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...
Yes indeed, the weekend flew by. Saturday especially. Hobby Lobby especially seems to have some kind of a time warp going on. You enter at 1 and by the time you realize it, it's 3. Oh well, back to the grind...
ReplyDeleteThat was a busy weekend indeed! Mine was grocery shopping early on Saturday, mowing the lawn in that horrendous heat, dogs for a drive in the country, Farm & Fleet on Sunday, another quick trip to the grocery store, wrapping a baby present, and writing out a baby card and sympathy card which took some time to figure out just what to say. Oh yeah, and some laundry, and going out for an early dinner last night for the hub's birthday. Hubs gave one of the pooches a much-needed bath, for which I was very thankful. Was up early for the garbage and recycling that needed to get out before therapy and a doctor's appointment, so I'm a bit petered out now, especially with this dang heat! Still have one more loado of laundry to do (not including the dog blankets and beds...peeyou)and have to wrap the hubs gifts tonight after he goes to bed. But ANW is over with so I don't have that excuse of sitting in front of the tube for 2 hours. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat pasta looks amazing! Please share. :)
ReplyDeleteThe pasta is from Trader Joe's- their lemon pepper pasta. Then I use 1 cup of light alfredo sauce. I steamed the broccoli with some garlic powder in the microwave for 3 minutes and kind of put the pasta on top so the alfredo would flavor it a bit too. The scallops were patted dry then seared in a medium heat skillet with 1 tsp of olive oil seasoned with a sprinkle of Old Bay (not much), pinch of smoked salt and fresh pepper. Delish!
DeleteThank you!
