Morning! What's up today?
Morning all! I'm up early getting ready for pilates and hot yoga, then home for a bit of elliptical, shower, go for my highlights appt, then to target.
Thrn home to meal plan, do grocery list, clean and relax. Oh and enjoy a few cocktails while I have the weekend to myself!!!! :-))
Re: Morning! What's up today?
The usual. Cook, clean, and play with the kids.
I may take my son on a lunch date today. We will see.
My Food Blog
Baked some muffins and now I need to get ready to go volunteer. No other solid plans at this point.
btw, new name but I've been around a while.
Adventures in My Kitchen
Nothing, no real plans, and I'm so happy about that.
I do have a date with a dust rag. Still cleaning up the dust from when the new floors were installed. I'll also finish up putting my office back together.
Otherwise, plenty of time will be spent on the couch reading and possibly watching a movie or two.
Dinner is roasted chicken, brussels sprouts and a salad.
Morning!
It's a beautiful day today so I think we'll be outside most of the day playing with the puppies and doing some outside house work.
I would love to make some chocolate cupcakes with nutella buttercream if I get around to it.
We had baked French toast with chicken-apple sausage for breakfast, now we're setting up to do some stuff around the house. Today we're planning to replace our front storm door, take down some personal stuff (family pics, DD's name from her wall, etc.) and patch and touch up the holes, and move some more stuff to storage to get our house ready to sell.
Beer cheese soup and beer bread for dinner, lunch will probably be Cuban sandwiches, since we have some leftover roast pork and deli ham in the fridge.
DH and I will probably watch a movie or something after DD is in bed tonight.
Not too much. H is working all day and I'm off. It's also raining here so that dampers my plan to go ride my horse.
I need to do some cleaning around here, and today seems like a good day to get it done.
Then, DH and I will head for a late breakfast at this local diner that we love.
This afternoon is probably chores, some work stuff, relaxing.
DH has a hockey game at 9 tonight, so I will hang out at home, do some baking and maybe watch a chick-flick!
My trainer just left. I had a crappy workout because my alarm didn't go off and I didn't have time to eat before we worked out. Grr.
I am eating now, and then I will shower and get ready for the day. I have 40 research papers left to grade, and then we're heading to my parents' house to visit with my sister and her fianc?.
In between, I would love to meal plan and go to the store. We'll just have to see how long these papers take me.
Evening! Our day didn't go quite as planned, but it was still good. Included a friend hanging out with us, lunch at a cute French cafe, pedis at home with my friend while DH went to work for a bit and the kids napped, and took BabyD to an inside play gym. Now we are home, have dinner ordered from the Turkish grill, just chilling a bit. Once the kids go to bed I have to get a few things ready for tomorrow. Then it's cuddling on the couch with DH and sipping some white wine.
I did experiment with wheat berries yesterday. Really happy with how they turned out. I cooked them in the pressure cooker just to see how they would turn out. Made a pot of asopao de pollo (chicken and rice soup recipe from my Joy of Cooking) except skipped the rice and stirred in the wheat berries at the end. Was really good.
Well I'm off of school for the next week due to spring break. yeah. But it is suppose to be nice this week, like 50's. I know I should do a test run of a cake that I want to make for ds birthday party. (Clicky)
And like everyone else said, meal plan, clean, and play with my kiddo. May spend some time with dh also! lol
Just finished breakfast. Got to freshen up, have a meeting with a bride at 2pm.
After that, nothing much....organizing my coupons for grocery shopping tomorrow, baking something, and laundry. Nothing exciting.
I went to the climbing gym this morning, then lunch at the brewery with my mom (pale ales and a shrimp & crab panini), and grocery shopping for the week. DH and DS have been at home all day because they're both still under the weather.
Now we're all home relaxing, but in a couple hours we're going to dinner at my parents' house. An old family friend is in town so we're invited to have dinner with all of them. I'm looking forward to it, as long as DS's fever doesn't come back tonight ...
Levi 4.21.10
We got up early, got breakfast burritos, picked up a friend, and drove up to a nearby lake to participate in a trash cleaning up thing. Yay. Then we got coffee with our friend.
Quick workout, shower, then headed to a wedding. We had enough time to go home between the wedding and reception, but we'll leave for the reception pretty soon. We don't plan to stay all night, just until the cake is cut.
