Well, it's Friday... ;-)
One more shift tonight and I get to play and relax for 2 days!

It's been a tough week at work for me as well!

On the upside, I got to eat sauteed' shrimp yesterday.
One of my favorite foods!

Sorry you've had a bad week.
I don't know if this is good or not, but today, in about two hours, we
buy our first home. PANIC. I'm most nervous about the walk-through
because I'm afraid they may have left the place kind of dirty. When
they showed the place, they had old food out and greasy spots all over
the kitchen. So yesterday, I bought tons of cleaning supplies, just in
case!

Congratulations...What an exciting time!
Even if it looked clean, wouldn't you STILL want to clean it up to your
standards anyway? Sort of wash out the previous owners?

By all means, I definitely would, but I bought some super duper hefty
cleaners instead of just using what I already had around the house. I
know I'll have to clean it, but to what degree I don't know, and I'm
worried it's gonna be big. We're also trying to paint this weekend,
too, before the furniture is moved in.

Well, on the good side, I've always noticed an increase in motivation
and energy when I was doing this sort of work for myself in a new house.
It will be fine, and fun. Enjoy it. :)

I'm sorry you've had a bad week, Cathy. Good news: I passed my insurance
license exams last Tuesday which pleased my father no end. Other than that,
I'm taking a trip on 2/16. Driving over to meet my LLL in Arkansas for a 5
day get away from everything" hiatus. Doesn't get any better than that!

OB Food: Do not try to substitute turnip greens, even if you love them, for
spinach in soup :)

Just a bit. :)
A little garlic does enhance shrimps!

Butter, olive oil, a little bit of garlic and a dash of salt free lemon
pepper. Also added some ground lemon peel, powdered shitake mushroom and
a little bit of soy sauce, then a teensy bit of sesame oil and finished
with a generous sprinkling of sesame seeds.

Added to the saute' were some fresh frozen sugar snap peas and some
sliced smoked sausage. That was added last and pre-cooked in the
electro-grill. I did not want the smoked flavor added to the shrimp
themselves. Was not in the mood. I drained and rinsed a can of straw
mushrooms and added them too. I'd prefer fresh sliced mushrooms but did
not have any one hand.

A walk through is a two way street. Owner afraid you may not close.
Use your leverage and require someone (agent or owner) to hire a maid
service if it is still like you described. A cleaning fee is small money
in real estate transaction. Cry..it works.

It rained this morning. Now that might sound like bad news, but we're
down over a lot on our average rainfall for the past twelve months.
So a little rain is a very good thing, indeed.

Also, friends are coming over for steaks tonight.

Hope next week is a better one for you.

Well, I went to the mall today to pick something up,
decided to stop for lunch ... today's theme was the letter
F, I guess. Fried Fish and finished with Fat. (smile)
Arthur Treacher's fish n chips and while I was eating that?
Hey! a Cold Stone Creamery!

Chocolate ice cream with reese's peanut butter cups
served in a waffle bowl ... what's not to like?

The rest of my trip was odd, but that's okay. Even the
mall gets to have an off day.

And I hope whatever it is that is upsetting you gets better
or goes away right now.

So sorry you had a bad week, Cathy. I hope the unpleasant things are over
and done with and that better times are ahead for you.

My week was ok....good news is that my parents are visiting for a few days.
We see them only a few times a year, so we're looking forward to the visit.
It will be a quick visit; they are passing through town on their way to
Florida. Will have to think of weekend menus very quick -- need to shop and
cook tomorrow!

My little guy (2 yrs old) got his first big-boy haircut yesterday. So much
fun to see those plump cheeks above his tissue-wrapped neck and robe-draped
body. He really wanted to get the haircut, and yet he had this suspicious
look on his face the whole time. It was pretty funny. He did very well and
the haircut looks great.

And my sister, who I also see only a few times a year, popped in the other
day. She came to town for business, and had a few hours free before her
flight home. Lovely to see her. She lost a lot of weight last year and
looks smashing.

Sorry your week is craptacular. I hope it gets better!

Most of my good stuff didn't just 'happen' but every night, before I go to
sleep I assess stuff and I have this wonderful guy that makes me laugh and
holds me tight and participates in impromptu dance parties with me, I have two
doofus dogs that I love to pieces. They make me laugh too. Ghengis just had
his 2nd birthday so he got chuck roast and banana pudding!

One friend is pregnant, another had a baby boy about 4 weeks ago. These are
very happy times.
