Yes, when I got my plague shot I was pretty thrilled that I didn’t turn into a monkey. But you never know with anyone else, so you gotta ask about banana cravings.

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Friday!!! The portal finally opened. I’ve been trying to get in the last couple days and to no avail!! I’ve had a horrible cold all week, but no time to just “be sick”. Work has been insane, my house is an absolute disaster, the tree guy just kinda does things on his own time (did y’all ever read “A Year in Provence” by Peter Mayle? Remember his frustration with getting his house worked on? 😂 This is me and the tree guy), DH had a tooth extraction yesterday..... did I mention my house is an absolute disaster?

I was lazy all day. Watched too many Hallmark movies. I blame Angi. Ham and bean soup turned out right tasty. And I finished all the ham leftovers from yesterday.

The Portal opened, so I feel like I should say something, but I don’t have much to say. Actually, I have nothing to say. I’ve been mostly lazy all day.

Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!~D Monday, but it is a holiday yet, so I am happy. Had a good afternoon yesterday with DH’s family. It was a beautiful day, the ham turned out good, even though I forgot to put on the glaze.

Good Morning!! COFFEE!!!!~D Saturday!!! Busy busy day today. House cleaning and I gotta get food stuffs ready for tomorrow. DH’s family is coming over for Easter dinner. One family we haven’t seen since before the Plague, so I am really excited about that. I’ve decided to really torture myself and I have sour dough bread in the works.

And he lived to tell about it. That is so awesome!!

Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!~D A Blessed Good Friday to you all!! I’m taking the kids to the beach today. I wish DH could come, too, but he couldn’t get off work. I hate the drive, but it will be fine. Everyone’s allergies are going bonkers, so some fresh sea air will be quite welcome.

If I wasn’t going to be a CIA operative, I think I would have liked to play keyboard in a 1970’s rock band. Maybe I could do both. Playing keyboard could be my cover. Hmmm, I never thought of that.

Excellent choice!!! I love ELO!!

The Portal finally opened. Went to the dermatologist today. Got a thing removed. Then went to Target and Hobby Lobby and Rubio’s for lunch. Yummy fish tacos.

Yep, they’re done shackin’ up. They’re gonna make it official!!🤣 Just kidding, Jeannie!!

I don’t keep a diary, actually, simply because I am afraid some day someone will read it and I don’t want that to happen.

Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!~D Humph Day!!! Busy day today. Taking DS to The Big City to finish up testing. Should have been done years ago, but.... at least it’s getting done now. DD has an allergist appointment and then she’s spending the night at a friend’s house. I will post my lemon bar recipe later. As soon as I wake up a little more.

I made lemon bars. They are sooooo good. I made them for Easter, though, so they are now in the freezer. Most of them are.

No one is taking this thread seriously. Or are you all pondering my question..... Personally, I have a problem reading other people’s diaries and letters. In Fact, when I was reading the biography of Bonhoeffer I couldn’t read his letters. I just felt weird. So, I skipped that part.

So, I have a question.... what do y’all think about reading diaries? BFF and I were talking about this. She was cleaning out her aunt’s house in preparation to sell, and came across a bunch of diaries from when aunt was a young adult. She also mentioned coming across old letters from late FIL. And we were just talking about is it ok to read that stuff?? And sometimes learning things you really didn’t want to know about. And why we don’t keep diaries ourselves..

I am back. Had a good optometrist appointment, and good lunch with BFF.

Good Morning!! COFFEE!!~D It’s Tuesday!! Spring Break is going waaaay too fast. Busy day today!! Optometrist appointment. And then lunch with my IRL BFF. We’ve been friends since our freshman year in high school. She actually doesn’t live that far away, but we only see each other once a year or so. Of course, we text every day.

Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!!~D A Blessed Palm Sunday to you all!! Church this morning!! Baby gives her testimony for baptism this evening. Baptism will be on Easter Sunday. Woke up early this morning. Lily-cat avoided being let out last night and walked across my feet at 5:30am. Never did fall back asleep.

Well, the party is over. It was lots of fun. I think a good time was had by all.

Fire pit was a great idea. Girls are roasting marshmallows, it is a beautiful evening out and they seem to be having a good time. “I love it when a plan comes together.”

Girls should be finishing their scavenger hunt by now.

Pizza is ready!!! Woohoo!!! DH is picking it up.

Good Mornign!!! COFFEE!!!!~D is not quite ready yet, Saturday!!! Oldest DD’s birthday party is this afternoon. I think I am basically ready. All you have to do is give teenage girls a venue to gab and some food and you’re good to go.
