Now that I have spent hours fixing the little details of my bolg's layout and clicking through gazillions of pictures to create a slide show, I feel the need to at least post something. I decided to create a boring blog where I can just blog about my day. No pressure here to be witty, or offer amazing advice about dog training, or even make sense. This will be my rant and rave and brag and babble blog. I plan to use the space to report the mundane happenings of my everyday ordinary life. It is now technically Tuesday, but I am considering this Monday's entry.
Today I overslept and missed breakfast with my friends. :( I was bummed. I had planned to go out with Debi and Linda to get breakfast in town. After a looooooong holiday vacation of husbands and kids, this was going to be our morning to catch up. I made the mistake of not checking for the phone before going to bed, it was in the living room. I missed all of Linda's calls this morning and slept until startling awake at 11:30! Breakfast was at 8:30. In my defense, I had a bad night's sleep and did not really fall asleep until 4 am, then was woken at 6 (cause my husband thought I had dialysis) then again at 7,(cause my kids are mean) and then nothing, out like a light until 11:30! :(
At 12:30 I started a pot roast for supper. We tried Hannaford's ready to go pot roast veggies. Fresh veggies in a plastic bowl, 5 red potatoes, 3 cut onions and some baby carrots, I added another small bag of carrots. It was soooo simple, I threw in the meat, dumped in the veggies and added the water. NO CUTTING OR PEELING! I love my crock pot! I put it on high and took off. (Hubby was home sick)
I picked up Chinese take out and headed over to Linda's. We chatted and ate, I drank too much tea, but we had a nice visit. I felt a little better about missing breakfast. At around 3:30 I left for Ashleigh basketball game.
Ashleigh's team played really well today. They seem to be coming together. Ashleigh played well, she was on the court quite a bit this game. Unfortunately, they lost in the last 2 seconds of the game, 25-27 to Maranacook. Mark was coaching Maranacook and every time he yelled Ashley (to a girl on his team) my Ashleigh would freeze and look at him for directions; he was her coach for the last 3 years!
After the game we came home and I fixed supper. The pot roast was tender and I actually served the meat (and the veggies) with a spoon! YUMMMY. I did have two teas with supper, I was naughty. It was a great meal, but we could have eaten more potato. I think next time I will buy little red potatoes and suffer peeling a few onions and skip the ready veggies. It was nice, but we need a little more and the bundle was a bit pricey. I do have enough meat and carrots leftover for someone to enjoy for lunch though.
Around 6pm, Ashleigh and I headed off to my Girl Scout team meeting. Productive meeting, very entertaining tonight, good group, even if Ellen still has it in for me. I finally registered the girls for cookie rally and Valentines for Veterans. I need to try to get my head more into the troop. This year has been such a blurr.
After the meeting, Ashleigh, Melissa and I hung out at Friendly's and had a evening snack. Ashleigh had a Reese's sundae and I had a munchy mania. Lots of salt, but I figured it was better than ice cream, at least it wasn't liquid. I had one small glass of water, no refill. I am trying to cut my liquids down to 48 oz. a day. NOT an easy task, considering I used to drink nearly 150 a day easily, sometimes more. I would rather drink than eat.
Ash and I got home around 10:30 and found everyone asleep. I sent her to bed, and she eventually went. I read Linda's blog and felt compelled to start my own daily blog, to go with my animal and dog blogs. This one is for me. This brings me to the couple hours spent setting it up. I guess that means this post is complete. Stay tuned for Tuesday... oooooh bet you can hardly wait.
