Good morning sweet ladies, and a very happy Monday to you all.
It is just past 7am, Curt has left for work, and I am sitting in bed sipping coffee that has already gone cold. Might need to heat it up soon.
We had a pretty good weekend, Saturday the four of us went downtown for lunch at Red Robin, then the plan was to get some Christmas shopping done, but we ended up at the Axe Throwing place, at the mall. My husband had gone with his coworkers and really enjoyed it, and wanted to take us as well. That's what we ended up doing, and I must say, it was so much fun. We can't wait to go back.
Yesterday was more laid back, church in the morning and then just a lazy relaxing Sunday.
I hope you've all had a good weekend.
I wish you all a blessed, wonderful week ahead. Now, are you ready to see what's happening around our homes?

♥♥ The Weather ♥♥
I think this coming week, we can finally say we are done with hot weather. I couldn't believe that we were still hitting 80s and 70s. Aside from rain today, looks like a pretty dry week ahead but looking at some cold temps too (well cold for us here in Texas).
♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥
As always, sitting on my bed, still in my pajamas, typing up this post. The babies are asleep next to me, I'm listening to a podcast on the TV as well.
♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥
Christmas. I still haven't compiled a list of what I need to do or when I'm doing it. I need to work on that this week.
♥♥ How am I feeling ♥♥
I am feeling pretty good, although, I was wondering my arms and back hurt a little today. Then hubby reminded me of the axe throwing. Hahahah Yep, that will do it. Honestly, it was a workout, we were all sweating and hot halfway into it.
♥♥ Listening to ♥♥
♥♥ On the breakfast plate ♥♥
Just a cup of coffee at the moment, with Caramel Machiatto creamer. I'm thinking oatmeal for breakfast, as it's rainy and a bit cold.
♥♥ On the lunch plate ♥♥
I have been craving a Portuguese Tuna salad. Tuna, chickpeas, boiled egg, onion, garlic, olive oil and vinegar, with some parsley sprinkled on. Yes, think that is what I am in the mood for.
♥♥ On the dinner plate ♥♥
Creamy Sausage Tortellini Soup, Grilled Cheese and Tomato Sandwiches
♥♥ On my TV this week ♥♥
We finished Picard, and have now started The Expanse. Hopefully it's good as well, as there are 6 seasons.
♥♥ On the menu ♥♥
♥♥ Looking around the house ♥♥
Nick is currently redoing his bedroom, and giving it a deep clean, so he pulled everything out into my dining room. I can say that I love that he is cleaning his bedroom, but I have twitchy eyes just seeing mattresses, shelves, and boxes in my dining room. It needs to be put away ASAP, before I have a conniption of sorts Hahahah
♥♥ To Do List ♥♥

It's still pretty dark out, so I can't see much at all, other than my solar lights hanging on the gazebo.

My pretty winter pajamas. They are so comfy. I have this obsession with pajamas and slippers. Everyone knows if they can't think of what to get me for birthdays or Christmas, a set of pajamas and some comfy slippers is perfect.

I bought two books for myself, for Christmas. I can't wait to read them. First though, I am wrapping them and placing them under the tree, because by the time Christmas rolls around, I'll forget what is under there hahahha

I am really looking forward to this new devotional. I received it for a review, and I'm so thankful for it, because I usually buy two new devotionals at the end of the year, to begin in January.

I finished the orange garland, hung one up on the fireplace and another on the Christmas tree.
Still working on the Charlotte's Dream blanket. I decided to make different colored squares and then join them all together with grey.

I made it!!! I missed last week and was so sad about that. I love this part of my day, joining in the fun and reading others' blogs.
ReplyDeleteYEP!! Ax throwing will do it. I am sure doing that you worked muscles you didn't know you had.....lol. I love that feeling :)
I am so glad you are all better, too.
Your menu, as always, sounds so yummy!
Have a wonderful day...Happy Monday 🤍

Enjoyed reading your post this morning (early afternoon now, I guess). The ax throwing sounds fun. Ha, I do that, too. I'll be wondering why something hurts and then, my husband will remind me what activity (like trying to start the lawn mower in the spring/summer) I did that probably caused it. Hope you have a wonderful week! And thanks for the Christmas movie/program list. I have some of the same ones on my list but see some new ones as well.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a great menu. I'm still trying to catch up laundry after a busy weekend. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHello my Lovely! We have a local axe throwing place too and I look forward to trying it some time. It's good to know it's fun. ;) I totally relate with the eye twitch thing with the kiddo deep cleaning and stuff everywhere. Annie will soon be on break and doing some things similar. Lol I hope you have a very blessed week ahead. Christmas is coming so soon!!!
ReplyDelete2 weeks in a row !! Kinda proud of this LOL, 2023 is right around the corner with lots to do for everyone! Deep, Deep cleaning will happen for me after Christmas...I think..I hope !
ReplyDeleteAxe throwing? yep, that must make your arms ache. I love A Little Princess.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
What is the Victoria Christmas Special? Is that Series 2, Episode 7 "Comfort & Joy"?
