Argh! Received a credit card statement in the mail yesterday, to see we were smacked with a big fat late fee of ...$35.00! Greeeeeat (hits hand to forehead). I deserved it though -- got involved with something and lost track of dates, then ended up firing our payment off in the mail with my fingers crossed. I know better than that! It couldn't have been more than a day or so late -- but of course, we all know there are no grace periods anymore. Sigh, do you know how far I can stretch $35??? Bleh, learned my lesson anyway.....

And, I got so caught up in other stuff yesterday that I entirely forgot to do any laundry at all. Happily, it appears to be another blue-sky, laundry-hanging day....

DS has been baking this week again though -- Lemon Poppyseed Muffins on Wednesday, and Swedish Cinnamon Twists yesterday. Delicious! The Twists (like cinnamon rolls, just a twisted shape) he passed out to family and friends, including his piano teacher. I'm delighted that he so enjoys cooking and baking.

DD has requested smoothie for breakfast. Sounds good to me. I'll be making some from cheap .20 cent-a-pound organic bananas, cantaloupe I got for free a few months back and froze, and homemade soymilk. How cheap is that....?

Off to make it.
