Happy Homemaker Monday ~~ 8/4/14

Good Morning!  I didn't want to get out of bed this morning.  I asked hubby if we could call in sick, but be said "No", so we got up.  LOL!  What is it about Monday mornings and wanting to be lazy?

The weather outside today:  We are supposed to get up to about 90 or so today.  Weather tweet from the NWS said we could see spotty random showers today.  The rest of the week looks about the same, with a greater chance for rain later in the week.  I did turn the AC back on last night, after having cooler temps and not needing it.

Looking outside: From where I am sitting I can't even see outside.  I left my laptop home for the boy today.  Hubby uses the POS computer most of the time now since the one he normally uses is getting slower and slower.  I am using the computer we use to run our Christmas light show.  Figured it needed used since it usually only gets used about 4 weeks out of the year.

This morning I have: I've gotten out of bed, dressed, fed the cats, and made it to the shop.  I paid a pile of bills, *sigh* and I've made a cuppa Suisse Mocha.  I don't know why I buy that stuff, it is nothing more than hot cocoa!  I do need to take a walk and pay a bill that is a few doors down, and also go buy more stamps, the post office is a block and a half away, so I will walk there also.

Thinking and pondering: building and land, make offers and how awesome I think this would be to eventually add.  Not really as a dance floor, but just something fun for the arcade.

I'm thankful for: I'm thankful that we were able to open and sell food Friday as planned.  I'm also thankful that today (Sunday) was a good day.

Breakfast this morning:  Just the cuppa suisse mocha

Looking around the house:  Need to do a few things.  The only dirty dishes in the sink are the ones we just used.  That is a good feeling.  

On this week's to do list:  This week I need to buy cat litter and change boxes, Need to buy cat food.  Towels need washed and I really should put the clean clothes away so we can use the basket for dirty clothes

Currently reading:  I  finished reading  Safe by the Marshal's Side, and haven't picked a new book yet.

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.    This may be close to my last time watching it.....it is getting pretty stupid.    Not what I consider much of a FAMILY show anymore.  There is some pretty dumb stuff happening now.

I also watched almost all the Coal House episodes on YouTube.  I still have about 10 minutes of the last one to watch.  I need to find me some speakers to plug into this computer and I'll finish watching it.  Thank you Sandra for the recommendation.  I really enjoyed watching it.

I highly recommend AdBlock via Chrome Extension if you are going to watch online episodes.   AdBlock seems to do the trick and prevents most if not all pop-ups.  You can enable it and disable it as needed.  

On the menu this past week:
Monday We grabbed some burritos from a local taco place.
Tuesday  I can't remember
Wednesday  I can't remember
Thursday  We went out for Pizza
Friday .WE WERE OPEN!!!!!!!
Saturday  .For lunch we had belly buster potatoes from a local food vendor
Sunday  Had Chinese buffet for lunch

If I have a few minutes to myself this week, I will:  Visit some of my favorite blogs again, and sneak in lots of reading minutes and hopefully some video clips on YouTube.

New recipe I tried, or want to try this week: We've been discussing a java and glazed donut shake......what do you think?  We may try it this week.....or we may not.

Favorite photo from the camera:


Our church has a free clothing exchange the first weekend of each month.  This was one of my finds this time.  I LOVE this skirt!  I actually came home with 3 plastic grocery bags full of things for me, hubby, and a couple flat sheets that looked like good curtain material.




Visiting with blog friends (blog you want to share, blog post that caught your eye):  I think I've figured out why I couldn't comment on some blogs.....it has to do with the embedded comment box on blogger.  If it's the pop-up I can comment.  SO, now that I know that......  I really like reading Jones Clips.  Gavin and Carrie are missionaries in PNG.  About a  year ago they had quints born.  I found about them from a news post, and have been following their blog every since.  They have recently gone back to PNG.  

Praying for:  We are still looking into possibly getting a different building and some land next to it.  
My niece
Good Business
Approval for a business load to buy the building and land

OK I'm off to pay that bill and get stamps.  I can't wait to read everyone's HHM posts this week!  Hopefully I've figured out the comment issues I've had.
