What I'm Reading This Week #34

Hello you sassy beast!  Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend?  Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts.  I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season.  I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed.  It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll.   We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance.  It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th.  Do people even celebrate their 30t...

My day in pictures

I don't have a pic of us doing free weights and yoga but pretend.  :-)

Talked the Mr into a hooky day and the zoo was calling.  It was heavenly and very cute.

The cuteness continued with a swing by the pet store and a very soft, furry beagle I named Maddie.

Dinner was apple bbq pork chop (my ode to pork chops & applesauce) and chipotle bites. 
Dessert was a family birthday gathering at Menchie's fro-yo.  As you can see, I ate healthy.  :-O

What would your pictures of yesterday show?

  2. Yesterday is a day I'd just as soon not have pictorial evidence of. The morning was fine, but the afternoon just kept getting worse. Nothing major happened, but a string of annoyances left me all green and hulky by bedtime. Hopefully today will be better.

    I'm glad you had fun at the zoo.

    1. The chipotle bites are from Trader Joe's. Very yummy and when I tried to recreate them myself, I found that it was only like $.20 more to buy them pre-assembled there so I let them have all the fun and we eat them. HA!

    1. It's super easy! For 2 pork chops I use 3 tbsp brown sugar hickory BBQ sauce and 1 tbsp of chunky apple jelly. After you've grilled up your seasoned chops, brush on the sauce and enjoy! :)

  8. Sorry I missed your birthday. My computer got fried in a power outage and then we had issues restoring it, had to change the operating system, yadda yadda yadda. I wish you the very, very best. I never know if you reply to my posts, never get notices of replies, anyhow. If you ever want to get hold of me, be sure to use my primary email, not my gmail. Sending love to you and your Mr.
