It was such a good weekend! I can’t believe that tomorrow is the start of another week at school. Mr. SP is going out of town again this week. I completely lose my routine when he leaves. I don’t know what is wrong with me! Last week I stayed up until midnight each night he…
I am so ready for the weekend! I do have to work tomorrow, but I’m ready to begin now! Tonight….Not so RedneckI’m finally going to get to see Twilight. I’m going tonight with a good friend who also has read all of the books. We waited and waited for it to come to the dollar…
For my 200th post, I’m participating in What’s on Your Wall Wednesday, sponsored by Barb at Grits and Glamour. Check out her blog to see this week’s list of participants. I’d like to share my framed sheet music for this week’s “What’s on Your Wall” post. My maternal grandmother had two cousins, Maggie and Creed,…
I’ve had a severe case of writer’s block this week. My week was one of those where every minute of the day was scheduled. When I finally got home each evening, I just crashed on the sofa with a magazine in one hand and the remote control in the other. TV Watching Report:I’m looking forward…
This has been a good weekend. I didn’t get one thing accomplished on the domestic front, but I did have a good time. My friend Julie invited me to go to “The Gathering of the Goddesses” on Friday night. This event is a benefit for a local children’s museum. Salons, massage, and other services volunteer…
I don’t do much decorating for Valentine’s Day. I did change out the glittered pinecones that I put into a birch cone on my porch for some dried red Sumac. Sumac grows wild all over the place around here. My dad collected a garbage bag of pods for me long ago and I’ve been using…
Someone just emailed me to tell me that they heard that I won $250 in the football pool. I’ve never won anything like that! The money that I don’t yet have is now burning a hole in my pocket. Mr. SP and I played tennis before the party last night and kicked behind. I love…
What are you doing for the Super Bowl? Do you look forward to it and enjoy it? Our supper club is having a Super Bowl party tonight. I am looking forward to the food and the socialization, but I don’t care one thing about the game. I guess I’ll root for the Cardinals since they…
I love Amaryllis and treated myself to a new bulb at the beginning of December. This bulb took forever to bloom. We keep our house pretty cold (about 64 degrees), so maybe colder temperatures slowed down the growth. I’ve been patiently awaiting its bloom and I finally got my reward. Sunday:Wednesday: Ahhhh…Isn’t it beautiful?I could…
Barb at Grits and Glamour is sponsoring the first ever “What’s on Your Wall Wednesday”. I thought that it would be fun to participate in this “first ever” event. Be sure to check out Barb’s blog to see all of the other fun posts. I became obsessed with antique fish platters and plates when I…
I had a few requests for the recipe for Three Cheese Pasta Bake and I’m happy to share it. The original recipe is from the January 2008 issue of Southern Living. I modified the recipe and have included my changes under the original SL recipe.(SL Photo) Three-Cheese Pasta Bake Prep: 20 min., Cook: 7 min.,…
Tennis, Cooking, and Scanning…that’s about all I have done this weekend. Add doing load after load of laundry to the list and that would about sum it up. I don’t think that I have mentioned that I rolled my ankle while running in the woods and ended up with a pretty bad sprain, my first…
