aKathy's What's for Dinner? 8/21

Happy happy birthday bklyngal62 and lucyg!

I hope both you and Mr. scrapmaven feel better soon, scrapmaven!


I need to set up a couple of appointments today ... hoping to see the dentist and speak to the doctor on the phone ... nothing like leaving stuff to the last minute but I am The Queen of Procrastination!    


I'm hoping to hear from the dealership today to set up an appointment to have my running boards installed ... I let my "friend" drive my Jeep last night ... he liked it but he prefers cars that ride low ... weirdo.  

One of the reasons I love the Jeep is the fact that it is high off the ground ... it will be awesome when the snow accumulates!

They don't shovel the parking lot at my school so my parking spot gets knarley ... the BMW often had trouble getting in and out ... I will be golden with this vehicle because it is high up and 4WD.   


I'm not sure what dinner will be tonight ... maybe a shrimp recipe from Hello Fresh    

I need to straighten out my ferry reservations today. going to visit mother in law twice (down the road at the care facility). packing and repacking my stuff.

otherwise not doing much. maybe some reading.

going to the store and will figure out dinner there.

Happy Monday!

Happy Birthday bklyngal62. Have a fabulous day!

We are under a heat advisory all week. My Jeep is topless this week. I love to have the top down when it is hot.

Dinner is going to be BLT sandwiches.

Good morning!

I went to a baby shower on Saturday that was scheduled for Sunday.  I went back on Sunday...I have decided that this will be the last one I attend. I am over the whole shower thing. I would rather just leave a gift and go. I think I am getting old and crabby! 

My dh was out of town working all weekend, so I got a lot of time to work on my quilt top. 

Dinner tonight is going to be those King Hawaiian roll ham and cheese sandwiches.


scrapmaven..I didn't feel slighted! It would have been cool to meet you!! I don't live anywhere near where you were. I hope you guys had a great time (minus the sick part!)

Brats or hotdogs for dinner I think.
We are also going to be in the heat advisory this week. Yesterday was horrible outside, I stayed in almost all day.

The whole thing sucked. It started at 1 and the hostess wasn't ready. She was having her guests put up the decorations. She was just starting to make the food. I stayed for 1.5 hours and had enough and told them that I had to go. It probably went on until 5 o'clock and I just wasn't about that. 

Thank you ladies for the birthday wishes !

scrapmaven hope you and your husband feel better soon.

For dinner we are going out to a diner. I'm thinking I might have a waffle with eggs and bacon.

This is so rude! I would have left too.

Worked in my garden then went to a Walmart across town to for a pick up because they were the only one that had wipes for Luke right now. Don’t you know the guy left his hand held device on top of my car. I drove all over with it til a guy at a red light got out and gave it to me. I tried calling them because I’m not sure when I’ll go over that way again.
Then I had jewelry. I worked really hard on the cover of dd’s mini flower press. Made my own branches to decorate the top with. Added flowers and leaves , soldered it and it didn’t melt. Then I was out of time 🤦‍♀️

We weren’t hungry for dinner so dh had Mac & cheese from a box and I had topo Chico water.

leannec I saw a really pretty magenta wrangler today right next to a black one. All of a sudden they’re everywhere. My nephew has a red one. He said jeep owners give each other little rubber duckies.

Feel better scrapmaven

Today was the day from Hell. Worse than Hell.

First - I was supposed to work today. Mondays are our busiest day of the week & only 2 of us were scheduled to work on cash. And one of us (not me!) called in "sick" today. I put it in quotes because I was warned by someone else on Friday that this woman would most likely not be there. And they were right. Such a bitch move. Thankfully the manager was able to pull a guy from another branch to come help, and he was awesome. But it was insanely busy, lined up to the door, most of the afternoon.

Then I got the message from BIL on my lunch that my SIL is definitely in liver failure and is nearing the end. We went to the hospital for a couple hours after work to visit. She's barely conscious and very incoherent. It was heartbreaking

And then, my dh has been not been feeling well and definitely not himself since our trip in May. I have bugged and bugged and bugged for him to get it checked out. He got sent to the hospital in June for tests and they couldn't find anything. And then our family dr never followed up with him. I did find out today that dh was supposed to be following up with her if he still was not well, but clearly that got lost in a miscommunication. So today he went to a different hospital for tests. And got the results. And they aren't good. I'm not ready to say more until we know more. But I'm kinda freaking out. And now I have a major headache from bawling my face off. And at the hospital I - of course! - had to pretend that nothing was wrong with us to focus on SIL.

And now I'm drinking wine and watching the Bachelorette finale. And forcing myself not to google

oh tanya2, I am so sorry for all of that hanging over you. Hopes for a peaceful time of it for your SIL, and that your DH’s issue can be resolved more or less easily. Hugs to you all.
