Lovely day in the 80s yesterday
The frog is in the house! I was out working around the pond yesterday and our frog decided to make an appearance. We also have a garter snake in residence. Of course where there’s one garter snake there are usually more. I don’t mind them.
Lovely day yesterday…
Temperatures in the low seventies. Lots of sun. Made for a lovely day. Check out my pictures!
Another sucky diet book…
I’m so glad I didn’t pay for it. It was a freebie on my Kindle. I really hate these so-called diet books that are nothing but a sermon and insane, difficult to follow instructions or formulas. OH, PLEASE!!!
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I pick up a diet book to find menus and meals that are healthy and weight reducing. I do not pick a diet book up to have a lecture on my health that I already know needs improvement. Um, if I wasn’t concerned about my health would I be looking at diet books?
I really don’t care why you wrote a book on dieting when you don’t include any menus or meals. I have enough on my mind. I do not have the energy or the time to figure out your crazy formulas.
I would kill to find the handwritten menus I have lost somewhere in my house, or something comparable. They were to a diet that actually worked like a dream. A very balanced diet that melted the pounds off me so nicely many years ago and kept them off for a very long time. I need those handwritten pages back…sob.
I’m going to tackle the file cabinet in the attic once again on the off-chance that I somehow missed the pages the last fifty times I searched it.
You all have a good one.
A new toy in the kitchen
I ordered a bacon/grill press last week. It arrived yesterday. I tested it last night on our breakfast for dinner, dinner. I made sausage patties and French toast. These sausage patties are what we get from Five Star Foods. I love them but I never liked how they’d curl up. I’d have to snip them four or five times around the edges to keep them flat.
The press worked nicely. I am pleased, now I can’t wait to use it with my grill pan. Oh, the paninis and other goodies I will make!
You all have a good one!
I accomplished absolutely nothing yesterday…again.
Ever have one of those days where you pop out of bed all eager and ready to embrace the day and get things done? Yeah, I don’t either.
I don’t know about you but I tend to look at the clock, roll over, and try to get ‘a few more minutes’ in. If I’m lucky, those few more minutes turn into maybe a half hour and some good dreaming. I’m seldom lucky.
Normally, I hear The Curmudgeon fussing at the dogs or moaning and groaning about heaven knows what on the TV. That will definitely make you want to roll over and squeeze out a few minutes or hours of more sleep.
When I do drag my over-tired, over-stressed corpse out of bed, I try to put off going downstairs a while longer by doing some Yoga. I somehow miss out on finding Nirvana though…If you ever do find it let me know what it was like.
You all have a good one!
I live with three kids…two of them have four feet
Hehehe, we got our Daddy on floor with us. It’s time to get wild and play!!!
Pictures because I am lazy today…
In case any of you have wondered what my desk top looks like, this is what is on my right side and on the top.
Yes, there are two skinny pictures to keep reminding me of my goal. No, we won’t talk about all my toys. 😛
My batty Pez holder is empty…need more Pez.
You all have a good one!
Waiting for checks
I wonder if the people I owe money to would believe that the reason I haven’t sent them any checks is because I ran out and I am waiting for some to get here?
It’s true and I feel like quite the twit about it. I meant to reorder them, I really did, but things in this house never seem to fall on the sane side. I forgot. I completely forgot all about them.
You all have a good one.

Today is Patty’s 9th Birthday.
Since she was a rescue dog, we’ll never know for certain when Patty was born, but today was the day we chose for her. She’s our April fool. I should say, she’s her Daddy’s April fool. As far as she’s concerned I am the alpha but her heart belongs to him.
Happy Birthday Patty. Holy cow, you are now nine!
Interesting birds showed up yesterday
I was rather surprised to see two downy woodpeckers and a lovely little nuthatch had decided that our tulip poplar needed an inspection. This was the best shot I could get from the kitchen window.
You all have a good one!
