I've been on vacation.

I've been on vacation since September 17. I took Glo-worm (gloria) to her dr. appt. in Ventura. They've taken her staples out and now, she is recovering at home nicely. I had several plans for my vacation but things kind of fell through. The need for money obviously, plans changing, going to the Philippines would have been fun but the strike pretty much scared my chances of non-reving (stand-by travel). I've been home, in the kitchen, cooking what I can muster up. I made a veggie lasagna, minestrone soup, baked rigatoni, caramel banana raviolis, made my own caramel sauce, thanks to Ina Garten and Tyler Florence and made my own bechamel sauce. I will attempt to make some homemade Mac and Cheese before I go back to work. Cleaning the kitchen has been a thing for me. I wish my kitchen was a whole lot bigger. I want to have a new kitchen. God will you please bless me with a bigger kitchen, a bigger house, a nicer car, maybe another child? I know, I know, I ask for too much.

We are having yard a sale tomorrow. Got to be up early to set up. I hope that some people stop by. I posted it on Facebook but did it as a public event so that everyone can see it. I need to start sorting clothes and placing them into bins. I've got a busy weekend. Yard sale, babyshower, Reggie's birthday, no time to relax......LOL! I believe that Landon is coming this weekend, I'm excited to see him. Miss that boy so much. I should have blogged everyday but you know, I think I have ADD so I get distracted or tend to do one thing at a time to get it done. What can I say? It must be old age, I am 41. I ache all over. I should probably go back to work. Work keeps me young, my friends at work keep me young, because they are all young! I'll be back next Thursday. Until then.......happy cooking!
