Fall cleaning

Wow, nothing like watching 2  episodes of hoarders to get  you in the  mood to  clean!!

buckyes

I have all the ingredients to make Buckeyes! Oh man! I cannot wait to sink my teeth into one of those...or 5 of those!

pork roast and peanut butter cookies

Made a pork roast with apples for my in-laws  today...as well as peas, mashed potatoes, and biscuits. Going to deliver it after my hubby  gets home.  Boy Scouts tonight! Making peanut  butter cookies for the Scouts. I'm sure they will be happy!

time with my oldest son

Absolutely beautiful Fall day. My husband and my youngest son went backpacking for one night. My oldest son's allergies are bad right now so he was not too interested in going and getting worse in the damp night air. Things are pretty peaceful here today. I played Frisbee with my son this afternoon. He schooled me on the history of the Frisbee and the physics of how a Frisbee sails through the air. Am I smarter than an 8th grader? no.

Starbucks and friends

Warm and humid today. I put my air conditioning on. Today I am watching my nephew Lucas..he's napping now. My friend is stopping over for a visit today and she's bringing Starbucks!! Yay! I ordered a Chai Latte'. Oh yummy!! My house is actually pretty clean so all I had to worry about was touching up the bathroom. I love it when I get to visit with friends.

Fall is coming

Yesterday it rained all day long! The skies were dark and gray. By the end of the day it really started getting to me. I felt tired and lazy and chilled. I told myself I better learn to embrace winter or I am done for. So, I went and bought a bag of powdered sugar mini donuts. I put blobs of peanut butter on top of them and washed them down with some iced tea!!! LOL It made me feel better. hahahaha

It's been a while since I've written in my journal here. I'm not anyone actually ever looks at it. Anyway, the weather has cooled and I am happy about that. The humidity was starting to take it's toll.

Lately, I've been trying to eat healthier. I still don't mind if I have a sweet snack now and then, but my goal is to eat veggies and fruits for my meals and limited meat. So far, so good. I bought 4 different squashes from the farmers market the other day....acorn, delicata, spaghetti and butternut. Can't wait to eat them...all cooked a different way. My older son is up for anything, but the younger one will be complaining about different veggies showing up on his dinner plate! LOL
