Breakfast à la osc and a progress report...

 So, I thought I'd share with you what I had for breakfast yesterday

for a few reasons....

a. it was a momentus occasion that I actually cooked breakfast for just me

b. I made something really yummy and wanted to share

c. I like you

d. I got to take pictures of my cute little cast iron skillet and my yummy breakfast

Inspiration hit as I was huffing back up the hill after my hike in the woods with the dog...

I was Hungry... 
so I started to think about what we had layin' around...

and I remembered some ingredients from our 

yummy-Frenchy-quickie-weeknight dinner the night before..... 

{recipe here}

I got out my *cute little pan*...

melted some butter in it...

fried an egg...

toasted a whole-wheat English muffin...

thinly sliced some cave-aged Gruyère {cheese}...

threw a slice of jambon {ham} on the pan to fry it up un peu..

piled it all together on the English muffin...

et voilà!

My French-ified All-American breakfast. 

Made myself a nice Americano to go with it... 

{the Euro version of American coffee...how appropriate}

...magnifique!

**************

OK, on to the Progress Report...

it is my first half-a-week into...

{Or, if you count my GW trips, which I most certainly do... I'm 2 1/2 weeks in. 

But, as we like to say around here, let's "KISS" it...

"keep it simple, sweetheart" or "stupid" or whatever s-word fits the moment ;-)}

I found that I still need to get a little organized to get organized...

so I ended up wrapping up this half a week with...

another trip to Goodwill!

I packed up a nice Ikea set of kiddie table and chairs 

{which got snapped up by a neighbor before I even closed the hatch on the minivan}

a bag of old toys

a bag of old clothes

a bag of craft kits we've outgrown.

Woohoo!

And while I was up in the attic, searching for more "Goodies for Goodwill"

I realized that it was really starting to look different up there!

Nothing huge...

perhaps the undiscerning eye would not see a difference between 

the "before" piles of crap and the "after" piles of crap.

But I know those piles well...

 and I did notice a difference... 

and it lit a little fire under my rear end!

So, my goal this weekend is to sit down with my checklist... 

...and fill 'er up!

And then... 

choose a project for Week # 2!

And then...

Do It!

I will let you know how it all goes...

and I will leave you in one of my happy places...

more soon.....
