I'm making a lasagna. I want to sit and do nothing today. But I think I'm going to go buy my mom some wind chimes for her garden for mother's day. There's a funky little shop I go to to buy my incense and they have the coolest wind chimes I've been admiring from afar for a very long time.
I want to share some exciting news. You all know my DD is going to trade school to become a commercial electrician. Well yesterday she got offered an apprenticeship. Her teacher recommended her because she is his top student. This is her very first grown up job. Real wages, benefits, mileage, etc. I'm just so proud and I can't say anything on Facebook or to family. And they said her small size could definitely be an asset as she can fit in small spaces. Now to find a tiny enough tool belt...lol...

I have no idea what’s for dinner, but I thought I’d better at least check in because I’ve been so absent lately. Oh, probably a burger, because I still have some of that stuff to use up. Now I’m all excited. Wonderful news for your DD, jeremysgirl.

At Game night last night (I won 3/4 hands of Apples to Apples..LOL) one of the women made a chicken, bacon, chipped beef casserole that you serve over rice. There was a ton of left overs so I took enough for dinner.

I'm so excited for your DD, jeremysgirl. I'm gearing myself up for a Whole 30 challenge starting Monday. Part of me is wanting to carb load in anticipation. My original plans were to grill fish and vegetables for dinner, but it is cold, gray and raining here and I just don't want to stand outside. Maybe I'll search for a fish stew or curry recipe to try.

congratulations to your DD jeremysgirl - that's wonderful news! I'm scrapbooking today - so far 13 cards and 5 layouts done - and hanging out with DD19. DH has sent me some photos from the Camporee - DD12 painted on canvas, went swimming, and canoeing so far today. She'll get to tie dye a shirt and do some more swimming later and last night she had s'mores at a campfire. Sounds like they are having fun! Dinner? I think we'll end up ordering pizza.

jeremysgirl - That is awesome news about your DD. Being small is a definite advantage, especially with a house like mine. We have a hip roof and anytime electrical work needs to be done in the attic near the eaves, they have to find their smallest electrician. Absolutely no idea what we're having tonight. I'm not very hungry and am spending the afternoon in the sewing room. That quilt top WILL be finished this week, come hell or high water (which if it doesn't quit raining might happen)! Probably rechauffe as I made spaghetti last night and DH brought home fresh tamales.

We are having another lazy Saturday, even though there is a ton to do around the house. Oh well. At the end of the school year, I find I need this type of day to recharge my low battery.
Salmon and a veggie for us tonight.

Awesome news for your dd jeremysgirl! Congratulations! Dh has decided he’s not hungry, I have no idea if dd wants dinner or not but I really want Chinese now so I guess I’m ordering regardless! I have spent a lot of time and money shopping between yesterday and today. I bought dh a new desktop computer tower, several items from Amazon, and 6 albums and 50 page protectors from Hobby Lobby (2 trips to different stores) and I’m proud to say that about 90% of the approximately 200 scrapbook layouts I’ve made in the past year are now in albums! I put it off for too long and I’m really proud of myself for getting it done. The album a few layouts went into included a two page layout from when my sister and I met AKathy for the first time in 2003. It had a lot of Making Memories metal on it and the frames had fallen so I had to glue it back together. Brought back great memories of Kathy and I had actually journaled which was nice to read.

Our hike yesterday was great. The waterfalls weren't as full as two years ago when DH and I went on my birthday but the hike itself is beautiful. Today we went to Preston Castle which was a reform school built in the late 1800's and closed in the 1960's. The tour was fascinating ~ especially because of the famous names of some of the incarcerated: actor Rory Calhoun, Merle Haggard, Pancho Gonzales & *Rochester* from the Jack Benny Show. They also do paranormal tours at night that are supposed to be VERY scary! Tonight we're having pizza!

KelleeM, what a treasure. Of course that page weighs a ton, with all that metal on it! Thanks for posting so the rest of us can share in your memory of AKathy.

jeremysgirl , what wonderful news about your daughter, I'm so pleased for her! Just the other day I was saying to DSO that I wish I had gone into a trade of some kind, it gives me a real thrill to see women in tradie's clothes mixing it with the men. (I think it must really appeal to the tomboy who is still lurking within.) And then I thought of your daughter, because she's the only one I 'know' who is doing it. We are going to visit some food trucks with my brother and sister in law tonight. Ooooh I love food trucks! I'd love to hear what you ended up trying! KelleeM what a great LO, it's so nice to see AKathy. I had to chuckle when I saw those MM frames, I had those as well, and I remember how heavy they made the pages! Now, onto dinner...... DSO had taken some sliced pork belly strips out of the freezer on Friday, thinking it was bacon, so I had to use them. I made a dish I'd been wanting to try for a while: Marion Grasby's Thai Spicy Basil & Pork Belly Stir Fry with Thai basil out of my garden, and coconut rice. OMG it was absolutely sensational! The woman is a freakin genius, every time I try a new recipe of hers it is soooooo good! I wish I could marry her.

KelleeM, thanks for sharing the layout. Your hike looks gorgeous, cadoodlebug! We woke to rain again in So Cal. Yes, I know we need the rain, but I'm seriously over the weather this year. AussieMeg, that dish looks amazing!

Yesterday I did a Costco run with my DS and DDiL, ordering platters for the christening next week and picking up all the non-perishables we'll need as well.
When they dropped me back at my sister's place, I gave them the shawl to take with them, as DDiL wanted everything ready in plenty of time. They both loved the shawl, and my son said 'wow - that must have taken AGES to make!' He is almost back on the knitworthy list, after dropping off due to disparaging remarks about handknit socks.
Dinner was gorgeous - my sister made a lamb shank ragout, which she served over a 'hand made' tagliatelle. I need to make sure I get the recipe (it was from a magazine) before I go.
