aKathy's What's for Dinner? 4/29

my stupid tire pressure light came on again.. so will swing by tire store on way to goodwill, and tomorrow taking car in for work at dealership so I will have them look at it.

dh found out that when his dad died, no one transferred the main house title to his mom.. so another step to the lawyers. I think he is realizing the process will take longer than he thought.

trying to almost finish mil's scrapbook today. run by the store too

leftovers from last night takeout.. falafel and chicken kebobs.

Happy Monday! This morning I have a dentist appointment. This is when they are supposed to start the work on my front teeth to prepare for the veneers. Dreading the pain, but have been promised drugs and happy gas. Pretty easy week otherwise so plan to get some sewing projects wrapped up and start sorting/organizing the photos and genealogy information in the guest room.

Absolutely no clue what dinner will be. It will depend on how my teeth feel. Mashed potatoes or soup possibly. Hope everyone has a good week!

This sounds like a good way to spend a day. I'm going to do some food prep after my 1pm meeting. Miracle of miracles, I tell you, my coworker actually did something last week for me that helped me out significantly. I thought I was going to have to hobble through this with one good hand and she did the whole thing. I nearly fell off my chair.



This does not sound fun but your smile will be beautiful.



This is a big ugh. I'm sorry you are hurting.

I'm hurting today. But I ran to the pharmacy between meetings this morning and then did a casual stroll around JoAnn's. I found a mini iron I want. I told the craft thread, but I didn't share here that I've decided to buy myself treats with the money I'm saving by not smoking. At least for a little while, it gives me some incentive. And well, quite frankly, it's damn embarrassing. It's a constant reminder of how much money I literally lit on fire. I'm not going to quantify my smoking here because well, I'm a bit embarrassed and I know, friends, you are all cheering me on (thank you for the supportive posts) and most likely would not judge me even if I told you. But the first ten days, earned me a Grinch quilt kit. I'll be back in another week smokefree to get me that mini iron.

Tonight I'm making something called "Saucy White Beans and Fennel with Pesto." I can tell from the picture it is supposed to be served with fresh bread on the side. I want to try for the 8,000,0000th time to make a successful loaf of bread. So I'm giving it another shot.

taylortroop poor Walker! Has he seen the men working up there to know where the noise is coming from? We just went through that. Mine was more upset though by seeing the men up there vs the noise.

jeremysgirl I love your rewards program!

cadoodlebug I shake my head at jeans that are so ripped but then remember when I was a kid going to the navy surplus store to find super faded jeans.

**GypsyGirl** hoping your dental work goes smoothly.

Today has a to do list attached and a walk. I love the reminders app on my phone. I use it for daily, weekly, monthly and yearly reminders. So even if I'm in bed and realize I forgot to do something I just add it to my reminders app.

Tonight may be salmon, pasta and a roasted vegetable if we get to the store.

Marina what app are you using for reminders? iphone or android?

One of my dogs has been limping (Jax), I was assuming it was arthritis.  He's the Pitbull and gives 280% when he runs.  Took him to the vet to get his shots and ask about it.  Well it is a torn ligament.    I feel so bad that I didn't take him in sooner.  The vet said surgery for younger dogs because they bounce back quicker, but he is 8 and she said we will give pain meds and meds to keep him calm so he can heal.  Cartilage will build up and he will start to put more weight on that leg.  I did already see a difference in just 2 days.  
We are going out of town and are having someone come check on the dogs, but now I don't want to go. I know I will go, but I don't want to! It is for a wedding reception, wedding was already in some destination place.  

We are still waiting on our shower.  Yay

Not sure for dinner, I may do chicken stir fry.  

Marina: Hmmm…. I never thought that it might be seeing the people on the roof. I assumed it was the hammering but the workers are back from lunch, got back up on the roof and Walker immediately wanted inside.

I don't have any clue what got into her. But truthfully any decent person would have done that task on my behalf. I mean you would have to be pretty terrible to not have done it. I didn't know what to expect so I was pleasantly surprised. I bought a powerball ticket, just because I thought this might be a day for miracles.



I have already put a call into his NP. I honestly think that I overused it on Friday and then I suffered a backlash on Saturday. I'm trying to be careful and intentional with how I move it.

I just worked this morning ... the school has a reputation for being challenging but the students were fine for me ... loud, but fine.  

I met their teacher as I was leaving and she was thankful that I said I would come back.   

The principal called me a little while ago and asked me to work tomorrow ... I'm already booked ... she's putting me on their "preferred sub list"  

Seriously, these schools I have been subbing in have nothing on the school I taught in for four years!


It's 4pm and I haven't decided on dinner ... there were coupons in my mailbox for burgers and onion rings so I might grab that!  Yum!

That sounds heavenly!! (Wait, you are talking about 25 celcius, right? ) It's only going to be 16 here today, which is too bloody cold for my liking. And to make matters worse, our ducted heating isn't working. It wasn't too bad on the weekend, because it got to about 23. But the house feels icy this morning. Hopefully the heating will be fixed sometime this week. In the meantime, I will be living in my big thick Oodie.

We're expecting snow this week!
