Spaghetti Squash ~ Flooring

 

I finally got around to baking a spaghetti squash.  I am planning to make patties (new recipe) out of them.  A new recipe that uses quinoa and parmesan cheese in them.

We finally went into town to pick up the subflooring.  We also took a container of chili and dropped it off for Daughter E.  She's doing so-so with her work income, and needed dinner.

Gas lines are being installed, but there is still more to do before the flooring goes in, and with the holiday coming up, I'm not sure we'll make a whole lot of progress this week.

Happy Homemaker Monday

 I have been working up a list, in case I finish the crochet blanket before I can get back upstairs for more yarn.  I am putting off any canning due to the dust in this house (which will end soon I hope).

-journal
-read
-tidy closet (a bit difficult, as boxes of stuff from living room are stacked in there right now)

-finish a crocheted scarf I started (have the yarn for that)

-make nail polish bottle ornaments

-start a new scrap lap afghan

Lumber prices have come down a bit thankfully.  However, we have to return to the hardware store for more supplies.  It's just never ending.

Today I will join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.

The weather . . .

45/24°F, we may possibly hit the mid 50's this week.

As I look outside my window . . .

The wind tapered off.  

Right now I am . . .

Brewing another pot of coffee.

Thinking and pondering . . .

Not sure if the two of us are making anything special for a Thanksgiving meal yet.  The kids will not be around, and well, no other plans.

How I am feeling . . .

Cold.  I cannot wait to fire up the wood stove.  I am losing my patience with this living room job.

Listening to . . .

The radio, rock, some country

On the breakfast plate . . .

Leftover butternut squash breakfast casserole.

What I am wearing . . .

Jammies, robe, slippers

On my reading pile . . .

Most of my books are buried on a shelf in my office, so today I plan to seek out any stray books I may have elsewhere.

On my TV . . .

Mystery Channel

On the menu . . .

-crockpot pork chops, crockpot sweet potatoes
-not sure on the rest just yet

Looking around the house . . .

It's the same ol' mess of everything shoved in all places.  I literally run into stuff, bump into it, or trip on it.  Sigh....

To-Do list . . .

-mail in rebate
-wash dishes
-catch up any laundry

-make chapstick (still on the list, sigh)

-make travel soaps (still on the list)

-write out shopping list

-make homemade hot cocoa mix

-have no idea....it's so frustrating with the floor repair going on

From the camera . . .

I have nothing right now.

Devotional . . .

Still buried in the office..,..
