There Goes the Eggs



Vince's father was supposed to take me to the grandparents house after meeting today, but he ended up having to work. This is the one Saturday a month that Vince works 8-4. I was going to go with Vince's father then Vince would come after work, since Vince works in Brooklyn, very close to his grandparents house. So then after his father called we changed and Vince was going to come home and get me. It is about a 2 hour round trip from Vince job, to me and back to Brooklyn. And then he called me and says he has over time. So I don't even know if it will be worth it to go. Especially since today is the last day of Red Lobster having a special on Crab Legs and we wanted to go. Although I have almost 40 eggs made for the day at the grandparents house. :( GRRRRRRR

We've been invited to Vince's grandma's tomorrow. So I boiled some eggs, I'm waiting for them to cool down. I will make deviled eggs AGAIN, lol for my part.

Lost Keys



No cleaning again today! I really need to get with it.

This morning Vince is on the 8-4 shift, and he was looking and looking for his keys. Well, it woke me up and I asked him what was going on, he said he was looking for his keys. This is a daily thing, so I let him continue to look for them. Well he kept on and on. I suggested a few places, and he said he would look there. Still didn't find them, it was getting later and later so I finally got up and decided today he needed my help. (usually he always has to look for them daily, but finds them in about 5 or 10 minutes tops. And yes I have suggested a key holder, we got one and he never uses it!) So finally I was still looking in the apt, and he left, I said where are you going, he said he was going to back track and see if he had dropped them some where-I figured if he had they were long gone. He gets all the way to the truck, looks in and sees he had left them in the ignition!!!!!!!!! He called me and said he found them. This is NYC, the truck is parked on the street, a very busy street at that. I just can't believe we still have a car!

Then I went back to bed, and got up at 12:30 whew I haven't slept that late in a long time.

I also made Caz a sig tag for PLN today.

Favorite Family Recipe



Not much to write about today, we laid around. lol It was Vince's day off.

I did make myself a new sig tag for PLN & I made the bloggin' buddies sign over on the right hand side last night. If any one else would like to send me their linkie to put over there let me know.

Oh and a pretty cool thing I seen today while reading my Southern Living magazine is my step father's mothers Mexican casserole dish recipe! I never knew any one else who made this particular dish as it has some unusual ingredients like cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup in it. Although they said 2 cups of tortilla chips, she always just used a bag of cheese Doritos it was always a big hit with the kids, cause we were allowed to have chips! lol My mom didn't allow much junk food-chips back then, so this was kind of a junk food meal for us. I never knew growing up about the cans of soup in it. lol Till about 3 years ago when my nephews school was making a recipe book and wanted all the students to bring in family recipes, and that was my nephews fathers favorite that grandma made, so I called her up and asked for the recipe and then found out.

Calling



I didn't get the corner done today. I went to Costco and then I was feeling really ill. So I had to rest a while. Then I called Chari, then I called my mother. And now I'm here. lol

Mission



I didn't finish the corner. But, it will be finished today. That is my mission. I did get a bag of recyclables out of it and a bag of stuff to throw out.

I Must



So I have done nothing today so far, except for take the clothes off the shower rod cause they were finally dry and put the bathmat on the floor. I must do more cleaning. I see my self waning from my cleaning mission. I must stay on target. I will clean a corner today. I must get it done. I will recheck in when I have accomplished that.

So Much



I didn't accomplish all my goals, although I did put up quite a bit of stuff. I didn't get laundry folded, or new laundry washed. I did gather quite a bit up though. And I gathered another thing of recyclables and a thing of trash. And I shredded quite a bit of paper. *sigh* Still so much to do. I also didn't nap. The bath mat is still damp. But, I think the coat, and dress or dry, so I will put them up. Then I need to bathe.

Need Nap



PS I feel like I need another nap.

Goals



I gathered up two bags of recyclables, the bathroom trash and the kitchen trash and got Vince to take them all out! So yea! The bathroom is complete except it's kind of cool and humid here so the bath mat is still drying on the shower rod. It should be dry by tomorrow though. And I did some dishes.

Goals for today. Putting up some more stuff, gathering more stuff to throw out, folding laundry and a few more dishes.

Always Laundry



I got my laundry out of the dryer, folded it and put it away. I called my mom, and then I got that nap I desperately needed.

Drop



I haven't taken a nap yet.

I read my e-mail. Then I mopped the bathroom. Then I took the bathmat, a load of laundry and a winter coat down to wash.

On my way out of the elevator I all the sudden was drenched with sweat and my thinking was disoriented. I went ahead to the laundry room put my clothes in the machines, spilled some soap as I was putting it in. And one machine decided it didn't want my money grrrrr. I was trying to hurry as I was feeling more and more disoriented and hot. I figured my blood sugar must of quickly dropped from the exertion of mopping.

Finally got myself back in the apt, and took my sugar, it was 60. Which a normal sugar should be between 80 and 120. Especially since I just ate at 3:00. So I got some chips and licorice.

When I was feeling better, I figured it was time to check on the laundry so I did that. Brought up the bathmat, winter coat, and dress that Sherri-AskPowell-SassyNanny gave me to hang dry on the shower rod. And put the other load in the dryer. Then I mopped the bathroom floor again as a rinse. Since the bathroom floor was kind of getting bad I used vinegar and soft scrub on it. So I was letting it dry so I could rinse the soft scrub off easier. It is looking pretty good now. Vince's cologne fell on the floor and shattered a while ago, and some places turned a weird green from that. Not mildew, just weird, so that came up with the soft scrub.

BTW, a quick tip soft scrub works real well on coolers too! lol
