So I'm sitting here, pjs on, eating a bowl of multi grain cheerios, trying to come with the tasty treat for Friday. But I can't seem to settle onto anything. I'm scared to say it, but I'm pretty much sick of chocolate and chicken...not together, but I'm not wanting anything chocolate and I'm refusing to cook another chicken dish for the rest of the week..should be interesting since the choices are limited right now. The problem isn't really what to make, because I have a million and one recipes of yummy desserts, its just that a month ago when I planned my meals and desserts- chocolate was obviously something I was craving. So now if I make something different I'll have to go buy more ingredients. Which is bad thing since I just indulged in a Barnes and Noble online bargain book sale lol! (I was getting ready for Christmas though). Either way I guess I'll spend part of my morning looking for the perfect recipe that will sound good, get eaten in my house, and that I have all the ingredients for. Maybe I'll just skip the drama and go pick up a few apples and make these apple pie pops...its like apple pie on a stick..sounds heavenly right?! OR something pumpkin..this picture of my Isabelle in the pumpkin patch reminds of the fact that its fall and anything pumpkin would hit the spot...hmm
Today is my first day home alone (during the day) since Friday..I swear the three days I have the house to myself are the most productive and then the other 4 are successful in destroying all I accomplished. So back on the merry go round I go. Here I come laundry, elliptical machine (oh how I hate you), messy counters, and gross bathrooms. But I have to say this, when you have the time, and spend that time cleaning, each day is easier because its just maintenance. But then you start seeing the bigger jobs..like the charcoaled bottom of the oven, that that paint color you thought you loved in the office- yeah that's not working anymore. Then the lightbulbs that would be brighter when dusted, and how your kitchen set up just doesn't work. And if you're anything like me, you find yourself at 10pm rearranging all the drawers and cupboards, there for confusing yourself and your family for weeks. (maybe just maybe that's a little revenge for all the dirty socks and left out shoes I have to pick up everyday). :)
Ahhh..well here I go.
