Now that I'm on a confession roll.. I also didn't make my bed today. (Even though I get on the boys everyday for not making theirs.) And I ate an organic turkey burger last night for dinner. (I couldn't help it, I'm allergic to everything and am beginning to starve. It was an act of desperation.) I also bought some steak at Whole Foods. Caffeine and meat.. oh how far I've fallen. I might need a to do a juice fast and a have a good old fashioned deliverance soon.
And speaking of little old women, see those birds on the table in the photo below? The word on the street is that I'm a collector of birds and nests, and although the gifts are lovely and much appreciated, I am running out of space! I'm going to have to buy a curio cabinet like the one my late grandma Loader had, only hers was filled with miniature boots. I actually wouldn't mind a pretty antique French country style one though..
See?? I AM practically 80! Maybe it's time I embrace "granny chic".
To deal with the rain this week, we picked up several new books and DVD's from the library to snuggle up with on the couch. And although I have to confess that most childrens music annoys me, I really love Elizabeth Mitchell's sweet voice and gentle songs.
Sigh.. wish I could climb back under the covers now and read, but I have hungry bellies waiting. Appropriately enough, I am making Seitan stir-fry for dinner. :)
Hope y'all have a good evening!
I'm total coffee addict... wow, I didn't know people could get asthma attack from drinking coffee. Maybe some tea? I'm also tea addict, drink about 5-6 different kinds daily.
ReplyDeleteI so relate to you about dinner... got hungry bellies waiting.
:) You make me laugh! Sorry your back is out of wack again. You sound like me. I love flip flops. And I am a recovering vegitarian as well. haha. I was vegitarian for years and converted back to omnivore after getting married. I am allergic to most everything and my doctor said I was severly anemic and scrawney and had mystery bruises to prove it. The huge scary purple ones. That old people get. And coffee gives me anxiety attacks so I can't drink it.
ReplyDeletedong dong- tea has the same effect on me, think it's the caffeine. Good to know I'm not alone though. :)
ReplyDeleteMolly- I can't get over how much alike we are. I have anxiety attacks too and am also anemic. I have to take iron pills. We should start an old people with health and mental problems club.. lol.
Duuuuuuuude, don't feel bad about the caffeine...you are a mama. It's how we do what we do. As far as the meat thing, I was a veg. for a long time, but never felt I had the energy to go through the day no matter how much protein I supplemented with beans/nuts/tofu etc. I'm preferring now to eat like my grandmothers...good meat (when we can afford/find it) fish, simple vegetables,etc. Real butter makes its way in that equation as well...
ReplyDeleteI figure why make my bed if we're just going to snuggle there for books at naptime! and coffee, it's just so good. end of story. Stir-Fry sounds good, thanks, I needed an idea for dinner, enjoy :0)
ReplyDeleteWe all fall off the wagon on occasion. Psst...I didn't make my bed this morning either.
ReplyDeleteOh, and, we are totally hooked on Elizabeth Mitchell around here!
ahhhh..it is nice to know I am not the only one! sometimes I feel like I have to get all the chores done and the house should be neat since I'm at home but some days the beds are unmade and the dishes are in the sink, but the coffee pot is always empty! (since it is all in my tummy) Oh yeah....I am a HUGE carnivore. Mama likes her meat. Especially when pregnant! :)
ReplyDeletePS- i have an awesome turkey burger recipe if you want it. sun dried tomatoes, fresh basil.....mmmmmm!
ReplyDeletethat's me: coffee, meat, not making the bed :)
