Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap

Guten Morgan this fine Monday.  I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week.  (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days.  I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight.  I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.)  Friday was exhausting y'all.  I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10.  Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias.  Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over.   So Friday morning I got to work picking of...

What I'm Reading This Week #43

Heidi ho y'all!  We've made it to the end of another week so that's something to celebrate.  (Unless you have to work, then, sorry.)    

I remembered to take a few pics this week of the dinners even though they weren't super fancy.

Monday we made Scallop Scampi over lentil pasta with roasted broccoli:




Tuesday we smelled Chinese food in the distance on our walk around the hood so I changed dinner and we had General Tso's Chicken over cauliflower rice:




Wednesday was a low key night so we had pepperoni and veggie Caulipower pizza




Last night was Passion Fruit glazed Orange Roughy with Sweet Potato Gnocchi (which I've been craving like mad) and garlic peas.




Let's see what scintillating topics I've been peeping aka:










22 Ways to Stop Feeling Guilty All the Time  (Pack yer bags, we're going on a guilt trip!)

10 Small Habits That Have A Huge Return On Life  (There's one I think is a crock but thinking about the rest of 'em.)


What Can You Do with Leftover Pumpkin Puree?  (I add it to oatmeal with some coconut sugar and chia seeds.  Yum!)

12 DIY Holders That'll Make You Actually Want To Display Your Holiday Cards  (Yes, it's time for holiday DIY's so you can actually enjoy them!  I do #4 with a birch branch.)

10 Pine Cone Ornaments Your Christmas Tree Didn't Know It Was Missing  (Um, I think I'm doing slide 8 and finishing with slide one.  So pretty!)

You Should Be Cutting Your Jack-o'-Lantern Lids From the Bottom, Not the Top  (Makes sense!)

Say goodbye to ALL Peanuts specials  (Lucy was right, it IS run by a syndicate.  We are beyond ticked because we refuse to use any crapple products.  The multi-pack DVD's have sold out upon the announcement (and prices for available ones TRIPLED.  You can still get the separate DVD's for now.  It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown , Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and of course A Charlie Brown Christmas.  Even buying all three of those separately would be $36 and that's still $14 less than you would have spent for the box set before they jacked up the prices.)

The Mr is taking a hooky day today and we're going to his hometown.  There's a place that has our coveted MI Northern Spy apples ("spies are for pies!") and my apple pie has been requested for drop off for Thanksgiving.  So we're thinking of getting there when they open before nutball crowds we've been encountering on drive by's kick in for the day.  

Any tomfoolery planned for the weekend?
