Slache Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Apparently nephew threw a car in the casket and no one got it. Now Pawpaw has a car forever. Or at least until the cremation. 3 minutes ago, Junie said: Um. Maybe they've forgotten that you have four kids and someone needs to take care of them? ETA: Booyah.

Having young children gives you an excuse to get out of absolutely anything and everything you don’t want to do. I’m finding out that an early bedtime or the sniffles doesn’t work when people know you have teenagers. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Good Afternoon! We went to early service and Sunday school and then came home and made the spam sandwiches that dd24 requested. It's a recipe from my childhood when spam was (I think) more commonly accepted as a food, lol. Coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Spam Sandwiches 1 can spam (or Aldi equivalent) 8 hamburger buns butter 1/2 C mayo 2T finely minced onion 1T poppy seeds 2 tsp mustard 8 oz swiss cheese, shredded Heat oven to 350*. Separate buns and butter each half. Arrange onto a baking dish, buttered-side up. Mix together spam, mayo, onion, poppy seeds, and mustard. Divide and spread among bun halves. Top with swiss cheese. Bake for 7-10 minutes, then turn oven to broil and bake 2-3 minutes more or until cheese is melted and starts to brown in spots. Monitor closely to avoid over-browning. Makes 16 open-faced sandwiches. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the math, and even if I spend a dollar a day rewarding myself for exercise for the next 30 years, it's cheaper than one night in the emergency room with a stroke or something. Some rewards I already earned include a new pair of everyday shoes (kind of needed because of wear, but I didn't need ones that are this nice), 3 different new books, a new blank bullet journal (again, I needed one, but this was an upgrade), washi tape, and a sheet of stickers. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I do virtual 5K's or step challenges for the tshirts. I have to get back to it, as well as get back to my yoga/Tai chi. Since classes started I haven't worked out with dd in the mornings because of all the driving ds to school and work makes the timing rough. And I'm having a hard time getting up earlier and doing even MORE driving around. Since I drive him to school, I'm not able to go into work early so I don't have the quiet space to do yoga/tai chi. I was hoping to do it at home but so far haven't managed to get that to work. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianthus Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Busy but good weekend. Great church services again this morning. I cannot believe how comfortable we all feel. A family invited us for lunch. We couldn't go, but really a nice family and we appreciated the gesture. So much friendlier people than the church we visited the past summer. I have sticky buns rising overnight to celebrate Columbus day tomorrow. We generally try to do some kind of exploring, but the weather is miserable and I'm a fairweather explorer... maybe we could do art. I need to bribe someone else to give me time to exercise. I can't fit it in. Dd has an early class and I can't get up before that to exercise. I used to get up at that time before baby dd, but haven't been able to do it again yet. I still get up most nights to find her lost pacifier. She's almost 2. I'm very slow in the mornings nowadays. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! And also Columbus Day! I slept in until 7:30 though it was really occasional dozing and then took Pup to the vet to check out his left ear and his scrotum which has clipper burn. So now we have cream and more ear cleaning medicine. Dd24, her boyfriend, ds27, and I went to the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit yesterday afternoon. It was pretty neat. The "program" itself only lasts about 25 minutes, but it's on a continuous loop so we watched it twice and then on our way out the lady said we could go up to the balcony and watch it from there even though we didn't have the super duper upgrade tickets. (It was not terribly busy.) So we did that. Coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
