Sandra switched up the topics.....I kept some of the old and added some of the new. I liked some of the old, but also some just didn't apply to me, and some of the old did. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to leave me a comment. I will be linking up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
The weather outside today is:::: Since I am writing this up Sunday afternoon (getting a head start I am ;-) ).....the weather is still beautiful! Last week was a cooler week, so we turned the AC off at home and enjoyed windows open and the fans going (they always run). Today was a little warmer, but still not warm enough for the AC. This week is supposed to start warming up again, so I bet by the end of the week we have the AC back on.
Looking outside:::: It's a beautiful day! I'm sitting in living-room, in my my rocker. Both the windows and the front door is open. From where I am sitting I can't see much from the front door....just some branches blowing in the breeze. About 4 feet over is the window in the front, I can see 2 of the 3 vehicles we have [at the house] parked. The other window, Fuzzy is laying there napping and enjoying it being open. I can also see the gate to the back yard and a bush blowing in the breeze.
Thinking and pondering:::: Do I really want to move? It's not like we HAVE to move. We just want to go/do something different. We have lived here 21 years next month.
Breakfast time, what is on the plate this morning:::: Since we don't eat breakfast on Sunday mornings....lunch is our breakfast. We had sandwiches and chips and Pepsi. Eating more so we don't have to toss anything,
Looking around the house:::: This is the cleanest it's been in a long time! It still isn't a "Better Homes & Gardens" featured house, but it's clean.
On today's to do list at home:::: Today I cleaned litter boxes. I need to run and get more litter so I can finish up. There are towels and clean clothes that need folded and put away, but the basked might have to do again. LOL!
Currently reading:::: I'm almost finished reading Dear America: A Journey to the New World
. Don't know what I will pick up next. Maybe another Dear America book. I think I've read almost all of them back when the boys were little, well all the ones that were out when we were going to the library every week or so. LOL! They are easy to read, educational, and entertaining.Watching on the Computer today/this past week:::: Switched at Birth this week! You can watch it at 7 central on ABC Family. If you don't get ABC Family, you can watch last week's episode HERE.
I usually Watch on "vidbul" , and I highly recommend AdBlock via Chrome Extension if you are going to watch online episodes. I got an "eye-full" this week AdBlock seems to do the trick and prevents pop-ups. You can enable it and disable it as needed.
On the menu this past week::::
Monday (this was a normal day for us) we were originally supposed to go look at a commercial building, but it went under contract, so we went out of town anyway (to the town we were going to look) and ate at Mazzio's
Tuesday was a stressful day.... so tonight we got some deli chicken from a local gas station (it wasn't very good) and sat on our front porch to eat it.
Wednesday after I had cleaned house for about an hour hubby treated us to the best steak house in the area (our opinion it's the best anyway)
Thursday we had homemade pizza. I made a pepperoni and a chicken club.
Friday we had homemade pizza again. We had a Chicken with grilled onions and jalapenos, and I also made a pepperoni pizza.
Saturday we took advantage of having a Saturday night off and went back to our favorite steak house so hubby could enjoy the "all you can eat shrimp" night.
Sunday we ate sandwiches for lunch, and lasagna for supper.
All week, since Tuesday, we have been trying to eat stuff from our business so we don't have to toss it. I think we have done pretty good at getting it eaten. There is very little left, so there will be little if any waste.
If I have a few minutes to myself this week, I will:::: Read or watch something on the computer
New recipe I tried, or want to try this week:::: Well....since we were home all week and I actually had the opportunity to make meals, I made some bacon cinnamon rolls. I had seen them either on Facebook or Pinterest some time back. I had the canned cinnamon rolls already, and we had pre-cooked bacon we brought home, so I tried it. I need to try again because I put them in the oven after the pizza, and the oven was too hot, and I forgot to turn it back to "bake", so they were a little brown on top and doughy in the middle. Every agreed that had they been cooked all the way they would have been pretty darn good. SO, some day I will try again to make this.
Favorite photo from the camera:::: No photo this week
Visiting with blog friends (blog you want to share, blog post that caught your eye):::: I really enjoyed visiting around on the Homemaking Meme this week. Some blogs I couldn't seem to leave comments. *sigh*
Praying for:::: To be back open super soon and make up in business we have lost over the last week.
