Hi everyone! I remembered to post today! I'm posting early because I have a few things to do around the house before I meet my mum for breakfast at Denny's ... This is the meme I was going to post yesterday ... I no longer have a dog but I did have dogs for many many years ... spoiled dogs ... big spoiled dogs ... they were definitely allowed on the furniture ... that's why it was leather! My day will be low key ... as usual ... I'll invite my mum over for dinner ... my Hello Fresh box gets delivered today so we'll have something out of that tonight I hope your camping trip is going well tmarschall! Have you left for your vacation sueg? When do you leave for your cruise scrapmaven? Where are you going? What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

Hi Everyone, leannec Your meme is cute. Have fun with your Mum. We have a very spoiled pooch. Today I am going to church and coming home to descale my coffee machine. I have decided to give it to my sons for college and I am getting a new one. Other than doing the usual, I have nothing else planned. My YDS had a great time with his friends yesterday and he actually did all of the cleanup. I don’t have a clue what dinner is going to be tonight. I have to see what everyone wants. I hope all of you have a peaceful day.

leannec you need to post the meme you posted on Facebook this morning. I thought that was so you! Jeremy is having movie time this morning. I'm trying to be quiet. I am not a quiet person. I am working on a crochet blanket. I have brought it out of the archives because someone I know is having a baby girl in November and this will make the perfect gift. I may just put in my earbuds and listen to an audiobook so I can stop bugging Jeremy with my talking. We are going to go to Sam's club after the movie. I need some things. Chloe is coming to dinner. I'm unsure what to cook. I might get some stuffed salmon and take a steak out for Jeremy. I've got his work clothes in the wash too. But I will wait on the rest of the laundry until Tuesday I think so I have enough clean clothes to last me through the weekend and well into next week. When you go away for a weekend the last thing you want to have to do is laundry the minute you walk in the door.

Good morning! We'll walk this morning while it's still cool then do stuff around the house. We're hoping to get the two bathrooms finished before DH's niece and her family visit in mid September with his sister to celebrate his sister's 80th birthday. Add in DS and at least one step-sister and we'll have a house full! Dinner might be Jalapeno Popper Chicken. When you're cooking dinner and the recipe says to chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Hi everyone! Camping has been good but I am wiped out. Our friend came yesterday and hung out and it was not as relaxing, esp for a short trip. So new camp "rule"...on short weekends it should really just be us most of the time. My internet hasn't been stable unless I use Nick's Hotspot, so that's something we may consider when thinking about this place for a possible seasonal spot next year. People have been friendly, sites are spacious and there's even a little swimming lake with a sandy beach. The shrimp tacos have been the winner for the weekend. I'm gettibg ready to make coffee and maybe bacon to go with our Blueberry muffins. Nick is going to get going breaking things down as we need to leave in a couple hrs. He did a fair amount last night when I took a nap. We are considering coming back next weekend. The weather is supposed to be nicer.
I suspect dinner will be pizza or Chinese take out. Something easy. Hope everyone has a restful Sunday!

tmarschall I went on a week long camping trip in the middle of the Allegheny national forest for Jeremy's family. They believe you must go, go, go. Hike, hike, hike. And then being with 10 people for a whole week and his mom living in our camper and I was like, I will never do that again. I also cooked 5 meals and prepared a whole bunch of snacks because his family really can't cook. Thank God they had a handicapped unisex shower because we showered together and I swear that was the only alone time we got on the whole trip. I will never do that again. Also, in some of the camping groups we are in they were recommending Verizon internet. So we switched over at home. It's just a plug in cube. We can take it with us when we camp and just plug it in anywhere. We haven't yet given it a try but will on our September trip.

Good Morning!
I feel like it should already be late afternoon. The grandkids were all up early. After breakfast a couple of them went on a walk with me. I finally finished picking up the yard. Getting ready to wash my Jeep and clean the inside out. It has the lingering smell of the fair in it.
It is a beautiful day. I don’t think it is supposed to be too hot or humid today. A nice change.
Dinner is up in the air.

I'm looking fwd to seeing your meme leannec. Enjoy breakfast w/your mom. What a nice tradition for the two of you. I wish that camping didn't require so much work. It's such a peaceful and nice getaway. We leave next Saturday and we're trying not to pack the kitchen sink. I need to load books onto my tablet and when we board I'll find the puzzle area. There's always a puzzle on a cruise. We're not partiers, but we do enjoy the serenity on our balcony and nothing is better than sleeping on the ocean. It's so soothing. In my next life I want a boat. destined2bmom, when you posted, I giggled a bit. It sounded like you were planning to spend your day de-scaling your coffee maker. hehe. Might I suggest an InstantPod? I love mine. It's a single brewer that does both k-cups and Nespresso and it's much better than my old Keurigs. Happy travels, sueg. Enjoy today, my wonderful tribe.

Now I pay $25 a month for Verizon. it’s a nice cool day here so not sure what I’m gonna do. I need to sort through some things to take on my weekend crop in two weeks. I have to start my colonoscopy prep in a couple of days. Well actually tomorrow with certain things that you can’t eat.

Im going to try to make Grilled Steak Burritos with Cilantro Lime Rice and black beans as a side. Pray for me, Im totally winging it. Sometimes that goes terribly and other times it goes well (and then I cant remember how I did it!)

I forgot to post my dinner. It's going to be tacos.
Meanwhile, I might post photos later or ask for help, because the kittens were outside playing in the backyard. They were tumbling and chasing eachother. I'm concerned that they're getting too old and mama might abandon them. We're trying to find a rescue who can take them and foster them, but it's kitten season and folks are up their ears in cats.

Here is the meme I posted on Facebook today: I have no intention of getting married anytime soon but with my track record I will probably be wearing a sari! I love watching "Say Yes To the Dress"! I've seen every episode of the New York and Atlanta and Canada AND UK versions ... yes, I have a problem! I want my dd's to have great weddings in the future but, truthfully, I would rather give them the cash for something practical like real estate.

Post by scrapmaven on Jul 30, 2023 16:59:39 GMT
That's a good meme, leannec. I believe that age is a number, but not a gauge of loving feelings. If you love him then you love him. ITA about giving your children money for real estate instead of an 8 hour party, but if they want weddings then that's OK, too. In my case, we bought a house before we got married. Once I had a baby, the wedding seemed a lifetime away. As much as I loved my wedding day, having my children was so much bigger.

The reason why I love that meme leannec is a conversation I was having with BFF yesterday. My give a damn meter is broken. I just flat out don't give a single fuck what anyone thinks of me outside of my character. I'm wearing whatever I want (I don't a rip if it flatters me, if I like it, it's mine) and not wearing what I don't want. COVID got me saying goodbye to makeup and that's the way I'm going to stay. So, girl, if you want to wear a wedding dress, I say, have at it. Wear it to Denny's for Sunday breakfast every single week. I promise that I won't be the person staring. Because my give a damn is broken for others too.

Happy Sunday all! What an absolutely gorgeous day here. It’s a balmy 24 degrees and the sun is shining. It’s the perfect temperature! DH and I went into the city this morning to grab a couple things. He needed an oil filter because he’s going ti change the oil in his truck today. We also got a couple dog toys. Walker keeps taking his toys outside and they get wet and filthy. So he now has a couple new ones that will stay in the house. And yes, he’s a very spoiled puppy! scrapmaven: My grandboys cat had 3 kittens a few months ago. They still have them! No one wants them and they are free! The mom is a stray that showed up months ago. They fed her and she stayed and then she had kittens! They are incredibly cute but now they have 4 cats. Supper will be grilled hotdogs and corn on the cob. A local farmer always has amazing corn and we stopped on the way home from the city and grabbed some. Looking forward to having it tonight.

I thought of doing that. I have to look to see the size of the tortillas the shipt guy brought. Ds put them away. If big enough, both rice and beans are going in the burritos, along with peppers and onions.

I believe that age is a number, but not a gauge of loving feelings. If you love him then you love him. We do love each other but a future is just not in the cards ... our families would both have conniptions ... his would disown him ... He needs to find a nice young Indian girl and I need to find a man closer to my age ... actually a guy like that from a couple of years ago has recently contacted me ... who knows what will happen? Life is complicated!

leannec, it'll be interesting to see where things go w/the man that you just reconnected w/. I was never a dater, so I'm not a good advisor when it comes to being single. I am very independent and was focused on other stuff.

We can take it with us when we camp and just plug it in anywhere. We haven't yet given it a try but will on our September trip. Ooo, I remember that trip. No way. I like that we have a couple options in our camper for sleeping if needed. But honestly unless it was a short girl's trip...I cannot imagine sharing mine and Nick's space like that. Luckily the weather improved and we spent the day with our friend outside. We have a screenhouse with camp chairs. Plus the usual picnic table, etc. Nick has Verizon and it's usually okay to use his Hotspot. But if he takes off on a bike ride or a shower, or if like last night his phone was dead, I had no signal. Can you tell me more about this cube thing? I honestly didn't do much beyond what I would have planned for me and Nick. Except for the birthdays cake. But I did cook 5 meals and we had a lot of hurrying yesterday morning before he got there, and I felt like we were on a schedule to eat lunch and dinner be he had to get back. It was a nice visit, just not as laid back as our previous trip. One extra night does make a difference. But I was still glad to get away. Also, Nick got to play his guitar and got the nicest compliments. Our neighbors said they braved the mosquitos to sit on the deck of their cabin to listen and it was the highlight of their weekend! I'm so freaking proud of him! Attachments:

leannec When I went wedding dress shopping I had so much fun trying on dresses I would never wear, including a Scarlett O'Hara type of dress. I did come with a picture of a dress I saw in a magazine. After pulling a whole bunch of dresses to try on, in the dressing room I asked the sales clerk if she had that dress. Turns out I had picked it in my line up to try on and was the dress I bought. taylortroop and destined2bmom I joined the spoiled dog group a long time ago! But they return it with great joy and love. Today I slept in which was wonderful. DH is asleep on the sofa right now, with the furry pup asleep next to him. So today will be a kick back day I think. Tonight will be rechauffe ground beef stroganoff (WW) and roasted vegetables. I started back on WW yesterday since I couldn't fit into a pair of pants I wanted to wear. And I hope I can get back into the groove and not bail off the plan this week.

quiet day here - dh and I took the cardboard to recycling and stopped at Cracker Barrel for lunch. He's assembled my new Kallax and I have that corner put back together. Otherwise I've been scrapping. Dinner is chicken lombardy and vegetables of some sort. We were supposed to have it yesterday but ended up eating the leftover tuna pasta salad instead. scrapmaven- looking forward to kitten pics
