Or rather a green Monday. Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles fans! Your team outplayed the Chiefs big time.
Still love my Chiefs though. Can’t knock a team too much that’s made it to the Super Bowl 3 years in a row. Who knows maybe it’ll be a re-match (hopefully, with a different outcome!) next year.
Joining in with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday. She’s changed up the categories so I’m trying to play along a bit.
*Headings in Green in honor of the Eagles* Just for today.
The Weather
A bit gloomy. Cold. Supposed to snow tomorrow night into Wednesday–winter’s back! Along with a winter storm warning, just snow. And again on Saturday though that might be rain or snow.
As I Look Outside My Window
Clouds, a few random birds at the bird feeders. In the front, a truck doing some sort of serious looking plumbing work at the house on the corner.
Right Now I Am
Working on this post, trying to decide where to start on cleaning the house, status: post-birthday and Super bowl nightmare level & we didn’t even host anything here.
Thinking And Pondering
Trying to not feel guilty for saying no to work today. If I’d been called early, I’d have probably went but I got the text while in the grocery store. By the time I got there, it’d been a 2 hour day of lunch and naptime. Need to focus on my own family today (housecleaning, groceries, errands, etc)
On My Bedside Table
Just a lamp, phone charger, and the book G gave me at Christmas (my e-books from a long library waiting list keep popping up so I keep putting it down). Sometimes the cat if she’s decided I’ve slept too long and decides to sit there meowing until her lazy employee gets out of bed, I mean really the nerve of her employee to sleep past 5:30 in the morning!
On My TV
We watched last season’s Super Bowl yesterday afternoon. It was much better than the one last night 😉 Other than that, random westerns (My husband tends to turn that channel on and leave, then here I am all interested in movies like Red Headed Stranger with Willie Nelson from 1986.). Also, still watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine
On My Reading Pile
One of my long-wait list books, Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. Eleven people waiting on me, kind of wish the library wouldn’t show me that. A little slow to start but really intriguing. I also have Paula Hawkins latest novel to read waiting as well.
Listening To
A bit of sports talk radio last night/this morning before I turned on the regular Pop music station.
On The Menu For This Week
MONDAY: Sad Superbowl Leftovers (smorgasbord of leftover Chinese (G & J), salad, maybe shrimp cocktail, strawberries, cookies, and I don’t know what else)
TUESDAY: Chicken and Noodles/mashed potatoes *I hopefully have plans OUT for Galentine’s Day*
WEDNESDAY: Roast in the Crock Pot *I work(?) 8-4*
THURSDAY: Korean Meatballs, rice *I work 11-2*
FRIDAY: Waffles, Bacon *Valentine’s Day* *I work 10:30-4*
On My To Do List
grocery store, clean the house (cat box, blah!), laundry, check in with work over Wednesday, order prints for part of a Galentine’s Day gift, call brother to see if family still coming in for other brother’s birthday, probably other stuff I can’t remember. Adding in have J look at the computer and see why it’s going so slow again.
Happening This Week
- I work Wednesday (maybe, teacher wanted off for the Chiefs parade, yes, that’s how spoiled our Chiefs had us), Thursday, and Friday
- Galentine’s Day dinner out with friends on Tuesday night (hoping it’s not cancelled due to weather)
- Might have family in town for brother’s birthday on Thursday, need to check on it
- Valentine’s Day on Friday, no plans at the moment
What I Am Creating
I have a few artichoke seedlings!
My Simple Pleasure
Spending time with friends
Lesson Learned The Past Week
Trust that I raised my kids to do the right thing.
Looking Around The House
I need to quit looking and start cleaning, it’s bad!
From The Camera
Didn’t pick up the camera this week but here’s a phone pic of the cat giving G a very mean look because he was out of town over the weekend. She was mad at him but has since forgiven her favorite person. 
Prayer List
Friend who recently lost her father, everyone to stay healthy (so much ickiness floating around), friends, family, strangers

Hello beautiful Jean!
Been thinking about you. Such a bummer – not the loss really, just that your Chiefs weren’t able to perform the way you know they can. But yes, next year!! Big hugs and love in the meantime and you forever have a kick butt team. Plus, you’re the sweetest and best sport – love all the green you share today. 🙏🏻
I hope you’re able to snuggle in and get all the rest of your chores done and eat up those good leftovers in enjoyment! 😉
Love the angry kitty moment – I know that well. Poor G – glad he was forgiven. 😂
Blessings. xoxo
Sorry about your Chiefs! It looks like you have a lovely week planned. Love the flower and the kitty! One of my cats thinks if we leave we are never coming back! Enjoy the week ahead!
Enjoy your day at home. Have a great week
