TWTW - the one with the reckoning

Friday night fuck it allllll, fatassery, and messy nails (OPI Suzi & the Arctic Fox with Dutch Ya Just Love OPI ring fingers). I should have waited to take a pic until I cleaned off the edges but the world is an imperfect place and so are my nails right after I get finished painting them.

Saturday I hit Redner's and Produce Junction early and put my fall shit out for the first time in two years. MFD cleaned out the front and re-mulched and potted mums that will die this week like they always do. He just has to put the lights out front and we'll be set. I guess I should also get candy for Halloween. I also did a bunch of other shit around the house before 1 pm like cleaning out all the spaces shit has piled up in as we treat this house like a way station in between our time at the shore most weeks. Saturday afternoon was spent at Shady Brook Farm where I ran a work event. It was hot as fuck but a good time. 

A quick stop home to feed the dogs and change then off to the 17th Annual Welcoming the Stranger International Dinner as guests of our friends from McCarthy Real Estate. What a great organization. And for the dinner, people make food from their countries to share with everyone. So good. I ate so much and had to be rolled home. Stacey and Ever stopped by to meet Bruce Springsteen after so he bit other people for a change. 

Praise Jesus I slept eight hours and forgot we even had a puppy. My mom came to visit with A&S bagels and bakery goods, and I spent Sunday doing yard work a little at a time every time I went out with the dogs so it wasn't as painful as it usually is, laundry, food prep, purging various hidey holes around the house, hanging with the dogs, watching Parks & Rec for the zillionth time, and reading.

Weekly food prep: breakfast is ham and cheese egg bake with some everything bagel dust in there; lunch is creamy tomato spinach pasta; dinners are french dip with brussels sprouts and mushrooms and baked chicken breasts with mashed sweet potatoes and roasted zucchini if I need it. We'll be out a few times this week. Snacks are honey crisp apples and cherry and vanilla noosa yogurt.

Why was it the one with the reckoning? When you are away every weekend there is a lot of little shit that does not get done. You know what your yard looks like when you don't do yard work? The yard at Sanford & Son. So when you're home you have to do it and it's not that fun.

The other stuff was fun though, so it evens out. How was yours?
