Couldnāt think of a snazzy titleā¦ I tend to use misc, random and odd and things like that a little too much āStuffā will have to do, since it is just a bunch of silly stuff!
* Things are busy here, yet not in some ways. Tim is working most every weekend, in the middle of the night, which really messes up his sleep patterns. He was up all last weekend, and I got up at 4 AM to put a roast in the crockpot. I discovered that a) 4 AM is not a natural time for me to be awake and b) once Iām up, cooking in the kitchen with all the lights on, it is very difficult to fall back asleep!
* Iām so glad football season is back, as well as fantasy football. Once again, I tried to draft my own players and ended up botching up my team. Oh well, at least itās all for fun. It will NOT be fun around my house this weekend, as Tim and I go up against each other in our fantasy football league this time On a happier note, both of our teams are doing well. Our college alma mater (USM) and Timās beloved Saints. Oh, the hope for our Saints springs eternal every fall!
* Beau has been very worked up lately. Weāve had a lot of grey days and rain and ālooks like rainā, so he has not been outside as much. He has a lot of pent-up energy and some days he is hard to deal with. Of course, I should be a good doggie parent and walk him regularly, but I tend to open the gate and let him run wild in the area behind our house
* Iāve been cooking a lot, and finally trying some new recipes. I have been motivated because weāve installed a new recipe system on our website (more on that in a future post, I have one brewing in my drafts). Of the new recipes, most have been hits but thereās been a couple of misses. One was last night, I tried a crockpot orange chicken. I should have known better, and I did, but I wanted to try it anyway Tim doesnāt do citrus in any way, shape or form. I liked it though, so Iām debating on whether to post it on our site.
* I havenāt been reading as much as normal. I havenāt been watching many movies. Itās hard to pin down just what I have been spending my time doing, LOL! But we are picking back up all of our fall tv shows. So far, weāre back into Heroes, NCIS, the new NCIS: Los Angeles, Survivor, Bones, Fringe, and Mentalist. I think we have a few more to go. I wanted to try Flash Forward, but we already have two shows recording in that time slot, hehehe!
* I had a bunch of credit built up at Amazon, including some gift cards I have won at Swagbucks (check it out, and use me as a referral if youāre interested!). I ordered a bunch of books and Iām eagerly awaiting their arrival. Of course, I just went to the library, so I have a stack of books to read, but still. I love to get a box full of books on my doorstep in that brown Amazon box! Iāll post a picture when they get here (I always use free shipping, so it takes a lot longer!)
Ok, Iām sure thereās moreā¦ I have an update to my recycling post that I made a couple of weeks ago. And then thereās the wildly interesting post I have in my drafts folder about cleaning out and reorganizing my pantry, riveting stuff, I tell ya! Anyway, Iām still trying to blog, but I think a lot of people have given up blogging, as well as reading blogs. I still do Facebook and Twitter though, so maybe that is where Iām spending most of my time!
Have a wonderful, blessed day!
