I think dh and I are ordering in Chinese. We’re going to watch Ally so her mom can go on a date 😊.
Unfortunately my fall yesterday really aggravated my already sore knee so I’m not doing much of anything today. My sister the nurse has me icing 20 minutes on and 20 off.

DH discharged himself from the hospital last night. The doctor had a very stern talk with him and he promised to be a good boy and take his medication and he promised to immediately come back to the hospital or go to his doctor if he had any side effects or any other medical issues. I have to go grocery shopping this afternoon and I am planning to bring home a prebaked roasted chicken for dinner. KelleeM I hope your knee recovers soon.

@meelleek hope your knee feels better soon.
Rainy and cold, autumn has definitely arrived (or rather; it arrived two weeks ago).
I don’t think I have told you guys yet? But we are getting a puppy! He’s two weeks tomorrow, so it’ll be six more weeks before we can welcome him home. It’s a pug, and the kids and I are over the moon. Yes, Even DS who has moved away for college.
Dinner? Tomato and garlic chicken with pasta and a salad.

We just returned from the meat market. Yum! Too much good stuff there. We settled on bacon and cheddar brats with pretzel buns for dinner. Dogs are happy as we got them a big bag of frozen bones!

Since we are leaving in about a month for Italy I have been busy trying to organize all my pictures from Spain in anticipation of going to a crop the weekend after we get back. (I finished the first 6 days of the album at the last crop.) NOTE TO SELF: journal as you go in Italy! I did for the first 5 or so days in Spain so now I'm trying to remember everything. The only thing I can't remember is where we ate lunch in Toledo and it is driving me crazy!!
Yummy salad for dinner: greens, sliced strawberries, roasted chicken, snap peas, mandarin oranges, glazed pecans and bleu cheese sprinkles with a light raspberry vinaigrette. So good and so easy!

Thanks for the healing wishes. I hate being incapacitated. miominmio...cute mama and babies! Dh just went to get a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store. We’ll have salad with it. Much better for my diet than Chinese.

I opened a membership at Sam's Club this morning. Of course the by-laws of the Dinner Tribe require that my first ever purchase be a rotisserie chicken. We'll have that and a caesar salad this evening. I did clean house this morning, but I'm relaxing and puttering this afternoon.

desertgirl, I waited over 10 years to get married to dh. Your dad is downright impulsive.😂. Congratulations to your dad, stbsil and you. Wedding planning is so much fun. destined2bmom, I want to put your dh on time out. Bad. Naughty. I wish him healing and rest. miominmio, I'm in love. You're so lucky. KelleeM, wishing you a fast recovery. RICE until your sister says otherwise. I extended my trip until Wednesday. Today was the first sign of improvement and it felt good to hear. Dh and kids are running back-to-college errands and then will have Japanese food.

Some friends and I had a sleep over at another friend's house down at the beach. We went and saw an Elvis show in the afternoon, then out for dinner to a place called Abbey Road. It was a really fun place with lots of music memorabilia. I ended up having two starters because I couldn't decide: Duck, Merlot and Mushroom Agnolotti with Burnt Butter, Orange and Basil Sauce Salt & Pepper Calamari with Taramasalata Bora Bora Mocktail with pineapple, passionfruit syrup, lemon juice and grenadine. The agnolotti was A-MA-ZING!

I JUST connected the dots to who you are!! 😂 I'm a little slow! Sorry about your fall. I had a fall in the spring that left me sore for a couple of weeks.

It was a long, busy day... and I'm pooped. We had to take our pup to the vet for his annual appt. It stresses me out because it stresses him out. But everything checked out perfectly and we were in and out fairly quickly.
Then it was home to clean the house a bit and do some laundry. Right after lunch we were off to my bff's house to help her get ready for her DH's 50th bday party. So we were there for 5 hours or so.
We headed home to drop the kids off and then dh and I ran out to grocery shop. That took a couple of hours.
Dinner was at bff's bbq - hamburgers, hot dogs pasta & potato salad, etc. I had a burger with just a tiny bit of pasta salad. And a piece of delicious birthday cake.
Tomorrow we're off for the day to get the rest of what the kids need for school. Soccer tryouts and cross country practice start on Monday morning, bright and early.
Have a great weekend ladies!!

Arrows to you, scrapmaven, for Wednesday being the last day away from your boys. So glad you have made a little progress. My father is no longer around. That was the arrows talking. Some have white hair. And they are crotchety curmudgeons. 😜

Dinner was light tonight since we ate out at lunch while running errands. Tried a new to us restaurant that serves classic Vietnamese comfort foods and fusion French-Asian cuisine. The decor took me back to when we lived in SE Asia! Houston has a fund raiser for the Food Bank every August called Restaurant Weeks (started as 1 week, now is an entire month). The lunch 2 course menu was $20 with a portion going to the Food Bank. Amazing food with fantastic sauces, so we will definitely be going back to eat. I had the Cha Gio / Crispy Shrimp & Pork Roll and Bo Luc Lac / Shaking Beef.
After all that we just snacked on things in the fridge. I did decide to pop a potato into the oven to bake. When I opened the oven, I discovered that it had a bit of a blow out, with a big pile of potato baked to the side of the oven. The oven that I just cleaned on Monday! There was a little over half the potato inside when I cut it open, so plenty for my dinner. Now I have a mess to clean up tomorrow.

Went to a crop at the LSS today, just my sister and me. None of the rest of my usual gang could make it. I actually worked on cards using the pug stamps below. We went out for pizza and salad for lunch, and now we’re home eating rechauffe and chocolate cake and fresh peach pie, with our daughters, because we can. Feel better, KelleeM . Glad you’re feeling better, scrapmaven . miominmio , this is my new stamp set that I had to order from the UK because my friend in The Netherlands (I actually know her in real life) posted some cards made from it on her blog, and I HAD to have it. The puppies!! Click on thumbnail to see full size. www.funkyfossil.co.uk
