What a relaxing Saturday. The last Saturday of January. Where did the month go?
When is groundhog day? I sure would like to know when spring is coming!
Got a few things accomplished today. The furnace room is less a few binders. Thanks Rose!!! The laundry room is a little fuller - thanks son for bringing all your dirtly laundry. One question though, if you brought me all your dirty laundry, why is your bedroom floor still covered in clothes????? So I'm going to start laundry tonight and when I am finished tomorrow, anything that wasn't in the laundry room will have to wait until next week!!!!!!!!!!!!! (That's the plan and I'm going to do my best to stick to it.)
Worked a little bit on my story. I had the son read some of it. He wasn't impressed. Said it was too factual. He has offered to edit it when I'm finished. Could be the next mother, son writing team. (Caroline Todd and Charles Todd: - A Matter of Justice)(Anne Rice and Christopher Rice) , just to name a couple .
Spent a good part of the morning getting my meal menu planned for the upcoming week. Not something I've done lately, but I have a very busy week and it seemed the best thing to do. So with a meal menu comes a grocery list. I'm going to drag the son and husband along Sunday night to do the shopping. Hopefully with them along I can stick to the list!!!!!!!
Tonight for supper was clean out the fridge night. Grabbed some perogies from the freezer along with some frozen baby back ribs. The son grabbed some frozen hamburger and vegetables and made a stir fry. Didn't really turn out to look like a stir fry, but tasted good. So instead we grabbed some taco shells and that's where the stir fry ended up. I left the son cooking while I quickly ran downstairs. Barely got into my office when the smoke alarm went off, which means the dog went off too. Apparently the son opened the oven door to check out the ribs and although they weren't burning, the sauce was "smokin". Ran upstairs and Bill had the doors open and was "vaccuming the air". It must have helped because the alarm stopped shortly after that. So then of course the alarm company calls, but when Bill picked up the phone it cut out. He was waiting for them to call back, but I encouraged him to call them back(I've played this card before) and ensure them it was a false alarm. So he did reluctantly. Got everything on the table and the doorbell rings. I knew who it was before I answered the door (and I hadn't combed my hair all day) Yup, it was the firemen. I explained that it was a false alarm and we had contacted the alarm company. They received the cancellation call, and cancelled all other trucks, but because they were already dispatched, they had to come out. Note to self. Be sure to call the alarm company asap and cancel before they dispatch the fire department. Oh wait, that's what I usually do................................................... It didn't help that when the nice young fireman called Maya cute, she tried to take a nip out of his gloves........
Enough excitement for one day, or even one weekend.
Watched a movie on TV "A Few Good Men." Now I'm pretty sure I've seen that movie 5 or 6 times, but I love it. It reminds me of why I fell in love with Tom Cruise...... and why I'm scared of Jack Nicholson. "I can't handle the truth."
Joke: Q: What word begins with the letter "F" and ends in "UCK"?
A: FIRETRUCK.
BODY: I'd like to think I got in 10,000 steps today. Unfortunately my pedometer fell off sometime around noon and I never found it again until after supper. But just in case it didn't, I think sleeping in until 10:00ish was just perfect for my body today.
MIND: "Sing out loud in the car even, or especially, if it embarrasses your children." ~Marilyn Penland. Something I like to live by.
Good night
