First Post

• Hi there.

I’ve tried three or four times to create a blog.  But, as most things go, I lose interest to the point I don’t even remember the login and password and all is lost. 

Let’s see how long this one lasts. 

I am very good however at reading other people’s blog- I have even scrolled and scrolled to get to the very first post So I can read their entire blog. Some of these people I am now Facebook friends with. (Michael Rockwell... John Fuller... Jeff Fightmaster....Erik Rubright....) 

Anyway, I suppose my life isn’t any more boring than anyone else’s. So let’s give it a go.  

My husband (hmmm should I use real names? Or a clever pseudonym?) (let’s think on that...) got up early to play golf. I woke up at 8 but didn’t get out of bed until 9:45. Imagine that! Not the usual, folks, but the dog was content and nobody needed anything so I took advantage. Amazing how much time I can spend reading email, looking at Instagram, and scrolling thru Facebook. I posted a question yesterday on my Facebook account and I do try to comment/ answer everyone who took the time to comment on my post. 

Ok then I did my morning shower routine, filled the dishwasher, and left the house. 

True confession: I really like McDonalds sausage biscuit with egg. If I have errands to run in the morning I will skip cooking at home so I can get my biscuit. Bacon egg and cheese biscuits are good too.  If only my biscuits were as good as Mickey D’s.

Then I went to Aldi’s. I’ve had BLT’s on my mind for a few days. A quick check of the fridge yielded four pieces of bacon, and no lettuce. So Aldi’s it is.  We are still wearing masks in public here, and the bigger stores like Shoprite or Target are just too big. For the most part I can find all I need at Aldi’s. And then some. Cause you know I can’t just go in for bacon and lettuce and come out with just lettuce and bacon.

Found a hat for Grandbaby#5.  A quarter holder for my keychain, so I am prepared to get an Aldi Shopping cart.  Grapes. Strawberries. Boston lettuce.  Rye bread. Guacamole. Chocolate Chip Dunkers.  Baggies. Root beer popsicles. Frozen pizza (Screaming Sicilian brand..... it’s pretty good, and since discovering that I’m half Sicilian it makes me chuckle).  Cheese.  Fizzy drinks.  Chex mix.  Bagel chips. 

But they only had huge packages of raw bacon. So I’ll have to wait for that. 

So we had lunch, the way my dad would do it.  Pulled everything out that could be possible lunch. We made BLT’s and had leftover potato salad from Sunday. Yum. 

Today’s to do list: fold the towels that are in the dryer.  Do the church’s payroll.  Work on genealogy (I’m narrowing down the possible male who helped create me) ( it’s down to about five candidates)

Dinner is leftovers. I made chicken with spinach and mushrooms in a cream sauce, and chicken with bbq sauce, cheese, and bacon on Saturday. Time to finish it. 

For the most part I don’t watch tv during the day. Most of it is just awful.  But in the evening some of it is Intriguing.  Last night Penn and Teller were on. Tonight it’s America’s got Talent.

My mother had a subscription to TV guide. She would look thru the listings and make notes of what she wanted to see. We don’t do that anymore, do we? We like to watch who wants to be a Millionaire, but it’s not on consistently, and to scroll ahead for days and days is difficult.  Perhaps I’m missing something.  

Ok.  Enough for now.  Stay safe at home! 

Smooches, 

Karen
