostly 'in' for the rest of the day. Some web app upgrades and testing today with our engineer at the office and me here, so I'm sort of 'on call' this afternoon. That's fine. It still allows me to putter and such here. My goal this weekend is to start winnowing things down and toss or donate stuff I really don't need/don't use. I think the curb may get a few things this weekend.
