took me all morning to get my kitchen clean and organized to the point where I could make a somewhat elaborate dish for a potluck --

another one on Sunday needing the same dishes, so I HAVE to do them first thing.

small but very well laid out kitchen -- after 20 yrs w/ a galley kitchen, it's bliss.

made it to the gym once this past week; shoulders hurt like hell and I didn't even do anything shoulder heavy.   sigh. a couple more pounds off -- but,after that potluck, who can say??
