Reason #678697 why I don't cook

So today I learned that I really cannot cook whatsoever. I was so proud of myself, I completely cleaned my kitchen, I mean, vacuumed, MOPPED, organized all of my little counter space that had ALOT of stuff on it. And while cleaning I got the great idea to make a loaf of homemade bread! I love my Mom's bread, so why can't I make my own in my bread machine?

Problem #1 was that it takes 3 hours to bake. 3 stinking hours. Not great when you start it around 6 pm and are hungry!!

Problem #2 If the container does not say YEAST on it, and even if you are pretty sure that it has yeast in it, and your mom just forgot to write it on the container when she gave it to you, you should check to make sure it is yeast. Otherwise two hours later, while cleaning your living room you will notice a smell. A burnt smell. A smell usually reserved for when you are making frozen pizza (yes I burn them) or hamburger helper (yes I burnt that last week).

You will be shocked, SHOCKED, to open your bread machine and see a lump of burnt bread dough..... :(

Take Two is tomorrow... We'll see how that goes.. I desperately want to WOW Emily with my freshly baked bread when I have her for lunch next week. We may have to push lunch into the later week because I have a feeling its going to take several attempts to get my bread edible..

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

Blue Monday!

Today's Festive Blue Monday outfit! I wore my tried and true trouser jeans, a short sleeved beaded top I got on clearance at Macy's of all places for 6 bucks!! And my awesome new jeweled flats! Sooo comfy and cute! Since it was in the 60's today I was able to get away with this warmer weather outfit! Beading on the top, I love it! Shoes, so ugly they are cute!!

Book Review: The Last Dance you Saved by LJ Evans

  Buckle Up Buttercup, because Sadie Hatley is finally getting her story!!!! And it did not disappoint at all! The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it ended. I could have kept reading for 1000 more pages.  L.J. Evans is a Masterclass in how to write Romantic Suspense (that's not so scary you can't sleep at night) with witty banter, heroines who kick butt (figuratively and literally). Her books are full of real people with real problems. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate the most about her writing. Yes, her books are an escape for me, but they also show that whatever you're going through in life, everyone else is also going through something.  In the case of Sadie and Rafe alot of those issues they contained to themselves and kept the hurt and pain inside of them, in order to be strong for others and what they thought they needed to be. But L.J. shows us that not only is it okay to let people in, but the beauty and redemption that come...
