It's been a nice break in busyness, and we are all ready to tackle the week. Lots to do.
On the breakfast plate . . .
Farm fresh eggs over easy, organic toast with organic butter and home canned candy apple jelly, and of course organic coffee. I'll admit, it felt weird cooking after not cooking for almost a week. Hubby did all the cooking over the last week.
The weather . . .
It's cold out and windy. Rain is in the forecast. Currently 34°F and 46-48mph winds are expected. I emptied my ash pail very early to avoid that blowing everywhere.
Right now I am . . .
Listening to the radio station as I zip around the house. They are doing a contest to help pay bills. They are giving away $1,000.00 to each winner when they announce to enter via text. Wouldn't that be nice? To win $1,000 to pay off some bills?
Thinking . . .
Ugh. I have been so relieved to have the holidays behind us, but I got a message there will be another on my side of the family. I'm thinking I am not up to cooking in mass amounts and do not want to make one more cookie recipe.
On the reading pile . . .
Lots and lots of library books that I have had before the Christmas gatherings. I really need to take time to look through them and check return dates.
On the TV . . .
The Ranch
On the menu this week . . .
Have no idea. I have to clean out the fridge first, but I know I have asparagus and brussel sprouts that need cooked.
On my to-do list . . .
-make garlic powder
-clean bathroom
-sort mail that arrived while gone
-sweep kitchen
-organize office area
What I am creating . . .
Lots of stuff. I got an order for 11 "f" bombs so that's first on the list. I'll have photos soon of the other items
Looking around the house . . .
Hm. Not sure where to start first, but I'll get started. One thing at a time.
From the camera . . .
My favorite (one of them) photos from our 20th anniversary honeymoon.
On my prayer list . . .
Our kids.
I am catching up with my blog reading - what a gem that Hubby of yours is! Of course, he's got a gem in you, too. I'm glad you got a week of R&R. BTW, I'd let all family members know that the cut-off for any holiday obligations is January 5. I just made that up, but it sounds like a plan.
ReplyDeleteSusan, that is a perfect date to cut off "Christmas" gatherings. I'm so worn out from cooking/baking and cleaning. Yes, my hubby is a pure gem for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure your hubby is...the photo is a perfect reminder of a lovely break away.
ReplyDeleteThank you mamasmercantile. That photo just screams total rest and relaxation. No stress, no worries, no responsibilities.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated 20th anniversary. I too need some rest & relaxation after the Christmas season. I think I'll take out a puzzle, that means slow-time :) Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteYour breakfast is making me hungry! Ohhhh a hottub... I would love to have one!! So relaxing!! Are you liking the Ranch? I won't say to much as i don't know how far you are in.. I have watched all the seasons... I binge watch way too much! LOL Have a great week!!
ReplyDelete$1000 (or in my case £1000) would be just lovely right after Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI hear you about Christmas, I love it, but also love it when things get back to normal.
Have a great week.
Thanks Luludou
ReplyDeleteJodi, we love the Ranch. Very much enjoying it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYes, Sarah, $1,000 right after Christmas would be grand.
ReplyDeleteYour to do list always makes me tired. Happy belated anniversary. Good luck on the radio contest and have a GREAT week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamy, I have a lot to do this week. I may roll the list into next week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat wine glass in your first photo. Hope you find some time to relax with or without a hot tub (though a hot tub sounds so nice!). The F-bombs are funny, made me chuckle. My husband loved watching The Ranch. Hope you have a fantastic week ahead!
ReplyDeleteF bombs... lol!
ReplyDeletethe champagne and hot tub look very enticing!
Thanks LA Paylor
