Dinner will be rechauffee shrimp fried rice and mixed veggies How are you doing lately tanya2? I have been thinking about you! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight?

Happy Sunday!
I'm so lazy today but I think I'll catch up on some tv and play my game. I just put in a grocery order to pick up and I have some laundry to do but I think it's going to be a chill day all around.
Hope you all have a great day!

We're getting ready to walk ~ cold and gray outside. That's a lot of snow leannec ! I'll continue to work on my prep. Seems it is taking me all day to prep 2 or 3 pages! Dinner might be pot roast. It took me a while to get this meme so I'll give you a hint Ding! Dong! The witch is dead!

Is the med actually helping you sleep leannec? I know how badly you suffer from insomnia and I also know just how much of my own mood is dependent on good sleep. I just hope you can finally rest. I'm so close to done on my wrap. I'm halfway through the first pocket. Then I just have to do the second and stitch them on. Should finish today. I just got back from Joann's too. I started making candy this morning. My first batch came out terrible. Just air bubbles! Ugh! So I went and bought more candy melts. Jeremy was so funny. He could not resist getting in there and helping me. Sometimes he gets excited about my crafts. ๐ I love him for that. I'm making white beans with braised cabbage and fennel for dinner. I got to say, this meal was the one I was *least* excited about this week. I have an artisan loaf of whole wheat to go with it. I'm excited to say, I was whining the other day about how I need a pantry. How there just isn't enough cabinet space in my kitchen. And guess what? Jeremy ordered me a stand alone pantry!!! I'll have to put it in my dining room but I don't even care. I'm so excited for more storage.

cadoodlebug I got the meme as soon as I saw it. I'm so proud. LOL. leannec, I hope the med works well. The side effects might wear off over time. Beautiful photo. jeremysgirl, my mom used to make candy. She had it down to a science and her candies were always a hit, even though they were melts. Have fun w/it. I missed posting yestereday. I was up to my appointment, the store and then I was up at a puzzle for 8 hours straight. That never happens. I had real live energy. Now I'm up, again doing my treatments and sitting at a puzzle. So so so normal. ntsf, wishing you a very Happy Belated Birthday! May this year be filled w/lots of joyous adventures. How are you doing littlemama? The Birdhouse Lady, callbacks are normal and the odds of everything being fine are great. I'm thinking of you.

I made a couple cards this morning. They arenโt for anyone specific but I have so much scrapbooking stuff and I havenโt scrapbooked in a few years. I do enjoy making cards - I think because they are quick and easy. My mom gives a birthday card to every person in her building so I give her a lot of the ones I make.
Iโm making stew in the crockpot for DH for supper tonight. I donโt like stew so not sure what I will have.
Today is supposed to be the last day of our cold temperatures and next week looks a bit warmer. That means more mud!

Happy Sunday!!! So far Iโve just been hurkle-durkling!!! I need to get a few things done today but, Iโm in no rush to get started.
I need a few things from the grocery to get me to Wednesday. While there I will figure out whatโs for dinner.
I want to do a little sewing today and there is a load or two of laundry. ๐งบ
Hope you have a calm and relaxing day!

scrapmaven how do you do puzzles when you travel? cadoodlebug cute meme. I was groggy when I first saw it thinking hostess cupcakes. jeremysgirl wow! Are they chocolate? Very pretty. leannec is the medication just for a few days? I struggle with insomnia too. Today I need to get done what I didn't get around to yesterday. I did sleep in which was nice. Tonight will be herbed turkey breast, pasta and zucchini. .

Iโm dragging today. Iโve had a migraine off & on. Goes away with meds and back when they wear off. Iโm going to plant some more dahlias in pots to get them started. Your candy is so pretty jeremysgirl. My mom & I used to make candy but my kids & dh donโt like chocolate. How can they be related to me?! Weirdly at my dr appt this week the MA who has been drawing my blood for 12 years. Never misses. 3x missed then got someone else. The worst part is the bandaids. They took the top layer of my skin off when I removed them. They were big thick fabric kind. Iโve never had that happen. So glad youโre feeling more energetic scrapmaven. taylortroop I love that your library saves books for you.

I do sleep but I'm not on a regular schedule yet ... leannec is the medication just for a few days? I struggle with insomnia too. It's up to me how long I take it ... I've been taking my previous meds for many years ... I will see if the grogginess goes away and then decide

I don't know about dinner. Son-in-law's family is having doing and I'm invited. His dad's family and his mother's family all live in the same area. By family I mean aunts, uncles, siblings, cousins, in-law's and outlaws. The area is about a mile square.
I know there will be banana pudding, and a salad.

Yes Marina it's chocolate! Next Saturday I'm going to make some decorated cut out cookies too. I bought cute little treat bags with bunnies on them. Kids can pack them all up and take them home. teddyw sorry about your migraine. What a way to spend a Sunday.

I'm late today! We started the day by taking the grandsons to breakfast at Denny's...thought of you, leannec! I have putzed around, straightening things up a bit, pushing back against the clutter. I have a gala thing Tues night for work and my regalia came for graduation so I've been having stuff up, finding something to wear, etc. I have the beginning of beef noodle soup in the crockpot for dinner. I'll throw the noodles in in a little while. I'm making some wheat bread to go with it. Along with some snappy grapes we have been plowing through. Still considering some more scones, though that might wait til tomorrow. Sending good wishes th @the Birdhouse Lady tomorrow.

Change of plans ~ dinner will be Chicken Noodle Soup because it just feels like that kind of day. My LSU women's basketball team beat Middle Tennessee 83-56 after being behind 36-32 at halftime. DS is flying from Oakland to Dallas via Phoenix today for a business meeting until Wednesday. I've gotten about 6 pages prepped and DH is painting!! He never lets me see what he's painting so it will be a surprise. I'm thinking maybe something spring-like.

I guess I never posted what I was actually having for dinner. I had planned to make sirloin beef tips for my dad but they wanted to go out instead so we're going to our local Tex-Mex place. They have fajitas for $7.99 on Sundays so I think that's what I'll be having.

Here is the (not so) scenic view from my patio this morning I mean, it's kinda pretty in a way, but man... all that grey! The best thing about winter here is that our native trees are evergreen, so there is always colour. Oh, and no snow of course! (But I still think the snow is pretty. I'd like to experience living with snow one day.) This morning I wanted to hurkle durkle like The Birdhouse Lady then putz around like tmarschall, but alas..... I had to get up for work. scrapmaven it is wonderful to hear that you had all that energy. I hope it stays with you. cadoodlebug I would never have got that meme because we don't have Ding Dongs here. I even had to google to see what a ding dong was! jeremysgirl that candy is so pretty! It makes me want to pull out all of my old chocolate moulds and make some myself! Dinner was bacon and eggs on Turkish bread.

Oh, and some exciting news for me..... last night we booked a trip back to Koh Samui for late August! One of the couples that we went there with last year are stopping off there after their trip to Italy, and asked if we wanted to join them. Ideally we would like to go somewhere different, but we are excited to get back there. We will plan another trip somewhere else for 2025.

Sunday already? ๐คจ
Dinner tonight was air fryer salmon and rice on the side. DH doesn't always eat the skin on his salmon, so he always offers it to me because I love it so much. Out of context, his "are you eating my skin, love?" question would definitely raise a few eyebrows. ๐
Probably going to call my doctor tomorrow because I'm still having some sinus infection symptoms. Ugh.

teddyw I hope your migraine disappears. I have developed an allergy to the adhesives in bandaids. So I now get welts where the adhesive attached. Hopefully that's not what you have. I do use a barrier cream when I need to use one but try to use them limitedly.

When we have a Drumstick or Cornetto ice cream, I always give DSO the tip of the cone that has the chocolate in it. I will have to think of the ice cream equivalent of "are you eating my skin?" Hmmm, I can think of a few, but probably not suitable to mention on a polite dinner thread!

dh just told me he ate his leftovers for lunch .. so I told him sorry.. I was counting on that for dinner.. I will make salad.. and he can have a little left over pad thai..and a peanut butter sandwich.. I don't feel sorry for him.
that leftover was for dinner. we talked about it last night.
I went out this afternoon and got lots of clothes at eddie bauer.. on sale, then hit j jill.. got some nice clothes, and the container store.. they had a sale and it was also my birthday month so got a good deal on some watertight bins.
