And maybe the home improvement people on HGTV, too. I am DONE wallpapering! Yay!! Not only am I done wallpapering, but I've started to prep. for the paint part by moving all the furniture out of the room. So if there's a specialist in rearranging furniture so you can still maneuver in other rooms of the house, I've mastered that for the moment as well. No bed to sleep on (good thing there's a guest room), but I can sit on my living room couch.
But wait, there's more! For another hour and a half worth of time, I'm baking a chicken for dinner! Being homemakerly is going to wipe me out, but for the moment it's fun. . .

Were you baking a WHOLE chicken?
If so, I am impressed.
Me? I can handle skinless boneless chicken. I let other people handle the turkeys and such.
I posted the entry before I tried to get the cooked meat off the bones. Very, very messy. Boneless and skinless are looking better after I'd flipped chicken bits around and got my hands all greasy. Meanwhile, the cats know there are chicken pieces in the garbage under the sink-- if they could just figure out the child lock . . .
Well, literaqueen, good effort! I think you deserve rows and rows of golden stars just for the enterprise (and the mess). I think I'll stick to removing fat from boneless skinless. But someday, I will move up to cooking with things with bones in it. Perhaps.
I hope that your food was delicious. Was it?
It was! It's kind of nice to have already-cooked chicken to work with for later meals. I made chicken stock last night. I haven't tasted it yet, so maybe it wasn't worth the trouble, but it made me feel thrifty.
Good to hear.
I once made vegetable stock. I worked for hours on it. Seriously, hours. And well, it didn't taste that great. I won't be doing that again, anytime soon.
:-)...
I do like cooking though.
