My Nut House :)

My husband got me this for Valentine's day:)
There is a story behind this cute little nut house, and I will tell it soon.
Happy Wednesday!
I have some shopping to do today :)
Be back soon!

Costco Trip :)

Over the weekend we did a big shopping trip at Costco.
I posted a bunch of pictures of what we bought.  I am not going to write under each picture.  It is pretty self explanatory...LOL....
I have two happy refrigerators and freezers :)

Nails Today :)

Gas Prices Here :)

Do you have a Quik Trip?

Happy Sunday!

Had a wonderful weekend :)
Hope you all did too!
Lots to share this week.
It is raining sheets right now.

Browinies with Cookie Dough :)

I made the Cookie/Brownie mix I had bought at the store :)

Before the cookie dough is added....

After the cookie dough is added....

....and out of the oven ...very easy to make :)

Here is a quick video showing them:)  Go down my sidebar and mute the Little house on the Prairie music:)

Groceries!

Happy Friday!

I went to the grocery store this morning for a few things.  We went in the store and the sun was shining, we came out and it was pouring rain....LOL.Thank goodness, Publix offers umbrellas at the exit of the store :)

I bought yogurt, bran muffins (I love those) Strawberries, blueberries and grapes. Pineapple chunks in their own juice, NOT syrup.

 
Lot's of chicken noodles soup and saltines, Sissy is not feeling well again.

Publix was having a buy one get one free sale on their brownie mixes.  I made the brownie/cookie mix already with pictures and a little video :)

Some Uncle Ben's rice...I have never made this kind before...I will let you know.  It was a buy one get one sale.

Sprite, Orange Juice, romaine lettuce and more cucumbers....oh, and some English muffins :)

 AHHHHH, I love my creamer :)

 

Close up of my Bran Muffins...LOL.

  I also got some throat lozengers for my daughter...she has a sore throught:(

This was a very small trip, I usually do one or two during the week, and then, over the weekend my husbnad and I do a big one, I will try one day to take pictures of those grocery trips, those really are something when hubby comes with ...lol....

Comments!

I love all comments, from anonymous to people I know.  Usually all my anonymous commenters are long time readers, and I usually know this by how they comment to me, like the ladies that like my recipes...LOL.

Anyway, when you make a comment about knowing me and you live in or around San Clemente, it peeks my curiosity.  Why would you make a comment insinuating you know me, but not leave your name? 

Thursday!

Stairs!

These set of stairs go to the upstairs

 Okay, this what I am going to do right after I post this!
These are the two set of stairs I talk about vacuuming all the time....LOL.  
They look really nice when I finish.  I use my Kirby...the middle of the stairs is what gets me, when I have to hold the Kirby and try and vacuum:)

These set of stairs go to the basement :)
The basement is like a whole other living quarters....lol.  It is actually bigger than my first apartment. Nice kitchen, living room, bathroom, 2 more bedrooms, one was made into a work out room.....I'll do a tour of it soon :)

Roasted Chicken!

I roasted a chicken yesterday..it was a nice size chicken too.

Do you remember Fly Lady's Rubber Chicken?  If you click on the link, the rubber chicken recipe is about midway down the page.  Fly lady has helped me a lot in the past 12 or so years....I take her ideas and incorporate them into my own.  So today in honor of the rubber chicken, I am going to take the rest of the meat off the bones and make another chicken dish :)  Last night we had roasted chicken with all the fixings...I had an extremely busy day yesterday, it was so out of the ordinary...LOL..Anyway, a roasted chicken is super easy to make.  I now have quite a bit leftover so I will take the meat off and either make a chicken casserole or Chicken Bwak-Bwak(Shredded chicken mixed with egg noodles and a little butter).  I really love to make chicken 'n'dumplings, (I love the dumplings) so that may be a possibility.  I do not eat any kind of meat anymore...I used to not eat beef and pork, and now I have just given up all of it.....BUT, I make everything for my family ..I do not push my non eating meat view on them.  Just never cared for it much.  I love my veggies though :)

Okay, so that is my dinner plan for tonight:)  What is yours?

New Colors!

I added a few new colors to my collection :) 

Good Morning!!!

It is soooooo foggy out!!!

Tuesday~~~>

I had "BIG" plans for today and this blog...You know those days when you have everything meticulously planned...and nothing goes as planned?  Yes, that was today.  I went shopping today and was going to do a video about it, but I was not able to do it.  I left the house at 8:30 this morning, and did not return until about 1:30....as I was shopping, my son called to tell me he locked his keys in his car.  I went home got his spare keys, went to his work to drop them off....as I am doing that, Alexis is texting me, telling me she is sick and is about throw up...so I rush to her school to pick her up.....and then some other things had happened, but I will go into those things a little later.....it was an incredibly busy day.

I hope you all have a wonderful evening.
I need to make my husband's lunch for tomorrow and then I am going to make a cup of hot tea and relax :)

 

2~4~2013

My mother passed away 9 years ago, today!
I wish I had known her better.
My memory desperately tries to remember things.
I remember her gentleness
Her grace
I don't remember her ever raising her voice

I remember she made my clothes

I don't remember much.
She got sick when I was 10, and I had only seen her about 3 times after that.
I hope she knows, I am not mad or hold any resentment.  I love my mother and miss her and so wish I had known her better!
So for today, please hug your mother and tell her you love her, for me :)
XO

Sunday!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday!
See you tomorrow :)

Happy Saturday!

Friday :)

Last night's dinner we had Pork Roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, macaroni and cheese, steamed peas and a salad :)

 This is the weather forecast for today.  It is going to be a cold day today.  The best part of today, is that it is Friday :)

I learned how to take screen shots of my phone, I thought that was so neat...LOL

What are you all going to do over the weekend?  Anything exciting?
