Another weekend come and gone. I really do cherish my weekends and the time that I get to spend at home making life better there.
Friday should have been a working Friday, but I had a little bout with a stomach bug and spent the day sleeping and resting on the couch. I attempted making a batch of rolls to have with dinner. My plan was to let the bread maker do the dough making and then I would form the rolls. I quickly found a recipe, threw in the ingredients, and went back to laying down on the couch. After reviewing what I had just done in my head, I realized that the recipe called for no fat, no sugar, and too much salt. I tried my best to make it better but they came out sour and dense. The dogs thought they made great treats though! That should probably teach me a lesson about cooking while sick and groggy.
Saturday morning I got up early, determined to rid the flower beds of weeds and dying flowers. All of the recent rain made quick work of pulling out the major junk. I stuffed two trash bags full before feeling hot and sweaty and determining it good enough for the day. Around noon I looked outside and it was bright and sunny and pouring rain. The sun was quickly chased away and the rain settled in to stay awhile. It rained hard. Our yard quickly filled with water and the gutters were so full that there was only a small strip of street worth driving down. I needed to make a quick trip out to the grocery store so I hopped in the truck and prayed that the flooding wasn’t worse other places. It turns out that less than 2 miles from our house the streets were completely dry. The clouds just decided to unload on our little neighborhood, and unload they did.
I really enjoyed the RS broadcast this weekend. I always feel buoyed back up after another session. I really wasn’t feeling like going but pulled myself out of the house and was really glad that I did.
Sunday was a good relaxing day. Homemade blueberry muffins, a long bubble bath, everything going well at church and dinner made by James. Have I mentioned that I love it when he cooks dinner. He doesn’t use recipes, loves the spice cabinet and always turns out something yummy. He is especially wonderful at transforming leftovers into a meal that is even better than it was in its first life. Last night he made green chile enchiladas. Green chile anything is his specialty. I can’t wait for my lunch leftovers today!
I am looking forward to a quick four-day work week followed by a relaxing loungy weekend. Maybe there will be cinnamon rolls!
Stacy – can I live with you again? You’re making me hungry!! I would die for some of your crockpot chicken tacos right now! I think I’ve made zero anything homemade in months!
