Hi everyone! I am putting some things away before ex and the home stager get here in just over an hour ... my house will actually look like someone lives here! (I've been living with very little furniture for a very long time!) I think the photographer comes on Monday ... There will be a parade of family, friends and neighbours coming through tomorrow to see how the place looks ... everyone is so curious! I'll post a few photos tomorrow My kitchen is quite small compared to the size of my house ... it was a sticking point when we bought the place but I learned to live with it ... it meant that I cooked alone though ... no room for anyone else in the kitchen ... this led to the fact that I never taught my dd's how to cook ... oops! This is what I posted on Facebook today: At least I'll be comfortable in a smallish condo kitchen! I have done quite a bit of cooking this week ... all of my meal kits So I'll order takeout tonight ... maybe my old standby - pork dumplings from my fav Chinese place! Oh, I need to show you this photo off dd#1 and her boyfriend ... they were in Montreal at a music festival a few days ago ... to be young again! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a great Saturday everybody!

My mom and I are headed to a baby shower. I believe it's a taco bar for lunch. Going to be really careful what I eat!! It's blazing hot and humid here! So dinner might just be something simple. I am worried about jeremysgirl. I know scrapmaven said she was ok but I am still concerned.

Just after dinner last night, our weather turned. At about 9:15, I went out to walk, as I hadn't made my exercise minutes for the day, and it started to spit rain as I walked out the door. By the time I got home, it had increased, and the lightening had started. Within half an hour, it was pelting down. It also dropped our temperature drastically - after it hitting 33°C yesterday, today it has struggled up to 19°. Pretty normal, boring Saturday - grocery shopping and then knitting while watching the football this afternoon. The season here kicked off last night with a big win for my team, so all is good! I was talking to my younger DS this morning. He is visiting his brother and family for the weekend, and mentioned that Sophia had informed him that Oma is coming to visit soon, and that she is very excited! In less than 2 weeks I will be there! Dinner tonight is tacos - with the cool change, we decided not to grill tonight and have something different for a change. It took some searching to find the Mexican ingredients section of the new supermarket, but we found everything we need. They stock a different brand to what we are used to, so it will be interesting to see how much we like it. christine58 - jeremysgirl was quite active on the August craft thread earlier today.

Hi christine58 I'm alright. I had a really rough weekend last weekend. And some posts here just really triggered my grief pretty badly. I needed some time away to just be for a while. And I've decided to come back but only to the dinner and craft threads. I'm trying to avoid stress and drama right now. Thank you for thinking of me. It is NASCAR weekend in Michigan. What this means is that I will see very little of my husband. It's alright though I'm welcoming some alone time. I went to the little grocery downtown this morning and I have just returned home from a pedicure. It was very nice. And my toes look so pretty. I'm not sure what I will do with the rest of my day. I have a blanket I want to finish. See craft thread. But it is super hot and humid here and my air conditioner seems to be struggling right now. I'm not sure if it'll keep my house cool enough for me to handle crocheting under a blanket. I picked up all sorts of things at the store this morning. Just things for me to eat solo. We will see what I make tonight.

Good morning. I am still working on cleaning my house for company this afternoon (two of my sisters in laws. I have five total). I haven’t been cleaning this whole time (my house isn’t THAT bad 😂). I just didn’t want to any more yesterday. I am also going to a neighboring town with more stores this afternoon to grocery shop and run some other errands and look at more house idea stuff. There’s a bunch of decisions to be made and I just really like to think and ponder the choices a lot.
Haven’t decided on dinner yet. I made a menu for the week so I could shop but I’m also hoping something else inspires me at the store because honestly I’m not that into anything I planned. Lol They just ticked the most important boxes to me: easy/low effort, and dh likes and will make good leftovers to cut down on cooking later. I make stuff I care about for my lunches. I mean I COULD make stuff I care about for dinner as dh is basically happy with anything, I just don’t really want to bother.

jeremysgirl happy to see you. After I finish cooking and clean up my counters I want to show you my backsplash I tiled with minute help from dh. Don’t get excited because it’s very neutral. Went to the farmers market and got kale,basil,garlic,tomatoes,green beans,sunflowers & bread. We’re having kale and white bean pesto pasta for dinner. Hopefully I have enough Parmesan. sueg so excited for your trip.

leannec looking forward to seeing the pictures you will be posting tomorrow. I love to get ideas on how some homes get staged. Dinner will be baked chicken with stuffing and cranberry.

leannec my FIL used to love hovering over me in my small kitchen while I cooked. Drove me nuts. 😂 Now it's a fond memory. Today I return to the chiropractor. My first visit left me vertical and his recommendations have really helped. DS tested negative on Wednesday and came home today for a couple of nights. So nice to see him healthy and home. The little wonder was overjoyed. Tonight DS wants Mexican takeout.

We got home this am. I just took a migraine med and will probably sleep for a few hours. Meanwhile, we came home to an explosion of ds's boxes and stuff. He's still waiting for his apartment. I hate clutter and mess. Ok, Whiney McComplainy will stop now. Dinner is rechauffe and Hacks. I need to post on the Netflix thread, because it's really enjoyable. I'm looking fwd to seeing your staged house, tmw, leannec. I hope you find a condo w/a really perfectly sized kitchen. Happy weekend, my tribe.

Omg I am trying to hold my #### together. I gave my sewing machine and serger to my son. He has a clothing business. I gave him all the old notions I had and everything was gone. My dad bought me a lovely new sewing machine and I bought $300 worth of notions. They are all gone. The cookie tin they were in has some kimono pins in it. I don’t want to lose it on him but there is $15 worth of stuff left.No one goes into my sewing room. No one is allowed in the storage rooms. I am close to Pea Livid.

Happy Saturday all! DH is in charge of dinner, so I'm sure he'll bbq something. Trying to make sure kids have everything they need to return to school in a few weeks - summer just flew! I'm going to miss them so much!

I am over it. I needed a tape measure last night. I am not mad. I will go buy new stuff and life will go on.
I was just very surprised last night. The drama is over.

it is humid today.. a bit warm (like 64) and some clouds. the whole town is at a music event in golden gate park. I would love to hear Green Day who is headlining tonight, but I don't do music festivals any more.

Want to hear about my big oops last night? We showed up to the theatre with tickets for tonight. I was looking at both nights, trying to decide and they had pretty much the same limited seats available, so I thought I'd bought for Friday. I figured we were just going to come back but an employee insisted he check availability to switch them out first. So we had a great customer service experience and saw a really fun show. I added an extra loop to my walk and hit 6.35 miles this morning. And then preemptively iced my knee. It feels fine, but it feels better after icing if that makes sense. This afternoon we are heading to ArtWalk in San Diego followed by Greek for dinner. Yes, that would mean Greek at least three times this week. We are fans and this is a new to us restaurant that is included in the San Diego Restaurant gift card burning a hole in DH's wallet.

teddyw, that tile looks great. Will you please come and do my backsplash? Migraine is much better after taking meds. Better living through chemistry! bc2ca, I bought tickets to a baseball game for the wrong night. We got to the game and thank goodness someone in customer service took pity on us and the game wasn't sold out. So, they gave us seats. WHEW! It happens!
