My Daily Travels

This is not what I had planned for tonight's dinner, but the hubby texted me and asked me if I would make bacon cheeseburgers, a side of baked beans that are topped with crispy bacon and served with beer on ice. After working a very long week, who am I to deny such a simple request? I also plan to... Sign in to see full entry.

Thankfully, the chill has worn off now and it is pleasantly warm outside. After surveying the yard and feeding my many outdoor creatures, to my shock and absolute horror, I found that the cute little chipmunk that I feed seeds and nuts to daily made a mess in my flower bed from digging up roughly...

I normally make some sort of Mexican cuisine on Tuesdays, but we have been so caught up with cleaning, and the many different upgrades since we bought our house a few months ago that we eat whatever we are in the mood for or whatever we find leftover in the fridge. John texted me earlier today from... Sign in to see full entry.

I have been at it all morning with decluttering my plastic bowl cupboard, dusting, vacuuming, and attending to a basket full of dirty laundry. We have a new kitchen table arriving that will fit in my nook perfectly, but first I had to move out an old kitchen stand that housed my microwave,... Sign in to see full entry.

I got the news today that my baby brother is in fear for his life due to being bedridden with a fever, chills, body aches, headache, and the inability to rest due to non-stop coughing. To boot he also has poison ivy with a rash running up his left arm. I would have never thought that my healthy... Sign in to see full entry.

There is nothing worse than jumping on your computer first thing in the morning and discovering that it is dragging due to a new update that remains fairly persistent until you finally address it.

Running around a grocery store while planning out meals each week is not my idea of a good time, but it is a necessary one for my particular lifestyle. Rather than spend a ton of money on the food trucks that park at the steel mill, I make lunches for John, oftentimes two lunches on the days that he... Sign in to see full entry.

The new refrigerator should have been delivered last week, but construction on the main street in my small borough prevented the delivery truck from getting through town. The 22-foot truck finally got here earlier this afternoon. I got lucky in that I was not held up all day like I was last Friday... Sign in to see full entry.

By the end of the long work week, our laundry pile looks like we are a family of six rather than two due to John's many double shifts at the mill. Today, I get to play catch up. This will not be a problem since I enjoy doing laundry on rainy days. Sign in to see full entry.

I can't complain about all of the hours that my hubby is working, simply because it is helping out to pay for our many recent upgrades on our recently purchased home, but dinner for one can be lonely unless you find some really good grub that takes your mind off of the whole situation.
