Busy, Busy, Busy

 Yes, this is me and I have been very busy.  On a dead run since Auntie got here.

We finished another puzzle, and this one was really fun, but incredibly hard.  All Nancy Drew novels. (Sorry cannot get the damn picture to turn- I am challenged) Sissy and I had everyone, but alas they were lost in a house fire two weeks after we graduated from Highschool.

I feel like I have done nothing but cook and clean since Auntie got here, but the freezers are really going down and that makes me very happy.

Yesterday Husb and I took Auntie to Veterans lunch and introduced her to Creme Brule.  She loved it and now I know what to make ahead as I have all the fixings.

Tonight, we will be having Chinese, fried rice egg foo young and eggrolls.  This will clean several more things out of the freezer.

I will be able to start cooking in bulk again soon and have many plans, the first being chicken and beef enchiladas.  Have everything for this and the chicken and beef are done and frozen.  I will also make several chicken pot pies.  I still have five pie crusts, and also, I will make a banana cream pie.  Auntie loves banana cream pie.  She loves sweets, and so did my mother.  At 90 years of age, I think she can eat what she wants!

I finally finished her scarf, and it turned out wonderfully and it is wrapped and ready for her little surprise second birthday party which we are planning for Sunday afternoon the 23rd of March.  Everything will be pink.  Her favorite color.  Simple menu as it is going to be a very busy weekend.

This coming weekend we are doing a St Patty's dinner at Sissy's house for eight people, and I will make a pistachio dessert and a pistachio baklava. (Sluggy I will be thinking of you while eating baklava!) Sissy is making the Irish soda bread, the corned beef, cabbage and potatoes.  Also, a Key Lime pie!  WE will have Irish coffee with dessert for those who imbibe.  I am one of them!

Yesterday after my shower I got a wild hair and cut six inches off my hair.  I wear it up all the time and Husb says I look older with it in a bun.  My Little sister will undercut the back for me tonight as I really messed that up.

But I love it, and it is so much lighter and free.

Kim's middle daughter came over the other night and helped me get the TV on the wall in the guest bedroom and the Roku hooked up, for Auntie.

I ordered new linens for the guest bedroom finally, and they should be in tomorrow.  I will then consider the bedroom done with the exception of the large egress window which needs to be replaced this year and then I can paint!  It needs it but it is clean so that will have to do.

The weekend of the 21st my Auntie's eldest daughter comes in and Sissy will also be having Company, so Auntie is moving to my House, and her daughter will be at little sisters.  I need to plan a menu and will cook here the 21, and 22.

It is going to be crazy.

Today I must get to Costco for Sissy, and I want to go to ALTA for some makeup if I can find something.  We shall see.

I need a vacation!

Take care and everyone have a productive day!

Hugs.
