Happy Homemaker Monday Night

Still trying to get back into the groove of blogging over here….

Just going to go right to the categories tonight.

The Weather

Nice right now but it’s supposed to be cold and snowy when we get up tomorrow? Well, we still need rain or some sort of moisture. Then, back to the 70’s for the weekend. Can’t even figure it out anymore.

As I Look Outside My Window

Um, the cat’s in the way and the windows are a bit dirty. Need to spring clean but haven’t been in the mood.

Right Now

Just trying to get a quick post done so I don’t go weeks without posting again.

Thinking and Pondering

Back to work tomorrow but I feel like I need another week of spring break (ha!) though last week wasn’t bad and I took an extra day for myself today.

How I am Feeling

Tired and a bit grouchy

On the Breakfast Plate

On the Lunch Plate

Sort of ate breakfast and lunch together as I didn’t eat before going to the grocery store so a weird combo of one leftover French toast stick followed by a grilled cheese and some grapes. Vitamins and coffee in there as well.

On The Dinner Plate

Roast pork loin, mashed potatoes, and dinner rolls. Not a green vegetable in sight. Just the way it goes sometimes.

On The Menu

MONDAY: roast pork loin (it was good but a bit salty, I didn’t adjust for having a smaller piece of meat. Oops!), mashed potatoes, and dinner rolls.

TUESDAY: Spaghetti, salad *I work 8-5*

WEDNESDAY: Chicken strips and French fries

THURSDAY: Turkey sausage/broccoli/orzo skillet *I work 8-5*

FRIDAY: Either out or Tacos…undecided

What I Am Wearing Today

Sweatshirt, jeggings, tennis shoes.

On My Reading Pile

Just finished The New Couple in Apartment 5B by Lisa Unger. It was creepy good. Not really a read at night book. Also, still working on the How to Break Up with Your Phone book.

On My TV This Week

Too much. Last week I started watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix, finally. Can you believe I’ve never seen it? Enjoying my “girly” show. Also watched a fun movie called What’s in the Barn (good one for you Halloween/Christmas movie fans, note there’s some language but it’s a fun holiday/horror type movie). Spring Baking Championship, Next Level Chef, The Ones Who Live, Abbott Elementary. Too much! Oh, and I also watched the Mean Girls musical movie, enjoyed it!

Looking Around the House

Well, I didn’t do any spring cleaning over my spring break so….it’s not exactly pretty around here. My “holiday” cactus bloomed when I wasn’t looking. (sorry, not a great pic)

On My To Do List

Not too much…probably just forgetting it all though

  1. Grocery store *DONE*
  2. mail a couple Easter cards
  3. work
  4. join in for Five on Friday, you should, too!
  5. finalize Easter baskets…nothing big but I still like to give the boys baskets
  6. figure out our Easter plans (J is playing at all the church services but we’ll only go to the last one)

From The Camera

The tulips blooming in the corner of the driveway garden area make me happy

Quote for the Week

  1. Lovely photos Jean. You sound like you need a rest, bless you. Thank you for promoting the Five on Friday and for joining in. I love the quote this week, Hope is indeed the great gift of Easter.
    Take care and have a good week. Cathy x

    1. Thank you! Week wasn’t too bad. Hoping to get a post up later this afternoon 🙂

  2. I’m loving your flower pictures! All of my Christmas Cacti are in full bloom AGAIN also – Winter and spring are in a custody battle around here and we are NO WHERE near spring yet. 38 degrees and the wind is whipping in the middle of a full on rain storm right now.

    I LOVE Gilmore Girls – have watched it through several times, plus the sequels. ENJOY! Have a WONDERFUL Easter my friend.

    1. Thank you! Such strange weather. We luckily are getting spring this weekend with highs in the low 70s though the wind is making it feel not quite that warm after all. I’m really enjoying Gilmore Girls. Hope you have a great weekend and wonderful Easter also!
