OK, it will be Roasted Salmon with Crispy Potatoes, Burst Tomatoes and Green Beans ... looks yummy! No showings booked today yet so I may not have to sit at Starbucks! This is what I posted on Facebook today ... Henry came in second? Second? What is the world coming to? Happy happy birthday tuesdaysgone! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight?

Wishing tuesdaysgone a very Happy Birthday followed by a joyous and fun year. teddyw there is a first responder/military/teacher discount at Sleep Number of $900. I love my new Sleep Number. It's well worth it and you'll get the discount. leannec, as much as I want your house to sell, I hope that you can just relax at home today. sueg, so nice to hear that you're having so much fun w/your family and your granddaughters. This is my last day as a pet sitter. I'll miss my favorite doggie, but it'll be nice to just feed my own cats. One of my cats does NOT like the new guy. He gives me the once over every time I get home. Apart from that, I'm just resting today. Tuesday night I'm going to a ballgame and that will take lots of energy. So, I'll lay low at the puzzle and save my energy. Enjoy Sunday!

Hey leannec! I'm glad you get to stay home today but not glad that you don't have more showings. Frankly, I'm shocked because your house looks fabulous. I thought for sure it would sell quickly. What does your ex think about it? Has the market cooled off up there? I was going to scrapbook today. I've decided I will take the first step today. I will print my landscaping photos out. I will do this and just see where it leads me. I also keep thinking about working a bit today. I really don't want to because it's Sunday and yada yada yada. But on the flip side I feel like if I could just get out of work early tomorrow I could help my mom unpacked her kitchen. The movers come tomorrow morning. I also need to take her pottery over there. She has quite a bit of handmade pottery and there was no way I was taking the chance of boxing that stuff yesterday. I was like, I will come to your house and move it myself. Tonight I will finally make the chickpea noodle soup. I will also work on some fresh bread.

I'm going to take the first step to scrapping today, as well, jeremysgirl. I'm going to do just a bit of organizing. I have a wedding album to scrap for my doggie friend's hoomans. So, I need to get all of my wedding stuff together.

Happy Birthday, tuesdaysgone! I hope you have something relaxing and fun planned. I was up early too because I wanted to say good-bye to DS heading off to Yosemite for a few days. Five minutes after leaving he came flying through the front door, grabbed his hiking boots and was gone again. I'm way behind schedule but my plans for the day are to walk, read, garden and maybe nap. The garden part will be planting a pineapple top. I've been told if you plant it, a new plant will grow. I will keep you updated. We are having dinner with our local besties tonight, so Balinese food followed by pie from the shop in the Top Gun house is the plan. They serve hand pies, so if you order a la mode, the ice cream is inside the pastry. I promise photos will follow.

Hey leannec! I'm glad you get to stay home today but not glad that you don't have more showings. Frankly, I'm shocked because your house looks fabulous. I thought for sure it would sell quickly. What does your ex think about it? Has the market cooled off up there? He is resigned to the fact that it is summer and the market has slowed down ... nothing in my very nice neighbourhood is moving so it's not just us ... Things will pick up soon as people want to be moved before Christmas. I just don't want to be moving in the snow!

Summer usually is prime time in Michigan because no one wants to move in the snow!

'm surprised. Summer usually is prime time in Michigan because no one wants to move in the snow! Summer is slow here ... people are in the mountains or parks ... outdoorsy people who like to camp which does not describe me! All of the people who are in British Columbia on vacation right now will come back after the long weekend and things will pick up.

Things have slowed down a bit for us. All the arrangements for MIL are complete and we just got home from meeting with the Officiant.
Our next door door neighbours just knocked on the door with a pan of lasagna and a salad for our supper. So kind.
My oldest son and his family have gone to a hotel with a water park for the night so I'm having a sleepover at their house to look after our grand dog, Tilly. It will be nice to be alone, eat my snacks, watch tv and snuggle with the pup and think about nothing.

Yesterday was a great day. My sister and one of my cousins arranged a meetup of all the female cousins on my dad's side of the family. We also had my auntie - the only one of the women of her generation still living - a second cousin and my step-mum there. Dad and the second cousin's dad also came along, and one of my auntie's granddaughters was there too. We all brought food - many things favourites that our nanna used to make - and had a wonderful time catching up.
Not sure what I'm doing today yet. Sophia is not well - threw up just after she woke up - so plans to go to see her gymnastics, then hang out together are out the window. There is a Picasso exhibition at the main Art Gallery in the city, so if I can get tickets for that, I will head in and then maybe do some shopping.

What are you doing to redecorate? destined2bmom Ok so I made chickpea noodle soup for dinner tonight. Jeremy asked earlier what was for dinner and I told him. His response was that it was missing the protein. I told him he would have plenty of chickpeas to get his protein. Haha. So I went to make the dinner and he bought chicken broth instead of veggie. My meal would have been vegan but for the chicken broth. So I pointed out to him that I had asked for veggie. So we eat dinner and I'm like what did you think? And he says that the dinner was really good. He didn't even miss the chicken. And I was like ok. And then he followed up with it was the chicken broth that made the whole soup! It wouldn't have been the same with veggie broth. 🤣😂 And this, my friends is why my house will never be vegetarian.

Happy Birthday! tuesdaysgonejeremysgirl I don’t like chickpeas so that soup is not enticing to me. I know they have a lot of protein though. In college a girl I knew from Long Island called them Guinea peas? Not sure if they still do. Came to the lake and I wanted to kayak tonight while it was light out. Some guy was doing doughnuts with his boat and making big waves. I didn’t last long. I didn’t want to tip over. Made BLTs with extra T bc2ca sounds like a perfect day. I really miss not having a garden this year.
