Today is a great day, cause I don't have to worry about what to make for dinner! My in-laws are taking us out for Chinese food to celebrate (slightly belated) our anniversary. I am also happy because last night my Hubby (we can call him Jeff, cause that's his name) cut the grass, sharpened my gardening edger....and cooked dinner!! Yes I took pictures; sheesh, wouldn't you have? It was like winning the sweepstakes I tell ya:)
Home from work!
He cuts grass!
He flexes!
He cooks! Why do men fry stuff without their shirts on? It can only end badly:(
I must say, that Jeff is a great cook, especially with leftovers. I like to cook, but not every night, and I get so tired of thinking up ideas for dinner. My idea of a great dinner, is oatmeal, and toast, with a huge bowl of brown sugar. Although I love to bake, and love to cook bigger meals for company, its not quite the same when cooking for just the two of us. Mind you, Jeff is always appreciative of whatever I serve, even if he has to choke it down. Course, that why he has to work out at the YMCA four days a week now...the belly is putting him further and further away from the table and he's afraid that if it keeps growing he won't be able to reach his plate. BTW, that was slightly exaggerated for the post, just slightly!
I am spending the morning on the computer, making a list of hotels and phone numbers for the family, so that they can find us while we are away. I have become so used to 'instant' contact via the Internet, facebook, emails, IM, land line phones, and the cell phone, that I get panicky if I don't have access to everything! We will need an extra suitcase on our trip just for the chargers and adapters for all of the techno gadgets that I 'have' to have near me. My son Jake was good enough to lend me his laptop so that I can charge the GPS, and upload pics to webshots at night in the hotel. Must remember to put my bookmarks onto my page at Yahoo. I can also check my emails while doing my charging. Heck, we even bought a soft sided cooler that plugs into our lighter outlet in the car, and we bought an adapter that allows us to plug it into a regular outlet at night! Much easier, and safer than trying to keep things cold with that old fashioned ice:)
Well, back to my lists.....this will take a while, as I have my desk covered in paper. I just remembered that I have to go and pick up my Triptik (detailed maps) from CAA today as well. Besides using the GPS, we will have our maps from CAA and regular maps that you unfold. If Jeff gets us lost, it wont be because of me.
Hope that everyone is safe from the storms that have been hitting us in North America. It is raining here again, and I can hear thunder rumbling....
I'll leave you with a pic of our Passion flower plant! Also, Jacque, the red/burgandy flower pic from yesterday is a Purple Ninebark, and this is the first time that it has flowered for me!

Oh, Trudy, you are such a hoot!! This blog entry has had me rolling on the floor laughing. Your hubby 'Jeff' is such a good sport to let you take pictures of him like this. My DH always wears at least a Tee shirt to cover up with and if I took a picture of him shirtless, he'd be mortified!!
ReplyDeleteI'll tell ya....some day, some how, I'm just going to have to meet you. You've made my very slooowww recovery so much more pleasant with your blog.
JoJo
Aw, thanks JoJo.
ReplyDeleteActually, I don't think my hubby realized that I was putting them on my blog, although he did watch me. I think that he was happy that I didn't put them on Facebook.
Jeff hardly ever goes bare chested either, thats why I HAD to make it a Kodak moment:)
We will plan a 'face to face' meet someday for sure, I think that we have a landscaping date somewhere down the road..don't we?
I am so glad that I could bring a smile to your face, I know that you are having a challenging time right now, and thats what friends are for:)
this is so fun! (and your flowers are gorgeous :>)
ReplyDeleteHee hee!! This post cracked me up! I'm the same as you when it comes to cooking. I live alone, and I had all these great plans to learn how to cook and that I was going to cook a healthy dinner every single night. HA....I don't think I've made dinner for just myself since I moved into this place two years ago!! I love to try and cook when I have friends over, and I love to makes sweets, like banana bread.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are very pretty! I'm kind of sad because a few of my indoor plants seem to be dying, and because I'm new to "gardening" I don't know if it's because they need more water or if it's too hot or what. Hopefully I can revive them.
Hugs,
Michele
