I am so ready for the weekend! This week flew by, but was a bumpy one for me!
It took me three days just to make a grocery list and I just started the shopping part yesterday! To complete my shopping I have to shop at three separate stores because I cannot purchase everything in one place! We checked two off the list yesterday and should complete our shopping this evening at the last store! "Ugh!" (<----said in my best Gwyneth voice) My car is at the dealer having repairs (under warranty thank goodness) ALL day today, so I am car-less... Had the most horrible encounter with a very rude man at said car dealer this morning. Put me in a funk for a few hours. On to more positive things... here are a few things that make me HAPPY today:

Had the most horrible encounter with a very rude man at said car dealer this morning. Put me in a funk for a few hours. On to more positive things... here are a few things that make me HAPPY today:
- a pork roast slow cooking in the crock pot in preparation for my Grandaddy's FAMOUS BBQ treatment! Every year at Christmas my Grandaddy pit BBQ'd a hog. His BBQ sauce was out of this world, and TOP SECRET for many years. My mother got the recipe and shared it with me a few years ago. I cannot wait to eat this yummy stuff! My mom gave me tips on how to adapt the recipe to home cooking.
- homemade pizza dough rising away in the bread machine. It is Pizza Night. It will be our first ever "Homemade Pizza night." I plan on making our pizzas every Friday from here on out! I got all the fixin's for pepperoni (Gwyneth's), Hawaiian (David's), and veggie (mine) pizzas! I'm also going to use some home made spaghetti sauce (Grandmother's recipe-which my Dad makes every time I am home) for the pizza sauce.
- talking to my mommy on the telephone! (yes, I said Mommy it's been "that" kind of week :o) I have managed to talk to her more this week than the last three months combined. Every time I have called her has been perfect too! She's either just sitting down to take a break, or packing, and welcoming the distraction. (They are moving the end of this month to a house they just bought in North Carolina.)
- laundry that is almost done! No 8:00pm folding for me! I hate when I let the laundry go and have to do it that late in the evening!
- looking at these sitting on my scrap table. Recycled Blooms (found in the March 2007 issue of Parents magazine.) We made them out of the many empty toilet paper rolls I just knew I would find something to do with! Oh, and the "vase" is an empty grits container that I covered in pretty patterned paper with Modge Podge! They just make me smile! They were such a fun craft, and involved recycling! Always a good thing!
Have a great weekend everyone!
