It’s my blog…

…and I can do what I want to.  Actually I think it is supposed to be “party” instead of “blog” and “cry” but it’s my blog and I can do what I want to.

I’m taking a medication that is tearing up my stomach.  Literally.  So I missed work yesterday before I realized I should take this medication with food and not on an empty stomach like I was doing.  Issue resolved.

I had a lot to do at work today.  Like getting some forms to our clients.  IRS forms to be exact.  Forms that don’t line up with our software.  Three-part “carbonless” forms that have to be ripped apart before printing.  (Seriously, who uses impact printers any more?)  Forms on super thin paper that don’t go through any printer we have without skipping a page or ripping the form to smithereens.

Today is National Do Nothing Day and while I had plenty to do today (thanks to missing work yesterday), I am liking this day.  At least I’m liking it now.

It was also “lasagna” day.  One of my co-workers has a meeting every third Thursday each quarter.  He goes past a restaurant that has a special on Thursdays on lasagna for only $5.25.  Including fabulous, fresh, Italian bread.

Easy dinner.

Something I could relate to today: EASY.

We partook of the lasagna for dinner.

And freshly baked Italian bread.

 Along with a bottle of wine.

Menage a Trois.  Inexpensive.  But good.

Which we enjoyed.

To the very last drop.

I’m working on a sweater for someone and I’m just not feeling the love.

I’m making up the pattern as I go.

It’s not working out exactly as I envisioned.

I’ve started over a few times.

Back to the drawing board?

Or do I just break down use a “real” pattern?

Warmth

In an attempt to warm up the house Monday evening I made 18 mini loaves of quick bread.

Twelve pumpkin and three cranberry/orange.

Only eleven and a half made it for a group photo.  Yum!  Even if they were from a boxed mix.

The rest may or may not make it to the freezer.

The snowman on my door

I promised a picture of the five-foot snowman hanging on my front door if it was above zero and still light out.

It was above zero (4 degrees F to be precise) when I took this picture.

But not light enough.

Sorry.  There’s only so much I know how to do with Photoshop.

He’s really a creamy white color though looks yellow in the porch lights.  He’ll hang around till the end of February or March or when I remember to change him out for something more seasonably appropriate.
