Babnanas 9: Something snappy.....Like BACON!!

[Smileybug]

Good morning.

Smiley, what are you making for the big game? I'm thinking about chili.

That sounds good. I'm still deciding. The boys are badgering their dad for his grilled beef ribs. (If he grills I will make potatoe salad and baked beans.) I know I'm doing stuffed mushrooms. There will be dips and chips. Fruit and veggie tray. Some sort of a salad. Its just my kids that will be here. But they are coming earlier in the day and I know they will continue to graze after eating the meal. I might even do a big pot of baked potatoe soup. That stuff is so good and so fattening. I only fix it a few times a year.

Mmmmm it all sounds so good. I love different salads and I can't remember the last time I had chips and dip. I made a taco soup a few times that we all liked. If I don't make chili, maybe I'll make that. If I can find the recipe. I should go through my recipes and organize them better.

I don't think we have any big plans for the game. We don't care about either team. But I do love watching the commercials, so I will try to find some semi-healthy treats to snack on. I saw a recipe on Pinterest for crockpot chicken tacos I may try. It looked very easy, chicken breasts, a jar of salsa, and a package of taco seasoning.

Where the french toast IS everyone??!!...... Did y'all go to Disney and leave me behind??!

Today was definitely a Monday. Blah. I woke up crabby and chalked it up to the mid-winter seasonal affective thingy. So happy to be dealing with that again. NOT!!! DS10 is sick and he had to stay home from school. Work was really slow Wed., Thurs. and Friday last week, and today didn't prove any better, PLUS the man-boss was in a wicked mood all morning. Nice.

The day did improve as it wore on, at least. I'm poking around the Internet trying to decide how to spend the $100 I got for my birthday. Most people would get that and have a million things to choose from that they'd like to buy. I have No. Clue. (can you tell I'm not a shopper?!....). I want to get something that will last a good long time, and that I will use often.

Anyway, that's the news from Lake Wobegon! If anyone else pops in, for crying out loud SAY SOMETHING!!

I feel very lonely in here.

Gees, $100 would be gone in a matter of seconds in my hands. I could buy shoes, makeup, clothes, a pedicure, Starbucks gift card to keep up my habit, or lots of books for my Kindle.

I just took DD12 to get her hair colored as a reward for getting her grades up. She wanted it dip dyed, where the bottom half is red. She actually wanted teal but I couldn't find a salon that had that color. The red will fade quickly so I told her to keep up her hair color, she has to keep up the grades.

....so, my DH and I went to Lowe's yesterday to look at pre-finished wood flooring (like Pergo)....today, my two older DS's ripped out our old bedroom carpeting and installed it in less than 4 hours! Here are some pix with our new bed:

....I know, I know - I have to get a new bedskirt...

 

[Smileybug]

Good morning ya'll.

LegoMom.....I hope that $100.00 finds a place soon. If nothing else....I'm sure the piggy bank would love to have it.

Mean Queen..... I bet the red looks good in your DD's dark hair.

kimmar..... The floors look great. I can't believe it only took 4 hours.
How was the cruise?

 

[LegoMom3]

kimmar -- normally I'm a carpet kind of gal but I love that look in your room!! Just beautiful. And waiting anxiously to hear about your weekend!!

 

[SadieDog]

Good morning.

Mean Queen, your daughter's hair sounds cool.

LegoMom, it would take me a long time to decided what to do with $100 as well. Sorry work has been slow. I have not heard anything about working this week.

kimmar, I love your bedroom. I'm so jealous! I'm still on plywood and will be for sometime. The only carpet left in my house is in my son's bedroom. I can't have much in the house b/c of allergies. I have 2 area rugs in the living room to help cover the plywood, but 1 needs to be throw out.

 

[LegoMom3]

Well I'm home with a sick DS10. He's still got quite a cough so I was more than willing to let him stay home. He's supposed to have his first ever ski day on Friday!! DH is home during the day but sleeping, so I asked work if I could come in this afternoon (that way DS10 is only home "alone" for about 2 hours). They replied back that I could take the whole day because it's slow. ::sigh:: It's a mixed blessing. I'd much rather be able to be here with my son, but as usual no work = no pay. Hopefully it's the only day I'll have to miss this week. Rent's due....

Anyway I'm going to scrap book today!! Good day for it.

My son is home today with a ridiculous cough as well. He has a consult with an oral surgeon Thursday so I'm hoping he will be ok by then.

There is so much junk going around right now!! Our local hospital actually made the news because of the number of stomach-bug cases they were seeing. Nice.

My son would LOVE it. It's not often he gets to eat 'real meat'

....yes, but it's actually an electric one (I won it last year at a Tricky tray) that I happened to palce on top of the stove. [the gas stove is not on]
