Did you guys hear the angels singing on Friday morning to herald the arrival of my niece Lola Jean? She's pretty and snuggly and precious and all around too perfect for social media. MFD and I rushed off to see her Friday night after work.
Since Lola's Friday arrival was likely, I moved my grocery delivery from Friday night to 6 a.m. Saturday morning. Why is Peapod always late except when I schedule a 6 a.m. delivery? Since I was up I went to see my niece again for some one on one time, picked up the dogs' Halloween costumes at Target, and came home to do some food prep - a double batch of power breakfast muffins and chicken bacon rice soup for Saturday dinner and this week's lunches. I also made a cherry pie. Hashtag not a baker.
I started a new book and we watched Cowspiracy on Netflix. At first I thought it was another one of MFD's bizarre television programs but it turned out to be really interesting and thought provoking.
I did not want to get up Sunday morning, but alas there was adulting to be done. I made a triple batch of turkey burgers with spinach and goat cheese and hard boiled eggs. This week's breakfasts are multi-grain english muffins with PB and a hard boiled egg for breakfasts; soup and carrots for lunch; apples for snacks; turkey tenderloin with steamed asparagus and mashed sweet potatoes and salads for dinners.
Michelle's baby shower was in the afternoon, it was a lovely day with fun ladies and good food and a little bib painting. Debbie's bib makes me laugh as it was supposed to be poop happens but spacing didn't happen and it became poop happy complete with emoji. I can't wait to meet Michelle & Bob's little girl!
After that I took some of the power breakfast muffins and turkey burgers over to Stephen & Aubrey's to kiss on my niece for a few minutes.
And of course, these three...they would not go outside in Friday's monsoons. Mae was a grouch all weekend because she was cold, Gus was pissed because I wouldn't let him eat the candy for Michelle's shower, and Geege was his best boy self as always.
Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to chronicle Yellowstone. Today I'm wishing the fabulous Aunt Carrie a very happy birthday.
Meanwhile back at the ranch more than half of what I wanted to get done this weekend remains not done. I could use another weekend day. How about you?
Tell me something good about your weekend!
