Just two days left in February.
On Wednesday, we welcome in March and all it brings. Promises of green, spring, and the anticipation of a new season. Who’s ready? I’m definitely ready. Time to lighten up and move forward from the dark winter. (I’d say cold, dark winter but really we’ve had such a weird one that it’s hardly been cold or dark really.) 
However, for today, let’s just stick with planning the week ahead. Joining in with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom for the fabulous link up.
The Weather
Yesterday was cloudy and misty, just a blah sleepy day. Today is kind of the same except it’s windy. We’re under a wind advisory until noon though I don’t think it’s that windy out there. We had some storms overnight so everything is still wet outside. It’s 51 which is pretty warm but doesn’t feel like it with the wind. I probably should’ve worn a coat to the store. 
It’s supposed to be in the 60’s most of the week before going back to the mid 40’s on Thursday and Friday. I see a slight chance of rain/snow on Thursday when the cold front moves through. Does that mean March is coming in like a lamb or a lion? Hmmm….
As I Look Outside My Window
Cloudy skies, birds at the bird feeders. 
Right Now
I’ve just returned from the grocery store and sat down to work on this post.
Thinking And Pondering
Quite a bit, some school changes for J. They’re for the better and mean he’ll graduate (thank you, God!) but it’s yet another transition. New things I want to do personally in March. Mainly some lifestyle changes I want to make. Time to get back in shape or at least be healthier.
On My Bedside Table
The usual, lamp and phone charger. It does hold my glasses and phone at night. Here’s something that is currently beside it by the window. My amaryllis about to bloom! 
This plant/flower is three years old. Look how big it’s become.
And yes, it started as just one of those bulbs you pick up at the garden centers around Christmas. 
It goes outside every summer. And I’ve actually divided it twice though I’ve yet to see blooms from those plants.
On My TV Tonight
Probably not much. Today, I’ll watch a Dr. Who episode but probably not much else unless I decide to fold a bunch of laundry. Then, I’ll watch some episodes of You.
Listening To
I can hear G moving around upstairs getting ready to go to class. Otherwise, it’s quiet in here.
On The Lunch Plate
Currently leaning toward a grilled hummus sandwich and chips
On The Dinner Plate
Korean Meatballs, rice, maybe green onion pancakes if I get ambitious.
On The Menu For This Week
MONDAY: Korean Meatballs, Green Onion Pancakes maybe *J has a lesson at 6:30*
TUESDAY: Taco Salads
WEDNESDAY: Chicken and spinach skillet dinner
THURSDAY: Hawaiian BBQ pork sandwiches, french fries
FRIDAY: Maybe waffles? Peanut butter pancakes?
SAT/SUN: OUT on Saturday, Roast in the Crock Pot on Sunday
On My Reading Pile
Over the weekend, I couldn’t put down a book called The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. I did have some suspicions about how it would turn out and disliked the ambiguous ending a bit but overall, pretty intriguing. The other book I read last week was called The Personal Assistant by Kimberly Belle. I enjoyed it enough to check out another book by the same author called My Darling Husband to read this week.
I’m also finally reading through My Hygge Home by Meik Wiking. It’s a “real” library book so I’m enjoying the pictures as much as the text. Thinking I’m going to need my own personal copy of it.
On My To Do List
- Grocery store *DONE*
- Target for cat food
- Clean the house
- Laundry
- Sort out one shelf each in pantry/upstairs freezer
- Figure out J’s new school plan, it’s at a different school and I’m not sure of the times
Plans This Week
*whispers* This seems to be a slower week so no big plans. Maybe I’ll start some seeds as I didn’t do it over the weekend. We do have our once a month dinner/game night with friends on Saturday.
What I’m Creating
I shared this last week but look I did a diamond painting project! I’ll be looking for more of these in the future. 
Simple Pleasure
Soft, warm blankets on cold, cloudy days. 
Looking Around The House
Looks like a Monday after we were home all weekend.
From The Camera
More plants and flowers, of course. 
Quote For The Week
Be a goldfish (Ted Lasso)
Explanation for those of you not familiar with the show:
**************
Day 57/365
Your menu sounds great. I need to add some unique items to our menu plan like the meatballs you are having. I just don’t seem to be creative with the menu at the moment. I hope that the new school works out well.
Thank you! My Korean meatballs aren’t very unique, Sam’s club frozen meatballs and a jar of Korean BBQ sauce from Target in the slow cooker served over rice. My oldest and I add sesame seeds and everyone gets chopped green onions on top to be “fancy” Sometimes I’ll throw some broccoli in near the end as well. Hope you have a great week!
I never knew that Amaryllis would grow outside but a friend told me she replants hers every year, so I have mine ready to replant! Hope it works!!!
Yes, I usually keep mine in the pot but move it outside (and repot it as it grows). Mine usually blooms again around July. Just have to remember to move them back inside before the first frost around here. Good luck! I hope you see some summer blooms 🙂
I love a quiet week. I hope it stays that way for you! Love your menu plan. Thanks for the ideas! Weird winter here too. Snowy one day, sunny and warm the next!
They are nice, I did have a chance to work this afternoon but decided to commit to the quiet week (and some much needed yard work). Hope you have a wonderful week!
Hello my Lovely!
So happy to hear about J and graduation and that working out. Yes – thank God! 🙏 💕
I love your pics and they make me want Spring so badly!
I think I read that My Hygge book too – just makes you feel good. 😊
Ted Lasso is Matt’s absolute fave show! I love it too. And I gave him a t-shirt last valentines day that said the be a goldfish phrase. Love it! Lol
Blessed week to you xo
Yes, I’m so relieved though we aren’t quite there yet but it looks like it is going to be okay. I do love all those books about Hygge especially the pictures. Maybe they are just picture books for adults? March 15 is the new season but something tells me you already know that 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend!
I’d like that book ‘in paper’ too. Enjoyed reading your post.
Have a great rest of the week
It is a pretty book. I have an ongoing list of books like that I’d like to own. Ones I think I’d keep returning to again if only to see the pictures. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
