- Hanging pictures
- Cleaning floors for the first time in the new house (I mean, actually mopping. I do vacummn...whenever the combo of chest hair, head hair, and dog hair in the corners gets to be too bad)
- Baking crusty, chewy homemade bread....oh and banana bread which wasn't quite as awesome because it had honey in it and I hate the taste of honey. I can still eat it though because I undercooked it just a little so the top is just a tad gummy. You know that's the best way. And it counteracts the taste of honey.
- Made the bed multiple times (compared to the only when I changed the sheets when I was working.
- Made a new throw pillow which Rick loves. He loves throw pillows, especially throwing them across the room.
- Rearranged the guest bedroom. Ok, I actually only did this because my mother told me too. She's bossy.
- Did and am doing laundry regularly. Which has made me realized we really don't have enough hangers. I never noticed before because we usually had a hamper full of dirty clothes all the time. And when I say we don't have enough hangers, I mean, enough of the matching teal velvet ones. I like things to coordinate.
- And for the piece de resistance (I totally just googled that for spelling) the menu for the last week or two:
- Homemade pork potstickers and fried rice (OK, I'm not going to type homemade in front of everything. I don't want to wear out my fingers).
- Potato Soup
- Black Eye Peas and Rice
- French Onion Soup (made with a pale ale..delish)
- Calzones with home made crust
- Sausage and Greens Soup with Cornbread Dumplings
- Pork Cutlets Diane with mashed potatoes
- Black Eye Pea Dip
- Beef and Beer Stew
- Pork Chops with Spinach and Cheesy Polenta
- Chicken Enchiladas
- Spicy Mac and Cheese (technically this wasn't homemade...thanks, Annie in the purple box on sale at Kroger for like 50 cents a box.)
- And other stuff I forgot but I'm sure it was good. Pretty sure.
I have also made multiple pots of coffee, watched hours of Hulu and movies, and twiddled my thumbs. Did I mention Rick cancelled our cable? I say this not to brag but to find out if anyone has the perfect three day a week or morning only job for me. Something fun and stress free. Please?
I forgot: I rewarded myself by eating like ten mini kosher dill pickles from a teacup. I love that I never have to share my mini pickles with Rick. That's awesome. I love him.
I miss you so much. I was thinking now that you have some time on your hands I could use a visit from you. Erik is in the dessert so it would be great. I even could keep you busy with a few things I would like to get done. Your amazing it sounds like you are doing awesome. I hope to talk to you soon
