TGIF??? I somehow have to manage to get to 5pm-ish today before I can truly relax. Today we are off to the kids Lyme dr. Y'all know how much fun that is. /110% snark
Thank goodness, I like their dr, because otherwise... :faint2:
Add in the fact that I slept like crap, was up and mind racing before 4am, just... ugh. And also a HUGE thank goodness that my mom drives the second leg of the trip. We go to my mom's, have a quick b-fast and then she drives down to him. Then we stop for lunch, head back to her house, then my 45 minute drive back to mine. This visit has to be better than the last one- that was the 2 1/2 hour marathon session with Scott. It has to be better than that, right? RIGHT???
hahaha!!
Yesterday was also a bummer of a day. Just cold and rainy, and so tired. But I made a really delicious dinner. Acorn Squash Bisque and homemade "buttermilk" biscuits. The soup was super easy (must remember to microwave the squash earlier so it has time to cool before I start scraping it out and burn my hands). Micro'd the squash, cooked that in water and chicken broth with some onion and thyme, stick-blendered it smooth, then added a 1/2 of half and half. The biscuits-- I have been on a search for a biscuit recipe for what seems like forever! None of the ones that I have tried every come out good. The recipe called for buttermilk (naturally!!) but I know that kefir can replace it so that is what I used. No idea if that is what made the difference, but everyone liked them.
Scott's car needed a new radiator.
That CD we just cashed out for him, he is using that to pay for it. I know that is what it is there for, but man, I feel so bad that it had to be so expensive.
Today's QOTD
What is your dream car?
I would love a Hybrid Ford Escape. We looked at that before we bought the VUE, but it was out of our price range. I need a bigger car for all of the times we go to PA or am shuttling around kids. I also need to be up higher than a car. I am so short, I can't see over hoods, so that little bit of height helps out a lot. And of course, the hybrid part for the environmental aspects. If they made an Electric Escape, that would be even better. Or a solar paneled one!
Finish it Friday:
Am I allowed to finish this entire pot of coffee on my own????????
:madgrin:
Hugs love and most of all-- caffeine to all!!!!
(sorry to those of you who don't ingest caffeine, but you can send me your share instead LOL)
