I just got through dusting an area of my house, watering my plants. Now I'm going to make a cinnamon bundt cake with buttercream frosting. One of my sons is impatiently waiting for the cake to be done. He loves cinnamon. My oldest son says I can't make a cake now because it's not the middle of the night lol I often get up and bake late at night.

Hi Wendy,
God yes!!! I am a prolific putterer. BUT I try to cross things off my To Do List before I start "bouncing" from one small distraction to another .. Lol
Yesterday I planted some kale seeds in small starter containers I got at the dollar store. Then I was scrolling trying to see if Trump was making any sense with his bravado.. watching some TV, taking Pippa for some walks ( it was like winter temps out there ) ..and I even looked into online dating ( Hmm .. maybe lol lol ).
See Wendy ..I'm a putterer !!!
Hugs, Sandra
