Your love was handmade for somebody like me

Wake up! It’s Friday! Only a few more hours and it’ll be a couple we’ll deserved days off! Anyone have any plans? Things are mostly fluid here, so o have no idea what’s going on yet.

It’s bright and sunny here in TinyTown. No wind yet, but we’ll see if that changes. The birds are singing, and it’s shaping up to be a really nice day.

I’m just sitting here with some coffee, and chatting with Crystal, as she’s putting on here make up. Local news is on as well.

The Vindaloo went over pretty good last night, mom and gramma liked it. Dad had leftovers from the night before. He’s just a simple meat and potatoes man. This would rock his world too much, so it’s simpler to just give him what’s he’s used to.

But y’all it’s Friday, and sometime today, I’ll go out and grab the local Friday newspaper. It’s cute, lots of dad jokes in it, and some local flair. Have a great morning!

She’s the sweetest thing that I know

It’s Thursday, so that means the second hand shop is open. Nothing that jumped out at me today. Which is ok, you can’t hit a home run each time you’re up to bat, amirite?

Right now, it’s sunny, and pretty windy out. The sky looks a live out there, and I’m better at taking pictures of the clouds than I am, say taking a selfie. But that’s ok!

Nothing at the post office either, but it’s nice to get out for a walk in the sun. The wind isn’t even that bad, just some bad gusts. It’s only blowing at about 30kph.

Now, I’ll be sous chef to my mom, we’re going to be baking some muffins. I don’t know what kind, but some baking will get done!

Also, the Vindaloo I cooked yesterday will be served for dinner tonight over some rice. I was so afraid that mom and gramma wouldn’t like it, but I didn’t put any spicy spice in it, but it still tastes really good!

Good morning party people! It’s almost Pre-Friday. You’re almost there! Just a few more moments to hold onto, then it’ll be Friday. But savour the Friday’s and the Saturday’s, because, before you know it, it’ll be Pre-Monday. And everyone hates Pre-Monday.

So yesterday was fun. Dad had a day off work, so the whole family went to get groceries, and out for lunch. Then home to nap (because this is Shady Acres after all), and then at 4 pm, it’s time to build something! This time it was a bed frame for my dads bed, so his blankets don’t keep falling down. Lol.

Because when you’re in love, even 5 minutes a part, feels like an eternity.

Happy Thursday everyone!

I can hear the soft breathing of the girl I love

Good morning y’all! Guess. What. Day. It. Is. It’s hump day! Half way through the week! You’re almost to Pre-Friday. You can make it! I have faith. It looks completely different outside over the past two days. There’s no wind, very few clouds in the sky, it’s sunny, it’s kinda warm, and there’s no wind!

I have to laugh, I don’t know it it’ll show on the actual post but that gif is like triple speed.

I went to sleep about 20 minutes later than normal last night. I meant to just read for 10 minutes, just to finish 2 pages in ‘Ship of Theseus’. I’m getting into the main story, but I’m still a little (a lot) confused with the margin story. I hope it all comes together.

Weird German dreams last night. But mix weird German dreams with Demolition Man, and X-Men. It was very strange. And I woke up very confused.

Happy Hump Day!

So I’ll probably be cooking some Vindaloo tomorrow. Just need to get one spice, and the regular stuff (onion, tomato paste, etc). I got a couple of chicken breasts, and I’ll add some potatoes, and probably have it over some rice.

As I was searching a couple of days ago for spices for the bbq sauce I made, I ran into some Chinese five spice. I was blown away.

Really? C5S? I remember looking for this as Crystal and I were trying to cook something. We ended up making our own. How did this end up at Shady Acres? Mom said she used it once. Then it was put to the back of the spice cabinet.

Because, ketchup is spicy.

I won’t introduce curry ketchup, or curry wurst.
