We had places to be and things to do....just the usual but it all got done.
1. Haircut moved up a couple days.....
2. Library to drop off books and pick one up...usual day is Friday
3. Grocery to select items for the Birthday Dinner...Eggplant Parm...
4. I changed my mind from the dinner we thought we'd make. Pot Roast.
5. We got the CAKE.......and some ice cream.
That's really all I need....Cake, Candles- and Ice Cream....Bars...
Now to watch Antiques Roadshow.....
1. No art today as I don't have anything waiting....or ready.
2. Things are quiet here and I have been reading my books (re-reading favorites) and watching Antiques Roadshow episodes....there is just something soothing about that show and old favorite books.
3. I have watched NO NEWS. I read the morning paper and that is enough.
4. I did sort thru some cloth strips over to the LEFT of where I sit and read and watch tv. Considering a new square as the ones I have set up to sew- I don't really like............ I even sorted thru the odd leftover fabric bin. Came away with a few items.
5. Just finished reading Things You Save In A Fire by Center. I've read it many times before...it still is a good book. I might go thru the bookcase and pull all the Jane Austin Read-a- likes..... and work thru them as sort of a birthday gift to myself. I have enough to get to Friday and the Library visit. I don't have any reserved. Which is never a good thing. I might have to make a list......
6. A new look at the star constellations and I might be a Leo on the cusp rather than a Virgo. Everything Old is New Again.....
7. Hair cut tomorrow...and purchase of Birthday Cake and Ice Cream. I'm thinking about NOT making the Pot Roast.....just eating the left over Pasta I made.....which is a very nice meal....usually eaten while watching TV. Nothing new in that since, while married, I usually ate alone OR in front of the TV.
8. Was I actually married??????? That's a very important question.
9. I am preparing to read my way thru Jane Austin themes written by modern authors. I will research it on the internet to see if there are ones I haven't read as yet...if not- then the old ones will do.
1. The NYTimes had something about horoscopes....or really what sign you are born under...I am on the cusp of Leo as Time Goes By....more so than the Virgo I always was as the constellations move and change. Both my children are Leo. Perhaps this is why nothing feels familiar anymore. Not Virgo. I'll start reading the Leo horoscope with breakfast from now on.
2. Yesterday's Pizza was excellent and the football wasn't too awful.... then I finished reading my book.
3. Haven't chosen a book for today as yet...hoping for some Antiques Roadshow on PBS. They continue to Fundraise (weekends) selling the same stuff they sold 10 or 20 years ago.... same cookbooks, same tapes and cd's. I imagine the fundraising was actually recorded (decades ago) and they just hit the play button and everyone stays home.and off the payroll.
4. I haven't selected a book to read as yet. For today. I might read book one in the three book Lottery Winning series...I liked the characters very much. Or Charm City Rocks.....I do love that book. And I might find a CD in the box over yonder with piano music.....The guy in Charm City plays the piano..and I could listen while I read.
The "eyes" seem to be noticing the nose running ........
1. Sunday Pizza. And yes, the pasta was delicious. and plenty more......in the fridge.
2. Reading and watching British Soccer took up most of the day. I finished eating my cold fried chicken nuggets. I tried to watch a Hallmark Movie but after 15 minutes I was done......even with fast forwarding.
3. I snagged a few images of "Make Ahead" breakfast ideas...I would actually be eating them for lunch. Breakfast will always be oatmeal or shredded wheat for me. And even though I like the idea of a fried or poached egg with a runny yolk---there is not ANYway those items will be made at home....by me.
4. Electric Bill. Even higher without the AC units running. How odd is that??????
5. I also got my WHOPPING property tax bill. More like buy a new CAR. And giving it to the Town. Every year.
6. Watched three British Soccer Matches....also watched the fans get up and walk out mid game as it wasn't going as they had hoped.......yep whole sections of the seats- empty. I'd seen it happen, infrequently, with US Football Games....but not like that. And not even half time.
7. Well, I have my book to read....and wait for the lovely last page......where it ends like every Hallmark movie ever made. Whomever left...comes back. Perhaps in my Next Life someone will come back for me.
