Wowzer! What a Productive Day!

After my whiny post yesterday and going to bed feeling very sick to my stomach last night, I woke up and felt kind of blah this morning. However, after lounging around for about an hour or so, I got up and got productive!

Here is what I did so far today:

♥ Did a crossword puzzle and watched a movie (that was the lazy part of the day)

♥ Cleaned up breakfast dishes

♥ Showered & dressed

♥ Made French baguettes for lunch

Photobucket

♥ 3 loads of laundry - washed, dried, folded & put away

♥ Planted herb garden - basil, cilantro, dill, rosemary, and spearmint

♥ Planted vegetable garden - beans, cucumbers, squash, and pumpkin (tomatoes & peppers will go in next week)

♥ Picked & washed lettuce and spinach

Photobucket

♥ Made lunch (tossed salad, fruit salad, baguettes, cheese)

Photobucket

♥ Cleaned up lunch dishes

♥ Made, copied and folded church bulletins

♥ Made lemon poppy seed and molasses crinkle cookie dough and chilled

    Wow! What a great day. Made me tired just reading about it. It is such a good feeling getting so much accomplished in one day. May you have a restful Lord's Day.

    Impressive! Now if you can make it through church tomorrow without falling asleep you'll be doing really well. (Speaking from experience!) I'm glad you got so much done.

    Sometimes it's good to just plow ahead and not listen to the urges to "rest" and "take it easy"
    I usually feel better when I just get up and going...
    You really accomplished a lot!

    Don't you just love days like that?!
    I love it when I can get so much done. It feels good.

    the lettuce looks great! how is your garden coming along? Has the weather cooperated? I just went out to check our garden in between rain downpours and we have 12 little radish sprouts already!! I just planted them last Tuesday.. they are so fast.

    Are you planning on sharing that cookie recipe? looks yummy!

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a...

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost ...

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...
