~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The weather outside is::::

 Chilly!  But it is supposed to warm up this week into the 70's again.

On my breakfast plate:
 

Slim Fast Shake.
 

As I look outside my window:::

 

I see my van and am reminded that it left me with a dead battery yesterday!  Apparently there is a short in the wiring to the lights and they weren't going completely off when I shut the van off.  What a pain!
 

As I look around the house::::

 

I've changed up my laundry days from Monday to Thursday.  So I don't see a pile of clothes that need washed!  Yay!

On today's to do list::::

 

  Clean house.

Monday....Clean, work on Demelza, watch Poldark.
Tuesday....Me Day, Work on Demelza.
Wednesday... Baking day with Mom, Prayer Meeting.
Thursday.....Menu and grocery list, laundry, work on Demelza .

Saturday....Schedule for next week, bedrooms.

Currently reading::::



This is the first book in the "Full Circle" series.  I just started it and so far it is a bit slow moving.  I'm hoping that it picks up soon.  Maybe I'm just used to the "Justice Seeker" series where it was action from page 1.  I'm planning on giving a fair shake though because I have the whole series on my shelf.  Here's hoping that I love them all!

 

On the TV today::::

 

Poldark wasn't on PBS last week because they aired the debate.  I mean, seriously, if I wanted to watch the debate I would tune into the channel it was airing on.  I WANTED to watch POLDARK!

 

I watched a few episode of Heart of Dixie on Netflix.
 

I also started watching a new show that we DVR'd called "Timeless".  I've watched the first 2 episodes and really like it.  But then again, I LOVE history. 

 

On the menu this week::::

Monday - Cheesy Potatoes and Smoked Sausage, Corn.
Tuesday - Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Soup
Wednesday - Ham, Fried Potatoes, Broccoli, Pecan Pie Bars
Thursday - Dan's Day (My brother will bring something home, so no cooking!)
Friday - Pizza
Saturday - Scrambled Eggs with Cheese, bacon, toast
Sunday - Dinner at Church

What I am creating at the moment:::: 

 

I have 3 out of 4 blocks completed for Part 4 of the Demelza CAL.  I'm hoping to finish up the fourth today after cleaning the house.  Hope I get time!  I really love the center flower :)

 

 

Here are all four components of Demelza so far.  Please excuse all those ends that still need to be tied in.  I'm hoping to get them done before Part 5 of the CAL comes out this Thursday.

 

 

  BTW, this CAL is going on in the Pippin Crochet Club group on facebook.  Come join us!
