One More Week!
Right now … I am counting the days until vacation, Lake Havasu City here we come! I am just dying to get out into that water, the weather better behave. I won’t tolerate shenanigans! We leave in 7 days and that is just perfect for checking the 10 day forecast. I also decided to check a few weather conditions around the globe just for fun, click on the links to check them out for yourselves.
Garden Grove 10 day forecast – High 70’s to low 80’s with no chance of rain until 08/02/13
Arizona 10 day forecast – Hovering around 110 with no chance of rain until 08/02/13.
Yokohama Japan 10 day forecast – High 80’s to low 90’s with around 40% chance of rain on most days. Steamy!
Washington DC 10 day forecast – Mid to High 80’s with around 20% chance of rain on most days.
Walt Disney World in Florida 10 day forecast – High 80’s with around 40% chance of rain on most days. The east coast is going to be sticky.
Right Now … I bought these crazy coconut chips and they are AMAZING!! Go out and buy some today!
Right Now … as my Mom and I can Allison makes her own baking creations with the same “little baker” set of toys that I played with, this is “
making a memory” at it’s finest.
Right now … I am canning! My Mom taught me how to do it last weekend and now I am hooked. I immediately went out and bought some supplies. Allison and I have made plum jam and fig conserve, the figs were generously donated by her babysitter Theresa. Theresa has two trees that grow the biggest figs I have ever seen; they are the size of an orange. Last year was a bumper crop for everyone that I know, persimmons, avocados, oranges and lemons all came flooding through my kitchen and if the same thing happens this year I will be ready. This is as much fun as baking and look at those cute jars? Those plump little containers are just begging to be filled with sticky sweet goodness.
Right now … I feel the need to make a cake, any suggestions on the type?
Right now … I need to pack for my vacation in one week. I know that sounds like I have enough time but before you know it the day before will be here and all of my unmentionables will be dirty. Of course I do love having brand spanking new underpants when I visit a new place, makes me feel decadent. I also have to plan out all of the cute outfits and then activity outfits that my little baby needs to pack! Having a daughter is the best thing ever; I get to play Dress Up every day. So back to my packing, the suit cases are still out from the last trip. It would be so much better, fulfilling and productive to have them out because they are packed ready to go for the upcoming trip. Of course when will I have time in between my canning and baking? I really need more hours in the day and energy to get all of the things done that I dream to do.
Right Now … My Dad has still got it, the Magic Touch! He just sat down with her and she fell right asleep.
Right now … last weekend my friends and I went out for a night of pool and pitchers of beer. We used to do this every Friday night but time moves on and things change. Every once in a while though it is good to get those skinny jeans, platform heels and long dangly earrings out from the back of the closet and spend the evening yelling at each other over the music. April and I played the worst game of pool EVER. Luckily I won just so that we could stop playing! I had a great time.
Right now … check out my funny girl! She makes me laugh. I just can’t resist that sweet goofy little face.
Right now … I need to get back into knitting. There are babies soon to be born and I need to get a move on! Every baby needs a little hand knit sweater, they make outfits even more yummy!
So think happy weather thoughts everyone and enjoy your weekend!
