Happy Monday,

Had a great weekend, did a little shopping and cleaned (FINALLY) cleaned the way I like things, put up some pictures, laundry all done and folded...ahhh feels good. I don't know about anyone else but when my house is messy (which it is ALOT) I feel crapy, but when its clean and clutterless I feel good. I didn't do any baking which is good for me.

I did however cook for the first time some spagetti squash. Okay now I have this stuff in my fridge what do I do with it lololol.

How was your weekend ?

See you later.

Love Leenie

Hi Leens;
I also feel terrible when my house is a mess which is a lot of the time.
I remember cooking spaghetti squash along time ago, it's good, but I can't remember what I put on it, I guess you'll need to experiment and maybe come up with something new and different :
Well, Take Care
EveryoneHave a good week,be

LadyPal
xxoo to everyone.

I did nothing! IT RAINED!!! Yuk! I had to bring my car in to be repaired and got a rental it is defintly not my kind of car. I stayed inside most of the weekend b/c of the rain. I did watch the Saints lose though. How horrible was that. Is everyone getting ready for Hallowween? I hope lots of kids stop by so I can give out all of the candy that we bought. I want none left in the house.

Leenie Leenie.. I can't believe you already forgot my spaghetti squash recipe. Here it is:

Saute some red, white or yellow onion in olive oil ( or water or broth even will work). Add some garlic if you like. Saute til onion is slightly browned.

Chop up a tomato or two, add them to the onion. Cook just until the tomatoes are warm. Remove from heat. Add some fresh chopped basil to this.

Scrape the spaghetti squash from the rind into the pan.. it should make long spaghetti like strands. Put the pan back on the heat and heat until the squash is warm. Remove from heat. Toss in some feta cheese, mozzarella, parmesan.. whatever tickles your fancy. Mix this all up and serve. MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm good. I end up adding some garlic salt to this when I eat it, but boy oh boy is this good!!

Hello to LadyPal and Kem.

I didn't do much this weekend, which is fine by me. Saturday was my catch up on my sleep with an afternoon nap day. I did some chores this weekend.. cleaned kitchen thouroughly, swept and mopped the grody kitchen and dining room room floors, tided up living room, did some recaulking of some tile ( this didn't go very well.. I am going to tape off stuff next time) and I polished all my copper. This may sound weird, but I love polishing the copper.. it is so relaxing and you see immediate results. I made my homemade lean pockets, some chicken and a zippy zucchini casserole. I also did a little laundry, played with the kittycat and yapped on the computer. Back at the old grind at work today...

I got up and did my exercises this morning, as usual. It is nicer that it isn't quite as dark in the morning. Of course it would be nicer if I would exercise as I slept.. I've been slacking off on my evening weight lifting work and I need to get my butt back in gear.. the morning work outs are fine, thank goodness. Maybe now it is getting lighter early, I'll start getting up at 4:45 to exercise... than again maybe not

Linda,
Does the world function at 4:45? I don't think mine would if I tried.

Lady, nice to see you !!! Have a great day

Kem,

I lost my car several years ago in a flash flood (yeah it was horrible) but anyway, I had to go rent a car for a few weeks and I left it up to my husband to pick one out
<--- need I say more.

I am 5'10" so what does he rent for me... a GeoMetro with OUT power steering...I felt like I was in Fred Flintstones car...good thing I was alot thinner because there is no way I would have fit...driving with my knees to my chin was not fun.... well we went to pick it up and when I got in it all Jim did was stand in front of it laughing at me.... Boy did I yell at him..... Truthfully, he really didn't realize how small it was...geeesh. I kept the dang thing for 3 weeks... I should have charged people to ride in it because it was like riding in a go-cart. I'm over it now and I learned my lesson

Linny thanks for the recipie again, I'll definitly cook it up tonight, can't wait.

YUP the world functions at 4:45 am ... thats when I get up

TTYL, Love Me

Kem, I don't think the world functions much worse at 4:45 than it does at 5, which is when I normally get up and start exercising.. yes at 5ish every day of the week. I have this mental block about getting up at 4:45. Pretty soon, I won't be sleeping at all except on Saturday and Sunday.. lol

I am in a really cranky mood this morning. A couple of things seem to have set the tone and I am trying to shake the feeling of wanting to throttle anyone who gives me I am trying to stay alone here in my office..to give the evil *****y gremlins a chance to leave. And no this isnt PMS.. just finished that. God, help me to hold my tongue today.. don't want to dig myself a hole I have to dig myself out of.


Someone tell me a funny story.. please

Hello Everyone!!!

Deep breathes Linda.....recipe sounds great! Similar to what I do. I like the basil touch.

Leens, for another way, just add your already cooked spagetti sauce or as my hubby likes it...with butter and spices like all spice or nutmeg and cinnamon...more of a side dish thingy.

I didn't have a productive weekend...makes me feel so lazy reading your posts!!! Made a few gifts for Christmas, but that was it!!! Need to get moving!

Son and his new bride invited us over for dinner Sunday and that was very nice. Always nice when someone else is cooking and they were very considerate, they had turkey burgers for me and low cal dressings as well as the other fattening stuff. They eat very healthy for the most part...dil is a dietician!!!!

Well, have to get moving, for what I don't know...hubby is away and daughter is away and I am all alone!!!!! Sometimes it is nice, but lately it's been tooooooo much!

Have a great evening, I hate the fact that it is getting dark already!!!!!!!!!! So depressing! Going to put every light on in the house


Take care~~~~~~Meg

Where the heck does the time go?

Well last night went to prayers for a friends father. He died on Thursday eve when girls and I were gone for the weekend. The funeral was today and we had to go check out family pics that we had done...which were horrible, but we got some, cause horrible is how we look I guess .

I didn't get as much done today as I would have liked but I did get the laundry started and the dishes in the dishwasher....it was eggs and toast for supper sorry to say.

Got dd 10 off to Guides Halloween party tonight....it is snowing big fluffy flakes tonight....I am not ready for winter!

Anyhow maybe I will see some of you in the chat tonight....I will be busy folding clothes.

Bye for now.

Elizabeth
