Sooo...it's been a month since I was last on here. Life's been crazy, for sure, and thankfully, the great majority of that craziness has been a good thing. I need to get better about blogging, but I swear, most days, I don't even watch television and the laptop never gets switched on.
Without further ado...
The weather outside is: pretty much perfect. I need to wrap up this post and get outta there again. It's supposed to get rainy and windy and COLD in the next ten days or so, but then again it IS November.
On the breakfast plate this morning: A Subway mini pizza and a cup of tea. I'm not even sorry.
As I look outside my window: Sunny and breezy. I love it.
As I look around the house: We're all home for once, and right now, little clutter reigns supreme. I'm okay with that. Ella and I are reading "Being Dead is no Excuse: The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect Funeral" out loud and howling with laughter. I bought it and four other books in a bundle for a dollar. Josie is hanging out with us, as is Ren the cat. Gabe and his best friend Mike are talking about Native American culture in the living room. Sphinx is laying under the porch swing.
What I'm wearing today: A printed dress that I got at Sam's Club, and my requisite black leggings.
To do today/This week: Gabe and Ella took the letters to be mailed to my pen pals. (I have a pen pal in the Netherlands, and another one in the state of Michigan.) I have the propane company coming here on Friday to install a propane tank for the house. I'm going to try to get some rest this week, last week absolutely killed me. It's sad that I have to schedule rest, but here we are.
Currently Reading: Nothing really. I did read The Other Wife and The Last Thing She Ever Did...two books in one week! I'm going to page through these cookbooks...and the Encyclopedia of Cats (impulse purchase at the thrift store with Ella)
On the TV for this week: Ella and I are on a King of the Hill kick. I have no idea why. I lived in Texas for a while...and sometimes I felt like I was living it...I didn't find it so funny then, but I do now. That and it's one of the things my father in law and I have in common.
On the menu this week:
Monday: Deep Dish Taco Pie (Stolen from Sandra!)
Tuesday: Breakfast Casserole
Wednesday: Chicken LoMein
Thursday: Grandma Aniela's Vegetable Soup
Friday: Pot Roast and Potatoes
Saturday: Chicken Stew
Sunday: Lasagna Roll-ups
Something Fun to Share: Did you know you can root mint and even marigolds in just plain water? I knew about mint, but not the marigolds.
From the camera:
Prayers, Inspirational Quotes, Devotionals: I'm currently in the book of Exodus (I finished my Bible through the year in October, and immediately started again). There is SO much going on in Exodus...but there's a message of such hope.
Have a great week!
Ooohhh I hope you enjoy the Deep Dish Taco Pie.
ReplyDeleteOk I knew about rooting mint in water, but like you, I had no idea about marigolds. I will have to do that next year. I also want to grow chamomile and a bunch of different teas. That would be awesome.
I hope you have a blessed week my friend :)
I grew chamomile this year and it went nuts! I have some dried in a jar for tea!
DeleteI read Being Dead is No Excuse a few years ago and remember crying from laughing so hard. I think I may try to find a copy and reread it, a good laugh would be great now.
ReplyDeleteI did not know about mint or the marigolds but I did find out that Mexican Petunia's will root in water quite by accident this week.
Have a great week!
Tell me about these Mexican petunias!
DeleteI'm going to have to find a copy of "Being Dead is no Excuse: The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect Funeral" because it sounds like so much fun! My DIL just moved to the south from the west coast and I think it would also be a fun gift for her. Thanks for idea. Have a GREAT week.
ReplyDeleteWhere in the south are you now???
DeleteDidn't know that about the mint or the marigolds. Just gave up on my potted mint plant and tossed it on the deck. Maybe I'll see if I can revive it. Added the book you mentioned to my want to read list, sounds like a good laugh, we all need more of that right now. Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteDon't give up on your mint!!!
DeleteThe book sounds like fun! Enjoy your nice temperature before it turns cold. Mint I knew about but not marigolds.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
A fellow gardener posted about the marigolds on Instagram and I had to try it!
