| G'morning, glories! |
Thank to y'all who played along at the 'Watercooler.' I enjoyed your responses! So, some of you asked, what would be my choice?
Well, given that I LOVE murder mysteries and travel by ship -- it's a toss-up between 'The Girl in Cabin 10' and 'Death on the Nile.'
Our week's been largely uneventful -- but like the young grocery cashier remarked yesterday, "I'm feeling blessed that I woke up this morning, I've a good job, a roof over my head and food on my table." Wow.
I suspect today may be one of the longest 12-hour stretches ever. We saved a few hundred dollars by ordering a dishwasher from Amazon -- but they've only promised delivery "between 8am and 8pm." Why Amazon?
Don't get me started on Home Depot's non-customer service. (Yep, I'm naming names.) The model we expected to be delivered last Friday never materialized because the sales lady transposed our street address. (No-one bothered to call.) They promised delivery Monday, but when that got postponed to Tuesday, 'someone' marched down and demanded his refund. In cash! (Go, Tom!)
Because Tom and I normally eat different kinds of meals (sometimes at different times) I was surprised and delighted when, after only 3 days, he asked if I'd make another quiche. He.Who.Dislikes.Eating.the.Same.Thing.Twice.In.a.Row ... go figure!
Because it's ridiculously easy, if anyone's interested, here's the low-carb recipe:
1 lb. ground breakfast sausage, browned
8 oz cubed cream cheese (I zap it in the microwave for easier blending)
6 jumbo eggs
1 c. heavy cream
1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
6 oz. bag fresh baby spinach
Combine everything and pour in a greased 13 x 9 baking dish.
Bake at 350* for 40 minutes, then
let rest for 10-15 min.
Pondering ...
My Lists.
Way back in 2008, one of my first-ever blog posts went something like this:
As part of the Life History (journaling) classes I once enjoyed, our facilitator urged the class to compile Lists of 100. "Write quickly, repeat as often as necessary and write whatever comes to mind."
For instance?
100 Things That Bring Me Joy
100 Things That Turn Me Off
100 Things I Miss
100 Things I'll Never Do Again
100 Bucket List Ideas
While I'm sure that works well for some, I prefer to ponder. Savor.
(No, I've yet to reach 100 in any category.)
Longer than an elevator speech, yes ... but how telling!
Amusing, too, when I went back to the Bucket List I published the next year. Silly improbable dreams! Like my fantasy to sit astride a (racing) thoroughbred. My ever-helpful BF who suggested we put a quarter in the mechanical pony at WalMart. She volunteered. "I'll stand in front and throw mud in your face." What a gal!
🙃
Okay, while you're making lists (lol), I'm getting another cup of coffee. And wait for the big truck.
Hugs, Myra
