Slow Saturday

It's raining. A nice steady rain.

Very soothing.

Cloudy here. Like the fool I am, went to an antique market this a.m. and bought a couple of things. What are we ever going to do with all this stuff? None of our relatives here are interested...

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Have a garage sale Karl.

I want cake.

I'm craving peanut butter cookies so badly I'm googling gluten free recipes. They still look dangerous. I may as well just sit down with the PB jar and a spoon. At least I'd save myself the sugar.

NJN, a good idea, but unfortunately, Garage sales are unknown over here. And a sale of any kind would mean opening up the house to one and all. Plus that fact that since there are no garage sales there is no place to advertise if we have one. Sigh... Well, something will happen, I guess.

Could always contact a clean up group, but they charge quite a bit. Or get a recycle shop to take some... Have sold some through a couple of antique dealers and given them a commission (40% over here).

I'm up. Just slowly getting moving. Trying to clean up a little before going to the gym. Nothing planned today.

Overcast day...DH and I are going to his granddaughter's soccer game this morning.

DD woke me up because there is a big brown moth on her ceiling. Sighh, told her we can't kill it when it is on the ceiling because it will stain the ceiling and too hard to clean off that plaster texture. Have to wait for it to move to a wall.

Easy day to day. Think I will go to a local farm store today.

In a bit of shock this morning.

My cousin died during the night. She was in her late 50s, or maybe early 60s. She had been having some medical issues but nothing life threatening. Her husband called this morning about 6:30. They met and adopted their son while she worked for a care facility for adults with special needs. He 20 at the time and has the mental awareness of a 12 year old. This woman did all my flowers and made my hat/veil for my wedding. Her husband wrote and sang a song for my wedding. She was always smiling and so much fun to be around.

It's strange.

I keep remembering her talking about what she wanted when she died. This was a couple decades ago. She said she didn't want flowers, she wants balloons. She loved balloons.

Crazy. Just wow.

I'm hearing things like this more and more. I'm very sorry, Lily. I hope she gets a lot of balloons at her funeral.

Crappy water pressure from a Mickey Mouse shower head? Must be at my sister's lol my poor hair, took twice as long to shower and I'm not sure I got all the shampoo out.

Today my nephew turns 6. He has chosen Taco Bell for lunch and Grandma and Grandpa are taking him to buy a new bike. He came in to wake me up this morning. He climbed into bed for a little cuddle time, so sweet. I showed him a picture of me holding him at the hospital, on this day, 6 years ago. I'll admit, I got a little teary.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Aww.... how sweet.

Happy birthday to your nephew.

Unscrew the shower head and take it off. take a q-tip and clean out the the part of the shower head that screws onto the plumbing. I have to do that every so often because the sediment or such in the water gets trapped in the shower head. Works like a charm.

Happy birthday to nephew!

Lily, I am so sorry to hear of your loss and heaven's gain. May she have a ton of balloons at her funeral.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

So I went and dropped DD11 off to her friends to go to a party thing for friend's birthday. DD11 was upset because her friend is 6 months older and will eventually get her permit and license sooner. And then she says "and she'll get to vote before me". I said she'd also get to drink before you to when she turns 21. She was like "I don't care about that, that's just stupid alcohol, but she will get to VOTE."

I'm so proud.

CLR Take it off and soak it in CLR. It will take off all the nasty stuff and it will run clear. I know CLR isn't "natural" but it works like a charm.

There's a pumpkin patch we wanted to take SS to but DN has a bunch of homework and Sparkly has to work till late so we'll probably go tomorrow.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

First Saturday in 6 or so weeks that I didn't go in to work. I am finally able to give some things to my assistant to complete. He is finally trained and ready to take on some responsibilities so I delegated the crap out of some things yesterday.

Slept in. Took the dog out to play with the neighbor dog. A Burmese mountain dog and my 7 lb toy terrier, such a funny couple! Now I am being lazy and watching some tv. Later, dishes and laundry while I open some wine. Good day!

I started painting my nails yesterday, but didn't like the color. Now I'm using a royal blue, to give the Colts good luck!

Just one thing, though. Please don't release balloons into the air. They cause so much damage to wildlife. They've found dead sea turtles and dolphins, with stomachs full of balloon rubber. The strings are also dangerous. Animals get tangled up. I tried to care for a duck whose legs were tightly bound by balloon strings. She could still fly but not walk or swim properly. The circulation was cut off and the legs dropped off. She died. So, be careful as to what you do with balloons. They have to land somewhere.

NH has actually outlawed the mass balloon release due to the harm to animals.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Yes. I talked to DN about releasing balloons when they got married but thought about releasing them that close to the ocean. We'll do something else.

Soo did all my errands, got the pumpkins. Sam's Club has huge ones for $10 each, cheaper than the farm so I got two. Bought 2 homemade chicken pot pies at the farm. One for dinner tonight plus there will be enough leftovers for a few lunches next week. The other one will be for another time.

I have tons of apples, it is apple season here. I love gala apples, very naturally sweet. Some I picked up about a month ago are starting to get a bit soft so I am making applesauce. I think applesauce with the chicken pot pie is a perfect meal. I don't put sugar in my applesauce. Cinnamon and nutmeg.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I need to make pot pies. They are so good but I hate the store bought ones. Someone here sent me a recipe. I need to try it.

Yep, I don't buy the store bought ones either, I go to the farm stand where they are made right there.

The store bought ones are way too salty for me. I don't salt a lot of foods at home so that could be why. I'm not knocking store bought pot pies. Those were another food that I ate like crazy growing up and just don't like now. They also don't seem to have enough meat.

I have a really delicious recipe for turkey cranberry pot pie. It sounds weird but it's really delicious. You slow cook the filling in the crock pot all day and then throw it into a crust and cook it long enough for the crust to be done. It's the best recipe I've found.

No one is releasing balloons.

It seems she had a heart attack.

Both she and he husband got up around 5:30 this morning and went to the bathroom. He took his daily meds and they went back to sleep.

He said he woke up cause he heard her mumble something and then noticed she was breathing strange.

He couldn't wake her so he called 911.

She was DOA.

It seemed to be quick.

Cranberries are good in almost anything. I put them in chicken salad I make and sometimes egg salad. i don't buy many frozen grocery store products due to the sodium content, plus I find most pretty tasteless. Buying fresh from the farms we have is awesome. Just watch the gravy you put into your own pot pie, if you use store bought gravy that is the source of the sodium.

Yeah, I prefer to do my own sauce. That's usually where the sodium comes in.

lily, sorry to hear about your friend. That is always heartbreaking.

BFF is in town from Florida with two (b18, g4) of her five kids (g24, g21 and g16). It's my birthday but I took her out for a day of pampering - professional cut and color, mani, pedi. Now we are getting ready to head out for dinner - Mexican.

Oh, and the best present. I have no more hives! The shots have worked. Now to wait that it stays that way.
