Hi everyone! I am just going to run a few errands today and my girlfriend (yes, THAT girlfriend) is coming over tonight for dinner and to watch Netflix ... she is going stir crazy at home which I can understand ... she did get her cast off her broken foot and is now in a boot ... I'm not sure what dinner will be ... I could cook or we can do takeout ... we'll decide later This is what I posted on Facebook today ... it gave me a chuckle and I thought it was timely considering our conversation about flakey friends I hope scrapmaven is having an amazing time on her cruise! Have you made any decisions about going to treatment Delta Dawn? What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a great Saturday everybody!

It has been an easy Saturday here. DH went into the city this morning as he had to collect his new glasses and he went to the food market while he was in there for meat and veg for the next few days. Since lunch, we've been watching football - today is the kick-off of the new season here, with the first round of the German Cup taking place before the league starts next weekend. I started a new sweater for Sophia yesterday, so I've gotten a fair bit done on that while watching the games.
Dinner here tonight is satay chicken with rice salad. Everything is ready to go - i just need to assemble the salad and DH can cook the chicken and the satay sauce.

That meme is hilarious. Pet peeve: I placed a grocery order yesterday and did not get all my stuff. Critical items were missing...again. I hate ordering. My store sucks. So I got up this morning and I went to the little market to pick up the things I needed. I've just finished making a loaf of zucchini bread. It is in the oven. Jeremy's uncle gave me a huge zucchini from his garden so I decided to make zucchini bread with it. I added a bunch of ground flax seed and used whole wheat pastry flour to bump up the fiber content. The batter tasted good so we will see how it bakes up. I finished my last library book this morning so I put another couple of books on hold. I'm going to go drop off today and pick up. And then I will just spend the rest of my day crocheting or quilting. I was going to scrapbook but I realized I am out of photo paper for my selphy. I think I'm going to do my take tonight on a chicken fajita bowl. I was inspired by Linda last week. So that was something on my menu for this week.

DH is at a car show with a buddy so I’m just puttering around the house. It poured rain for a few minutes and Walker was out running around in the backyard like a crazy dog. He’s now soaking wet and has that horrible wet dog smell. And he wants in the house! Umm, nope!
I bought my mom a pair of shoes that I knew she would love at the mall the other day. I was going to give them to her as part of her Christmas gift. Then yesterday she calls and says she was looking at the sale flyers and there is a pair of shoes that she would love and could we go to the mall on Monday. WHAT?? Seriously, what are the chances?? So I’ll just give them to her now.
Supper tonight will be leftover pork chops and sweet potatoes.

It's been a quiet morning today. After all my calls yesterday I finally got everybody scheduled this morning for when I Need them at the end of August. Just going to drink my coffee and watch some movies today.
No idea what we are having for dinner yet. Might order something in.

DH and I just got back from a 3 mile walk/hike. It wasn't too hot but by Tuesday will be 103. leannec , when your friend comes to your house, do you have to pick her up? jeremysgirl , do you put walnuts in your zucchini bread? I used to make it and loved it with lots of butter. Yum! I think dinner will be Horseradish Meat Loaf.

I went out to get my hair cut this morning and stopped at the store for a few things. I bought rib eyes to grill tonight with salad and curly fries. I’ve made it through three weeks without added sugar (except what may be in salad dressing and fat free yogurt). I may ask ds to make s’mores tonight. I found the stash of Hershey bars, graham crackers and marshmallows when I was looking for something the other day.

leannec , when your friend comes to your house, do you have to pick her up? Yes, but she lives close and I invited her over so I don't mind ... It's when she expects it that I mind

Spent a couple of hours working on insurance forms for DS's accident and took to post office to send certified. The internet was down and they couldn't do anything without it. No manual scale. So off to another post office. But it makes you think how many businesses would flounder in power outages or internet downs.
When I returned DH had harvested so many tomatoes that I roasted and froze another batch and still had some to give to a neighbor. Plus 6 yellow squash to give out as well.
Tonight we will have salmon, pasta and sautéed vegetables with tomatoes.

Sitting in the airport lounge for a 3 hour layover. Dh& I were not seated together on the way here. My seat mate was also golfing in Ireland and thought I was interested in a shot by shot summary of his golf trip. 😂 nothing is more boring to me. Surprisingly we had a drama free trip. There was a little too much down time for me but I go 20hours a day non-stop usually. I read all the friendship discussions yesterday. I feel your frustration tmarschall. My sister had a very similar experience with a friend. I have zero tolerance for my sister’s friends. I won’t go into it but now I just give it back to them when they start. But not to my own friends. In fact a very good friend was going to be on this trip against her will. She did not want to go at all and did not want her dh to go. Her son ended up taking her place. Then she was pissed the wives didn’t reach out to beg her to go. I knew better She would have been pissed at that then. We’ve been at a crossroads anyways. We make plans then she claims to have no idea what I’m talking about. No one I know has a memory like hers. My kids even ask her for details from their childhood. Obviously I’ve quit making plans with her. But we’ve gone through a lot together the past 25 plus years. So I totally get what you’re saying tmarschalljeremysgirl your friend does not get a pass though. You don’t make the loss of your bff’s child about you. I sometimes ask my DDs what’s wrong with me? Why do my friends all seem to be dropping me lately? Frankly I’m not really missing them. Not sure on dinner. I’m going to be having a seafood withdrawal. I ate it everyday. Fish & chips only once though. We’ll probably get pizza. Need to do laundry for dh. He flies out again tomorrow morning. His company is sponsoring a golf something in Texas. He’s dreading it.

Just got back from town. DH went to our State Fair this morning. When he got home he needed to run some errands in town so I rode along.
Got all the cards completed that I started yesterday. I even scrapped two pages.
It’s been raining off and on today. I managed to get a 2 mile walk in before another round hit.
We are meeting some friends for dinner.

You know what teddyw I understand that sentiment so much about just feeling like, why bother? I have read article after article about how lonely people are and how bad it is for your health. But you know when it comes right down to it, I'd rather do something fun like the art class I took. I didn't really make any friends but I went and talked to everyone while we were painting and that was big fun. So I'm exploring what other kinds of fun things I might do.

Thank you leannec. We're having a lovely trip. Next week I'll complain about Scooter McDrunkiepooh. There have been some funny moments except for the comedienne who wasn't funny, but was in need of a support group. Our cruise director is only 26, but really great at his job. The other night he had us all singing about boobs. I'll bore you all with photos and details next week. I miss my tribe.
