Hi everyone! I'm feeling a lot better today! My sinuses are still giving me some grief but my body doesn't hurt the way it did. I'm taking my girlfriend out for lunch for her birthday today (she's also feeling better today) ... then we will hit our fav furniture/home decor store to browse and possibly buy ... we give each other gift cards from there for birthdays and Christmas and I have a number of them I could use. This is what I posted on Facebook yesterday ... I don't have A/C in my condo (I wish!) but my fan runs 24/7 in my bedroom ... any man I end up with some day will have to deal with it! I have no idea what dinner will be tonight ... my appetite is still off so there is a good chance that I will have rechauffe from lunch ... What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

Happy sunny Sunday! Today has been a standard Sunday here. DH went to the bakery to get breakfast, then we went to church, then came home and had lunch. DH went into work this afternoon to prepare for the week. He will ‘lose’ most of Tuesday due to flying to Mexico, so everything needs to be ready to go. I went out for a walk, and now I’m knitting with the football on in the background. Our game starts in about half an hour.
Dinner tonight is steaks and veggie kebabs on the grill. DH had everything organised and will cook once he gets home (or more likely, during the half time break in the football)

It's raining again so no walk today. I'll walk on the treadmill and read my book. Dinner will be Chicken Noodle Soup. This picture is another example of the snow up at Tahoe.

Happy Sunday!
Dh tries to make sense of the fact that I enjoy sleeping w/fan, but fully covered by my blankets. Hey, I'm a post menopausal woman. It happens!
Today I am going to do some organization in my scrap room. Dh has some good ideas for creating more space in there. Dinner will be tarragon chicken, rice pilaf and salad for dh.
Enjoy your day, my lovelies.

Hi Everyone, leannec It’s great that you are feeling better. Have a great lunch. sueg Your dinner sounds delicious. Enjoy knitting and watching the game. cadoodlebug Soup sounds so good for dinner. That picture is unbelievable. I hope this fixes the drought. scrapmaven Your dinner sounds great. Have fun in your scrap room. This morning I went to church and now there are 9 teenage boys yelling and having fun in the basement. We are expecting another 2 to show up. I am going to be in my scrap room this afternoon to prepare for my scrapbook day tomorrow at my friend’s house. Because of the party, I have no idea what dinner is going to be tonight. I hope all of you have a peaceful day.

Happy Sunday everyone! leannec so glad to hear you're feeling better! I'm having another putter day. I'm prepping for the quilt retreat I leave for on Wednesday afternoon. I'm taking enough prepped projects that I could stay for 3 weeks rather than 3 days, but I'm never sure exactly what I'll feel like working on. I need to do some mental meal prepping today too. My other major to-do for today is to grind 2 Costco bags of Coffee beans so I can freeze them ready to go. Last evening I had a leftover porkchop with apples, so tonight will be the ground chicken. wishing everyone a great day!!!

Hi good afternoon. A little shopping trip sounds good leannec as does organizing your craft room scrapmaven and yarn crafts are always good sueg. That snow in Tahoe is crazy cadoodlebug. I've never seen anything like it. I am finally making some headway in my craft spaces/office too. We put that new chair in yesterday and Jeremy took down that futon. It will go to Chloe's next weekend. Then I can really get inside Esther's room and do some organizing too. I did however just reorganize my CD collection. I'm a dinosaur. I still listen to CDs. But they were all over the floor in my office. Now it is all neat and tidy. The kids are coming in a couple of hours with my grandson. They requested scalloped potatoes with ham so that's what I will make. I've also made a bourbon pecan chocolate chip pie for dessert and I've got vanilla ice cream to go with it. My house is as clean as it's going to get before the cleaning comes on Tuesday. So I am most likely going to sew a bit. I have four more squares to go on my quilt top. Then I have to cut and sew the sashing. Here's a pick of my pie.

That picture is unbelievable. I hope this fixes the drought. The rain/snow has helped but we need more water storage that the powers-that-be haven't built. We voted years ago for money to do so but it hasn't been done. Therefore much of the rain/snow melt will go into the ocean. And there will be massive flooding on the way to the ocean.

My house is as clean as it's going to get before the cleaning comes on Tuesday. My cleaning lady comes tomorrow ... I don't plan to clean before she gets here ... am I weird? What do you clean in anticipation of your cleaning person's arrival? I live alone with no pets so my place is not really dirty ... Should I start pre-cleaning?

I tidied because I'm having company today. If I wasn't I wouldn't have cleaned anything. I do pick up clutter before my cleaning lady comes.

No baseball game again due to rain. I am kind of over this weather now. I would like warm, sunny days again!
My community (both where I live and disabled community) could use some prayers. A young life was taken due to their disability and my heart aches so much for my friend.
We are running errands today and then I plan to work on some more cards.
Tonight, while cold and gloomy, I am serving salads. We are all ready for lighter meals.

Dinner will be shrimp scampi(DH's request)...I bought some yummy looking tomatoes at TJ's to add to the scampi. I'll make a caesar salad to go with.
I do daily swiffering...if not we would be up to our eyeballs in dog hair...Otherwise I don't clean before my cleaning lady comes. I do pick up clutter.
jeremysgirl...I wanna eat at your house too!!! That Pie😳😳😳

What do you clean in anticipation of your cleaning person's arrival? I live alone with no pets so my place is not really dirty ... Should I start pre-cleaning? I don’t pre-clean. I mainly have my cleaner in to do the bathrooms, kitchen, floors and windows. I make sure the kitchen benches are not too cluttered and the floors are generally clear, but that’s all.

I don’t think people mean they actually CLEAN before the housekeeper comes. Most of us are just getting rid of the clutter that accumulates. I want her to be able to actually clean, not have to deal with a bunch of junk we left lying around the place. If you live alone with no pets and pick up after yourself as you go, it’s probably not an issue for you.

Sister is here. I bought some giant artichokes (which she doesn’t see much of in New England), so I’ll steam those, and we can pick at the rechauffe in the fridge or have cheese and crackers or something.

Yes and if you live with Jeremy, clutter is a huge issue.🤣 I just discovered he has an entire crate of paperwork sitting behind his end table and the wall. 🙄

I clean and Dh deep cleans. He can do the scrubbing and stuff that requires elbow grease. karenlou, they need to invent a swiffer that we can just use directly on our pets. There's cat hair everywhere around here.

Happy Sunday! We had a lovely time celebrating M's birthday last night. Then came home and promptly went to bed! There were about 16 or so of us and we had tacos al pastor. They were not quite as good as the other of the 2 locations. But a highlight is that Nick's other daughter came with her partner (ok, he is not so lovely) and while there is still some tension, for it being only the 3rd time I have been around her, it was nice. Most of all. Nick was so happy, and Michael had a great birthday, and I am just grateful to be part of it all. Today we slept late, had a nice breakfast at home, and now we are headed out to a 2nd family party. His cousin's little guy is turning 8. He is on the spectrum and literally only eats chicken nuggets from DQ, so we have a gift card. I don't know how that's okay but I have never parented him and I'm sure they are doing the best they can. So we will help the cause! The party is at a pizza place so that will likely be our early dinner. Then we will head up to MI to jeremysgirl for some of that pie! Hope you are having a nice visit with plenty of baby cuddles! I've told Nick once we get a few more house projects done we are going to have someone come in and clean every other week. We are both so tired and the deep cleaning doesn't really happen on a schedule. We are planning an addition to the house and I can imagine once that starts things will be a zoo, plus the dust. For once in my life I'd like to experience that clean calm house feeling and not be wiped out after. 😁 This picture makes me so happy! Attachments:

tmarschall , I would totally have a crush on your husband if I met him. He is just my type. ETA please don’t be mad I said that. I’m practically old enough to be his mother.

Good Sunday Afternoon! Glad you are feeling better leannec. That pie looks delicious jeremysgirl. I’ve been to the grocery store, done laundry and some cleaning. About an hour ago we realized the septic system wasn’t working. DH is out there now working on it. I feel bad for him. It is only 30F. I am not a fan of Spring. The up and down in the temps drives me nuts. Yesterday we woke up to snow. It was crazy windy all day and the temperature never reached 20F. Come on Mother Nature, we’re heading to the end of March. Get it together! I’ve got chili going for dinner. All the kids and grands are supposed to come over but we’ll have to see if the septic gets fixed.

Hey all - hope you're all having a good weekend! Not sure what's for dinner - I may talk my husband into going out, even though we had dinner at friends last night. Where's that picture from cadoodlebug ? I swear it looks just like a picture my husband sent me from a snow wall in Japan - too crazy!
