We are 31*, no snow. Maybe later today, they are saying. Just when I need to go out to an appointment. Sigh.
This weekend was all about cleaning the shop (at DH's request) and watching football. After 2 days of cleaning there was only a tiny bit left for him to do on his own. He promised he would '"git 'er dun!" yesterday. After a couple of hours I went out to admire his work and found nothing done - he was distracted by a 'shiny object'. I knew I should never have let him have a computer, his favorite toy, out there! I was NOT happy. I think it will be done today. If not, then I will do it and he won't like how I take care of his workbench and reloading supplies.
Football didn't go our way either. Oh well, there's always another year. I did get my watering cans for the spring swap all stitched down this weekend, though, and all that's left to do is my flowerpot with it's little posy. I am making 10 blocks and then will see if we get any more sign-ups before the Jan 19 deadline.
BECCA - Prayers go with Brodee as he goes for his check-up!
BECKY - chicken and homemade noodles sounds so - well - homey! Yum!
JANA - my house isn't uber clean either, even though it's well-purged right now. But most of the time, I'm not embarrassed if we get drop-in company.
Bill will vacuum if I ask him, and sometimes fold clothes if the dryer buzzer goes off while he's sitting next to the dryer watching TV. He'll also empty the dishwasher on occasion. But cooking? - He thinks he's a good cook. But he really isn't. Trust me. The most I'll ask of him is to make a salad or coffee. LORI - I'm glad you got your doughnuts. And glad I didn't! No bakeries here except for in the grocery stores. I LOVE doughnuts of all kinds so much that I can't even pick a favorite.
IRISH - I'm freezing just reading about your little neighbor girls running barefoot in swimsuits! In January!! I guess if you were moving, the kids would HAVE to come get tools, wrapping paper, or whatever is in 'their pile'! lol! Speaking of your 'stuff', you mentioned cross-stitch - any Christmas patterns? They have to be easy to read and in color. My eyes can't pick out the black/white patterns any more.
Our pizza last night was better than usual. Bill even said so! I added some gorgonzola crumbles along with the mozzarella and parm cheeses, and freshly ground pepper over all. Both things he would have poo-poo'd if he'd seen me do it.
What's going on your plate or in your bowl tonite?
