Daughter K came over to do more cleaning upstairs. She had intentions of bringing me 3 dozen hears of corn from a community garden near her. Twenty minutes into her drive, she realized she forgot them. Sigh.
We have horse flies bad this year. I have no idea why either. No goats, no horses, nothing but chickens here. Best we figure, is that there is a dead animal in the woods. Urgh. Every time I kill one, another shows up and drives me off the porch.
I was very glad to have Daughter K over, even for a few hours. I got to thinking, and I think I have felt depressed because Mom's birthday is coming up. Either way, I am was glad to have company. My husband had to work Sunday as well.
- Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
The weather . . .
85/65°F, thunderstorms.
As I look outside my window . . .
Dark clouds are moving in.
Right now I am . . .
Getting ready to wash dishes and purge some cigar boxes that Daughter K left. I'll be donating the boxes to a friend who has an antique store in a small town about 30 minutes from out home.
Thinking and pondering . . .
The prices of yarn have gotten so ridiculously high. My online resource now has cotton balls at $3.49!!! I used to get them at Wal-mart for $1.50! Wal-mart hasn't had anything I need lately either.
I'm considering starting to prime the master bath cupboards, but I think I want to paint the walls first. Not sure. I still have to clean up the debris left by mainly one kid upstairs.
How I am feeling . . .
Good. Pretty good actually.
On the breakfast plate . . .
Eggs, toast and coffee.
On the dinner plate . . .
I actually made the chicken fajitas last night, so leftovers tonight.
What I am wearing . . .
T-shirt, yoga pants - looking forward to a rainy day inside.
On the reading pile . . .
On my TV this week . . .
We just finished watching Alone. I had a hard time finding good movies, but now that my husband is done with long, exhausting hours at work, we can spend evening out on the motorcycle hopefully.
On the menu . . .
-tacos, homemade salsa
-chicken fajitas
-crockpot bbq pork chops, beets
From the camera . . .
Yarn prices are insane! I picked up a couple of skeins the other day and didn't realize how much they had gone up... sheesh! And of course it was on sale (so much for a sale price!) so couldn't use the coupon...grrrr Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteJodi, I noticed last year's "reg" prices are this year's sale prices. It's horrible this year. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteI haven't bought yarn in a while, it's ridiculously priced and like you say, Walmart hasn't had what I want in a while either. They used to have quite a good yarn section, now it's slim pickins.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week,
Sandra

Sandra you are so right. I used to try and visit stores even on day trips and overnight trips, just to see if their selection was better. Nope. Hardly any yarn at all.
