Good Evening Humble Readers...
Today was a quiet day at home for me. Due to some schedule changes this last week, I ended up working six days between days off, so today was a very lazy recovery type of day. I napped, read a bunch of blogs, and stayed bundled up on the couch.

We had some incredibly beautiful weather a week and a half ago, but since then it's been getting progressively worse. The prairie wind has returned, as has the chilliness. It's been drizzling off and on, but today it really started raining. All I could think of today was that song from the Winnie-the-Pooh movie, "The rain rain rain came down down down..."
They are saying that it's supposed to get cold enough tonight that the rain is going to turn to snow and we could end up with 15-20 cm (almost a foot)! Yikes! I refuse to turn the furnace back on, just on principle... it's the end of April for heaven's sake! (the snow just started... ugh!)

I concede that I was not able to hit Iron Commenter this month. I was able to visit more than 100 blogs, but I just ran out of time and energy. So many stories... so many incredible voices.

I made myself my favourite cold weather lunch today... I cooked up some macaroni, then added some canned diced tomatoes, basil, chives, a splash of hot sauce, and some crumbled feta. Yummy!
*****
My food fixation today: Chocolate milk. I actually tried to kill the craving a bit with some chocolate ice cream, but that didn't work. My Beloved is way too good to me, and went out in the wet weather to get me some chocolate milk. Have I mentioned that I adore him?

I am reading the BEST book right now... Maze Runner by James Dashner. It's a teen book and would be awesome for 12-14 year old boys (and 35 year old hobbits). It's kind of like Hunger Games, a dystopian society, evil controling distant overlords, and only a slim chance of survival. I really don't want to say more because the set up of the story is complex and I would be giving too much away.
Hey there!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a yummy lunch. I love Feta :)
How sweet of your Beloved to do that for you. I am not a fan of chocolate milk but if you love it right now it's all good!
Good on you for even getting through 100 blogs..that is still awesome for a lovely pregnant hobbit ;)

We have no snow in these parts.... at least not yet!!! Maze Runner sounds just up my alley because I just read Hunger Games and Catching Fire and I loved them!! Thanks for the recommendation. :)
ReplyDeleteSnow at the end of April! Guess I'll quit complaining that it was only 55 degrees this morning!
ReplyDeletesounds like a good book and a great lunch! I just finished reading the time traveler's wife. It's been blustery and rainy here which has made me think of winnie the pooh as well. take care!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get anywhere near 100 blogs, so good on ya! Sounds like a lovely lazy day :)
ReplyDeleteHow I would have loved to join you for that yummy lunch. Your husband is a doll, so sweet! Isn't it just great, THE best when our husbands are such sweethearts. Lucky ladies we are. xoxo
