HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY week 37 of 2017

Oh my I can’t believe it’s Monday again already! I hope you had a great week/weekend.  We are personally back to normal after Hurricane Harvey, but so many aren’t including our house/dog sitter who unfortunately lost her car, her job and house was flooded during the hurricane.  She’ll be here this week to “regroup” while waiting on materials for new walls and floors at her house. She’s on a waiting list to get a rental car – there just aren’t enough to go around!

My tests and surgery have been pushed out 6 weeks after being canceled during the hurricane.  While I’m not happy about this because of the way it is affecting my life, I do understand what a scheduling nightmare it would be to push everyone out 2 weeks to accommodate everyone that was canceled.

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

We’re enjoying some milder weather finally.  Unfortunately it is because of the Florida situation so I would take the heat and humidity back to save all those people from what they are going through.

ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE

We made coffee to go, but will grab something on the road after we get out of the morning traffic.

AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE & WEEKLY TO DO LIST & HOUSE PROJECTS

  • LAUNDRY… washer is having an issue so will have lots of loads to do next week
  • ALL LIVING AREAS… perfect! I did a deep clean before the house sitter got here.
  • YARD… NOTHING! New seeds have begun to come up and is looking good.
  • BLOG… still doing some recipe updating and planning for future posts.

CURRENTLY READING & TELEVISION / DVR

  • READING – I seem to fall asleep after just a paragraph or 2 – Ava Miles #5 Dare Valley – The TOWN SQUARE

The new season is finally about to start.  I do have some cooking shows to clean up on the DVR, but there are plenty of things still going on:

  • ZOO
  • THE STRAIN
  • SALVATION
  • NIGHT SHIFT
  • MIDNIGHT TEXAS
  • CHESAPEAKE SHORES
  • AMERICA’S GOT TALENT
  • GUY’S GROCERY GAMES
  • Guy’s Family Road Trip
  • Great FOOD TRUCK race
  • MASTER CHEF – there are some interesting characters left this season and some I can’t wait to see go – hint hint JEFF still HAS TO GO!

ON MY MIND / THINGS THAT ARE MAKING ME HAPPY

There are so many things going on EVERYWHERE right now that I am just praying for the world and our country to level out and be still for awhile! This kind of comically sums it up though.

Glad you are back to normal around there but sorry you have to wait once again on your tests. Sorry to hear about your house sitter’s situation and so many others as well. Oh no, you are a member of the can’t stand Jeff fan club as well? I don’t mind him although I can see he doesn’t have the skills to win. It really bothered me the way that one contestant was speaking to him during that team challenge though calling him bad luck and such, found it very disrespectful. I thought someone who worked as a counselor would show more respect toward others. Having not watched the show perhaps I missed something in an earlier episode? Hope you have a great week!

Thanks. I agree she was quite disrespectful to Jeff on the last episode (she’s on my need to go list too). Jeff has consistently been a bit arrogant and disrespectful to Gordon quite early on which put him on my list to lose early on. Have a great week!

Hey Sweetie!! Continued prayers about the tests. It must be such a nightmare getting everything back in order after something like a hurricane. I have been praying for all of those affected as well! It seems like our current President had to just go and say something like he doesn’t believe in climate change issues – to have God say “Guess again Pal!” Lol

Hope you have a blessed week ahead Tamy. xoxo

QuiltLady

Thank you my friend. I’m a BIG believer in everything being cyclic and not necessarily man made climate change, just naturally occurring climate change. Plus we just had that solar eclipse a few days before Hurricane Harvey so maybe the solar, lunar pulls had some effect also? Have a great week.
