I'm hating how fast the dang weekends are going lately. I think I need to review my vacation days again for work and throw a few more in there, LOL. I know I have a couple days coming up the first weekend in May, but that's still 4 1/2 weeks away.
I got started on sis's tax returns yesterday morning. Then I had a question for her, then she called me and then we ended up chatting on the phone for a long time, so I didn't end up getting much more done with it.
Neither dh or I was very hungry for dinner last night, so we just had sandwiches. For some reason every time I go into the pantry and see the boxes of cornbread mix, it sounds good. I usually only make that with my taco soup or chili, but I haven't made that in a long time due to dh's stomach issues. So, I just made a pan of cornbread to have, just because.
We ended up being stocked up on enough groceries (first time ever) that we've made it past our normal 3 weeks of needing to get more. Last Thurs was 3 weeks. We were kind of thinking of going in this afternoon or maybe Tues or Wed, but when I asked dh yesterday if he wanted to go in Monday (so I could get the order placed) he said not really....I said me either, LOL. He does want to run into town today to get those couple of boards he needs from the lumber store. I said if I just go with you, we can stop at the grocery store (a block away) and I can get a few things and we'd be good for another week of not having to go to the city ;) So, it sounds like that is what we will do. I just need a gallon of milk, some apples, tomato, onion, and might as well get an extra loaf or two of bread (I still have 3 in the freezer).
DD and SIL did a fun thing yesterday with one of their cars (her Explorer ST) by doing an autocross thing where a small course was set up with cones and they'd get to drive it and get timed. I think they each got to do it several times. They have a gopro camera, so SIL set it up to show her driving the course and one time set it up inside to watch her while driving and sent us the videos. OMG! Her face in that helmet brought back memories! It was just like I was seeing her 9 year old face all over again. It was so cute! I was smiling the whole time I was watching the video and even got teary eyed. She did well (even beating SIL times) but that's not a surprise. She always was a very smooth racer.
The cute chipmunks are back. When we had our dogs, one of the dogs was just obsessed with watching them and we always called them "chippermonkees", so the name has stuck.
The weekends do fly by that is why I schedule three day weekends frequently otherwise I'd never make it through.
ReplyDeleteChipmunks are so cute. We see them occasionally here too.
Happy Monday!!
I need lots more 3 days weekends :)
DeleteWe don't have chipmunk in the UK so it's a delight to see them.
ReplyDeletechipmunks are very fun to watch, so busy and active
DeleteYou move the camera smoothly! I cannot imagine going so long without groceries.
ReplyDeleteI plan my meals and list and really stock up each trip we do make. We've still got plenty of food in the pantry, fridge and freezer. When you don't live near stores you can just run to anytime, you learn to stock up. 3 weeks is usually the max we can go.
DeleteThat sounds SO fun for DD. I always marvel at the skill of professional drivers and those who can drive like them!
ReplyDeleteDo you know if your son is still racing? I'd be scared to death to race! Bri
ReplyDeletehe has off and on, but not much.
