Quiet Saturdays, another lazy dinner and keeping my sanity.

Yay for Saturday! When I wake up on a Saturday morning and its past 6am I feel like I have won the lottery or something. Even thought I am a total morning person my hubby is a morning person on steroids or maybe its coffee. Anyway he tries to be so quiet so I can sleep in but hes not very good at it. I tell him all the time he would stink as a ninja.

I was up showered and dressed by 8 and then it was off to Luckys Market to grab 2 seedless watermelons and some Botanical Garden seeds. They are one of my favorite brands and Luckys has the biggest selection besides shopping on line. What weekend doesnt include a trip to Lowes? In fact I feel like maybe I should start taking breakfast to the young man who always waits on us on Saturday mornings.

I am pretty sure my hubby has a plan on Saturday mornings to get me out the door in a rush. When we are headed back home he usually casually mentions stopping at a drive thru to grab a breakfast sandwich. He says its so I can enjoy my morning but its really a country ham biscuit he really likes. This morning though I was prepared. When he asked if I wanted to stop, which by the way why does he want to make it seem like its my idea? Is this some sort of reverse psychology? I told him I had bought some croissants and that I was going to fix ham, egg and cheese ones for breakfast. He said okay but I think as we drove by Hardees he may have had a tear in his eye.

Croissants $1.59 marked down at the bakery, ham $1.49lb, sharp cheddar $.75and eggs from the back yard. I think I saved a few bucks and I mine was made with love.

I think I may be either getting lazy or absentminded in my old age. For two days in a row I forgot to put something out for dinner. So last night I grabbed some shredded cooked chicken I had in the freezer, pasta which I had three boxes with only a serving in each. 6 cups of chicken broth and a half bag of peas and carrots. Break up the pasta and throw everything in a pot. Bring to a boil and turn down to a simmer and cook until pasta is cooked 15-20 minutes. You can add salt, pepper and garlic to taste.

My family says that I am hard to buy for when its comes to my birthday and Christmas. I was actually pretty surprised and when I asked my they said it was because I always make all my own things. I had the brilliant idea that I would just make a list on Amazon of things that I like and since everyone uses me amazon account the could look at it and know what I like. I also created a board on my Pinterest account called What To Buy Mom. There shouldnt be any problem now. I had two things on my Amazon list. One was a Diary Book by Laura Ingalls Wilder and the other was a necklace to put essential oils in. My husband has bought both and given them to me. Which is really sweet but now I have to find more things to put on my  list. I am not complaining. Its nice to be loved and showered with gifts.

Here is a little recipe I found to wear in my necklace. I loved the name as well. This is perfect when you are going to be out and about and dealing with people all day. I can not wait for someone to ask what scent I am wearing. 

Have a great Saturday!

Lots Of Love
