Hump Day

Today has been just getting finished on things I started yesterday. Plus did the grocery shopping. Normally I do it on Fridays but we were out of catfood so instead of just buying some of that, I ended up doing the weekly shop instead. I got off track last week with being gone Friday. It was actually better in that the store was far less crowded. May have to just change my day for it. One of my goals now is to get organized as a couponer and only shop loss leaders and sales. For some reason I am not making much progress with this.

I am trying to get motivated to clean out and reorganize a couple cabinets in the kitchen. And looking around I realize my desk has gotten disordered and I need to deal with it. Primarily I need to deal with my whatever box. I can't really call it an inbox as I know there is all kinds of things in there, I just need to sort it all and probably pitch half. I try to open the mail by the trashcan in the kitchen and toss a lot right away, and, I do pretty good with this. But, one of my downfalls is catalogues. I save too many - I do shop a lot from them though. But, you know, there is always something or somethings to do! It never stops.

Hubby has been gone since Monday morning and will be back this evening. Dinner is going to be pork chops alfredo, pasta and fresh green beans with fresh baked French bread, although I cheated on the bread and bought a half baked loaf at the store. Hey, it's the thought that counts! It is still a bit cool and this sounds good to me. No planned dessert as there a plenty of sweets people can pick something from.

I planted a bunch of eucalyptus in big pots this year. It is growing. I love eucalyptus, we were planting it yearly and then a few years ago, suddenly I couldn't find any locally and just never got around to ordering any. I love to make wreaths in the fall. The plants don't overwinter here, but, DH is hoping to get a small green house made by fall so perhaps I can save them. I also have a lot of rosemary and lavendar and sage growing, so I am quite excited at the possibilities.

Now I think I am going to curl up in a comfy chair and read for a bit before time to start dinner. I am reading
With No One as Witness (Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers Novels) by Elizabeth George. I love her books. This is a great big British Mystery. Perfect with a hot cup of tea.

Have a good one!
