Re: Good morning!

  • I got roped into hanging out at my parents house all day waiting for someone to come fix their hot water heater. Afterwards I really need to go grocery shopping. My fridge is barren!

  • Well, I should do the dishes and laundry. But it's 12:21 and so far that hasn't happened.

    I arranged for large trash pick up tomorrow, haul away all the crap that we're not moving/need to get rid of. I'm basically going through all of my cupboards and sorting out what things to donate, what to toss. And tossing old stuff out of the fridge and freezer that's no longer usable. 

    I'm also wishing I was my husband, because then I could have cancelled our Internet and Phone. But I'm not him, and I didn't have a bill in front of me to tell exactly what service packages we have, so boo. Oh, and I'm trying to figure out how to dig up a massive bush of sage in our backyard but I can't do much since I'm enormous now. I think that will be hired out, too. 

    All in all, today I'm tired and lazy and I don't have time to be either of those things! 

  • Other people are awake too! Yay! I think I am going to go do some shopping at the big Target (say it like it is French, tar-jay) for a new garbage can. Clean the house some because my dad is coming to visit tonight. I will do the housework while watching Hoarders, of course. Dr. appointment this afternoon...maybe cook a good dinner tonight? Any suggestions for something to cook that is easy/cheap?

      That's the best motivation.

    I started an initiative to get more sleep and I gave up my daily coffee a week and a half ago, so I feel like a million bucks. 

    My beef bundle was delivered a few days ago and my raw dairy and CSA veggies have started rolling in. I'm incredibly happy about all this and I'm pretty sure it's the highlight of my month.

  • Good morning! I really need to work today but my boss is out so I have a feeling I'll spend a bit too much time researching details of my upcoming trip. :-p

      Salsa pork chops on the stove.  I like them better in a cast iron skillet than I do in the crock pot.

    Pork chops (or chicken breasts, but pork is normally cheaper if you don't have either in the freezer), browned, then add:

    Packet of taco seasoning

    Little can of diced green chilis

    Rinsed and drained can of black beans

    A jar of salsa, whatever kind you like, then let it simmer for a bit.

    I cover it with cilantro, and Joe likes a sprinkle of taco cheese on his.

    You could eat it on tacos, with rice or tortilla chips.

  • Good morning. My sister is coming in tonight! I am so excited. She is a huge Harry Potter fan, more than I am, so I am surprising her with some homemade butterbeer when she gets here. I can't wait to try this out. Other than that, I need to finish cleaning and getting her room set up. Should be a good day.

  • I have to clean my house, it's a disorganized wreck.  I have no motivation to do it, though, so I'm not sure it will get done.  I also have to make my daily grocery store run for our mystery dinner, so I'm open to toddler friendly suggestions on that front.  Other than that, DD and I are in for a pretty boring day.  If it doesn't rain we might chill in the pool for a while.
    Shot first, questions later.

    Swimming lessons for the bug kid this morning, and then...something this afternoon. I left things open today because I suspected the baby was going to need an acute care appointment to deal with an ear infection, but he had a good night and isn't acting like his ears are bothering him this morning.

  • Oh wonderful idea Ojo! Adding the ingredients to the shopping list! And maybe add some frozen corn in there. I love corn with black beans. Thanks!
  • I unfortunately have to work today with my mom, which is an instant downer. I've also got to deal with the guy she's cheating on my stepdad with because he obviously thinks I'm stupid and don't know what the hell is going on.

  • Good Morning! I need to go clean the kitchen and get the crockpot ready so I can turn it on when I leave so dinner is ready when I get home. Tonight I need start cleaning the house since my BFF's are coming this weekend. I think I'll do a section at a time so I can get it done before Friday.

  • Work, and then gym this afternoon.

    J is still TDY for another week, and I have completely torn apart our basement and other parts of the house that I've been reorganizing.  I'm getting back into crunch time, so I need to start putting everything back together so that I have time to surface clean everything before he comes back too.

  • Good morning.  Today I'm going to my volunteer job and then coming home and making dinner.  Big day.
  • Good morning! 

    I just got home from the gym. DS is napping and I'm about to shower. Then I have to put together our new TV stand, bake brownies for H's flight for tomorrow, call the trash company to tell them they broke one of our cans, call the moving company to find out what time they're coming tomorrow, and finish prepping for them. I can't wait to finally have our stuff back!

  • Morning!

    I've been out of town the past four days, hanging out with my family - getting back into the swing of work. I've still got some catching up to do, but it wasn't as bad as I was anticipating. I really, REALLY need to go grocery shopping - I haven't really been home the past two weeks, and my cupboards/refrigerator show it. I'll probably go during my lunch break. Besides that, I'll try not to melt into the asphalt when I step outside.

  • SIL went into labor this morning so we're on baby watch.  I also have to run SD to swim lessons in a little bit.  Other than that no plans.  I might take SD to the library after swim lessons.  They're having a story time this afternoon and I have to return some books anyway.

  • I need to unpack from vacation and do boatloads of laundry. It probably wouldn't hurt to pick up the house a bit as well but we'll see how far that goes!
  • Good afternoon!  So far today I've vacuumed, started dinner, got the baby down for a nap, made and eaten lunch, and now I'm about to start some laundry.

  • I went to work.  I'm home from work.  I'll be going back to work eventually.  Tonight we're having people over for chili.  I'm super excited for chili.

  • We still have family in town. We're taking my BIL and brother to the gun range later. Other than that I think today is a relaxing day. We spent the weekend in Yellowstone and had a good time. But I'm thankful to be home again.
