I have leftovers to nuke from dinner last night... There is something I love about leftovers. They are warm and the flavors are all melded together from a slumber party in the fridge the night before.
Thank goodness Matty doesn't mind leftovers either. Cause that's what he packed today.

Tonight I am making my Mom's 'Meatball Stew' recipe. She has made it for years although I have no idea where it originated from. It's great after a slumber party in the fridge too.

I am thinking that homemade pizza and pasta salad should be on the menu this weekend... not necessarily at the same meal. The MIL is going to be away Friday and Saturday night at a retreat so I am thinking quick and no fuss.

Hopefully, the Matty and I can squeeze in a movie this weekend and at least one nap. I slept about an hour and a half last Sunday afternoon and it was luscious.

We were up a bit after 10:00 last night redoing the laminate floor at the top of the stairs. It took 3 attempts and about $50. worth of wasted flooring because I made a major measuring error.
If it can be done incorrectly the first attempt on this remodeling job, it will. The only consolation is that what has finally been completed looks great and I am very pleased.

All of you midwesterners will nod when I say that this weather roller coaster, although normal, is considerably depressing. We had piles of snow up until a couple of weeks ago and then the last 2 days have reached highs in the 70's. This morning it was below 30 in some areas nearby and either over an inch of rain or icey rain, depending on if you were at the freezing temps yet. There's an old wives tale that we still get 3 snowfalls AFTER the Forsythia bush blooms and guess what, it's not even close to blooming yet. Blech. We all love our seasons changing around here but we are never more ready for a new season than we are in March.

All the seeds and starter supplies are out at Lowe's and Home Depot and it makes me drool. I want to beef up my herb bed that Matty made me on the side of the house and work harder on the veggie garden this year. Yum, Yum.

I am feeling kind of funny today. Kind of twingey around Eggbert(a) and funny, shooting pains in my neck. I am sure I am fine and it's just the end of a long week of sitting at a computer but it did cross my mind that my new insurance doesn't kick in till the 19th and that bites.

It is so good to be back at CK catching up on all my friends!! I really missed you all and I am so glad that I got back into blogging. I can't play as much on the site, but I like to keep a personal journey that maybe one day my children can laugh at. Ha ha.

Hugs to all!
