HAPPY HOMEMAKER MONDAY with MENU LINKS & PLANS week 43 of 2022

Doing Happy Homemaker Monday, EVERY MONDAY, loyally for all these years and so extensively helps keep me on track of my daily life as it summarizes the past week and lays out a fairly concise plan for the current week.

Be sure to join us for Happy Homemaker Monday and link up with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

Good morning dear ladies. Welcome to my little corner of blogland. As we get this new week, the last week of October going and the holidays are on the radar, I’m really getting excited this year. I’m not sure why I’m so excited, but I am and I’m really looking forward to the decorating mostly. I just love the cozy feel of candle light, Christmas tree lights…

The Fall/Winter weather is here… Layering, flannel, cozy, socks and sweaters… 😀

We went from highs in the 70’s to the 40’s literally in just a few hours! Hubby was prepping the garden beds for winter when the first BIG storm of the year blew in. We had it all – wind, hard sideways rain, hail… ALL AT ONCE!

I’m trying a small cup of coffee and some oatmeal this morning.

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS
  • LAUNDRY & CLEANING Had to turn the heat on so I’ve been doing a deep clean getting ready for the holiday season.
  • GROCERIES & ERRANDS I’ve inventoried the freezer and pantry so have very few things to pick up, but will head into town on Friday for those few things. I started a separate tote with the ingredients I’ll need for the 2 Eagles dinners I’ll be preparing as well as the ingredients I’ll need for the raffle basket and appetizer I’m putting together for a Scholarship Fund event.
  • PAPERWORK, PHONE CALLS & PROJECTS I’ll be working on some things today and tomorrow in organizing and sorting some things.
  • RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING I promised hubby we’d end October on an easy note while I’ve been deep cleaning so will readdress this category next month.

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV
  • NETFLIX – We started watching “THE WATCHER” based on the true story of 657 Boulevard and are 3 episodes in and we are in season 14 of NCIS.
  • CABLE – There are a few shows that I’ve already written off for the season and am happy about that and then I added a couple more this past week. I still have my favorite though. I’m getting the DVR caught up. COOKING SHOWS – Halloween Wars, The Big Bake, Halloween Baking, Halloween Cookies, Guy’s Game Night, Bobby’s Triple Threat COMEDIES Young Sheldon, Ghosts, So Help me Todd (not sure about this one yet) POLICE/DRAMAS NCIS series – regular, LA and Hawaii, Chicago series – Med, Fire and PD, Blue Bloods, FBI series – regular, Most Wanted and International, Law & Order series – regular and SVU, Rookie, The Resident, New Amsterdam, The Good Doctor  SYFY/FANTASY – Quantum Leap, La Brea, The Walking Dead REALITY – Amazing Race

I should finish Adrift tonight and need to choose a new book for tomorrow.

Last year we had so much rain that the water stood on the plastic creating a real mess, so this year he mounded the dirt to prevent that. I commented on how it looked he’d buried a body. Yesterday, trying to be cute, he added this cute little headstone.

Hello my wonderful friend ♥

I too am ready for Christmas and I think as soon as November arrives, I’m going in hahahah

Your menu…..your menuuuuuu. I always leave here starving and drooling.

I am also watching The Watcher, mainly because I already knew about the true story for years, so was quite curious as to how the show would go.

Have a blessed week,
Sandra

I’m not sure I’m quite ready for Christmas decorating (just put up my fall stuff it seems) but I am ready for the cozy feel of the house. Funny headstone in the garden beds! I’ve yet to clean up all our garden stuff. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!

I hope your week is getting easier. LOL 😀 I’m just an eclectic mix of Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.

YEP, blustery describes how “winter” has arrived. We did reach almost 50 today, but with constant rain and a slight breeze so I’m not holding out much hope for a return to fall. 😀 And I’m secretly glad it’s sweater and lots of layers weather 😀 Have a good week my friend.

Hello my Lovely!!
I’m with you and love the Christmas lights and those decorations so much. Yet, I do love my Fall ones too because they match my home so perfectly. Not too many leaves still sticking around – blustery today! Sounds like you got the blustery too- geesh! The garden beds and headstones literally made me Lol
My daughter is watching The Watcher too and likes it. May have to check it out
Love your inspiration as always. Blessings on your week ahead. xoxo
