The Kitchen Table

Good afternoon!

6 years ago

43 degrees this morning. I feel bad for the kids, because it's supposed to be cold tomorrow too when they trick or treat. Lauren and I are going to the movies to see Geostorm shortly. Waiting for Alex to get here too, he left early evening yesterday. Lauren left San Diego and it was 90 she said the other day. Here it's down in the 30s in the early morning. Wish we were both in San Diego! Hope you all have a great day!

Nothing worse than having the cutest tutu ever, and having to cover it up with a sweater.

I have a sinus headache and sore throat so will be sleeping a lot today. It's supposed to be cold and rainy for Halloween so I doubt we'll have many trick or treaters. On the plus side, I can wear my Absolem caterpillar costume. It's usually too hot to wear it here.

Hi Kath, sort of rainy here today too and not too warm either. I am just doing kitchen work, cleaning out seldom used stuff out of cabinets and running it through the dishwasher and then deciding what I want to keep in the house! So far, that is about all I have done except for the meals. Might color some this afternoon not sure yet.Hope you feel better soon PK. Enjoy your day everyone.

Hubs has a plastic bin ( no lid) that has his winter work shirts in the back of his clothes closet. I had my son pull it out for me so I could run the clean shirts thru the washer since they've been stored all summer. I pulled the shirst out snd O-M-G. I found Acorns...about 2 cups worth. RODENT ALERT. I have no idea how it got into the closet but we do live in a wooded area. I removed all the hanging clothes and everything else. Son layed plastic on the floor and set a mouse trap. Its probably a field mouse storing food for the winter but I have a news flash for it ...its not living in my house. Than I got to thinking I hope its not a squirrel or chipmunk. This gives me the creeps. I'm sure I'll be seeing little beady eyes looking at me all night tonight. This is probably stupid but do I need to worry about it no matter what kind it is getting into the boys beds while they sleep?? Should I stand guard? I haven't told the boys because I don't want them worrying.

Good afternoon :-) Great find Nicole. DH brings not very exciting stuff home for me like fence material and things like that. Much appreciated but not very fancy even though it is free :-) he gets it on his job sites. When they are throwing stuff away they ask him if he wants it. I'm here having pizza with my husband. well sort of. he got a business call so I'm talking to you. My view outside the window is one of a traditional Vancouver gray rainy day. You can see me often with whole over layer of wool, hat, gloves, sweater, with a down vest,. Also a thin Merino wool underlayer which you can't see of course, and wool socks. I walk dogs as part of my living so wool keeps me warm even when I'm wet. I have to go and make a call about my accounting software today yuck. Then it's time to make chicken curry dinner. Happy Thursday all :-).

My mil is visiting and my husband took the day off work. Us three and my two daughters went out for lunch at Jason's Deli and then to see Murder on the Orient Express. The movie was just so-so. Came home, made supper, played lots of different card games. Prepped all my veggies, boiled eggs and made my mashed potatoes ahead of time to bake tomorrow. I also made my list of times and temperatures to bake stuff tomorrow. My mil gives my kids personal items when they turn 21. My son got a Harvard rocking chair last year when we were at her house and today she gave my daughter a beautiful diamond necklace. She has some papers she wanted me and dh to look at, so now I know what my youngest dd will be getting from her when she turns 21. She has almost exactly 2 years to go, since she will be turning 19 tomorrow.

I printed a stack of these & ran them over to the property manager. I have this ONE tenant that says there's nothing in the lease keeping her from specifically flushing tampons or disinfectant wipes. Having ALL the tenants initial one of these now......

I meant when I was a little little kid, but it turned into a cute pun on the thread.

It was cool and windy this morning. However, I rode out with my latest cycling guest.

Not truly looking forward to Halloween. I truly dislike cold, and will have to wear fleece undergarments to stay warm. I accepted in invitation that has been open for me for a long time (several years) and will drive over tomorrow no matter what. I hope, fun will be had by all.

Hope you get over that sinus and sore throat PK, I had it Sunday but today I feel pretty good.

It sure was cold here today, then it rained in the afternoon. I didn't do a thing but sit on the sofa wrapped in a throw reading or doing a crossword or daydreaming out the window. Honestly - a totally wasted day. I had planned to plant flower bulbs but there was no way I was digging in the dirt today. Thursday looks better at 68 degrees.

I worked my tutu off today. Honestly I have no idea where all the dust comes from. The base of the TV in the family room is shiney black and OMG it was so dusty. I thought to myself shame on you Mama what if someone happened to drop by and saw your pig pen..than I remembered outside of my kids no one visits. Lol. So it was a long day of housework. Than during dinner clean up I thought I really should scrub the frig out but decided to save it for morning. I have some deep cleaning I'd like to get done before the holidays providing I can find the energy which isnt looking very promising.
