The first place was my Master Bathroom. I have hated it from the moment I bought the place. So here's the renovation plan: scrape the ceiling to get the popcorn off! New paint, new vinyl tile floor, New door hardware, new towel bars and hooks, New lighting, and a new Vanity mirror. As I can afford it, I will replace the vanity, replace the closet doors, and add a nice closet organizing system. Here's a picture of the work in progress. Stay tuned for the reveal!
Also this weekend: Ran my first 10K! I was very nervous about running 6 miles, then on Wednesday night I turned my ankle and was concerned I wouldn't be able to race! But, Saturday morning I felt great, so I ran. I'm so proud of myself for finishing, and I kept to a pretty good pace. My time was 1:17:08. I'm hoping to do as good at my next race,the Labor Day 10K Classic.
I also made a new recipe: Pumpkin Spice Cake. I got this recipe at my Weight Watchers meeting this week, and decided to try it, since I had a can of Pumpkin I need to use up.
It's really simple, and makes a really moist cake with the texture of a pound cake. And it's YUMMY!!
Just three ingredients:
1 15-oz can pure Pumpkin
1 box Spice Cake Mix
1 tsp Vanilla
Preheat oven to 400. Mix together the ingredients. The mixture is VERY thick. Bake according to the package directions.
I put a powdered sugar glaze on top.
Update on Fly-ing with FlyLady.... Making progress on my routines. I have done a lot of cleaning out and organizing. I think I'm going to max out my Goodwill donations for the year! But Mom, I'm making my bed EVERY day. I know you thought that would never happen. And I'm still meal planning. And I'm picking out my outfit before bed, so I'm not having a wardrobe crisis every morning. So, still a ways to go, but definitely progress in the right direction.
This week: Bunco!, and a much-deserved pool day Saturday!
