Random, random stuff

June 15th, 2006 at 03:03 am

How the heck did I just erase my entire post????? Life is frustrating.

I guess I will try again. I was posting about a bunch of random things that happened today.
-Home inspection #1 done. I don't have the final results yet, but I do have word from the buyer's agent that there are no "major" issues - only a few small ones that I am sure we can work out. Plus the buyers are being very flexible on the closing date, even allowing my sellers to close on the house yet retain possession for a few weeks. Yeah for small victories Smile
-Busy day at home - got a lot done off my list, including weeding the garden, cleaning the litter box, emptying the garbages, and organizing all my paperwork from those expandable file folders (which are expanded to the max)into a file cabinet. I have had a free file cabinet from an old job for years, but I finally got an insert that will allow me to hang folders. Now all my paperwork is going in there. I can make each folder specific to the contents, have as many as I want, and put more in them than I could with the other system. I would have all my car, life, and health insurance crammed into one section before, or all the credit cards from different companies mixed together, so finding things was a nightmare. Now I have distinct folders for each separate car, credit card, insurance policy, student loan, etc. Things are getting more organized around here.
-I patted myself on the back tonight for making a quick, easy dinner. Cajun pork chops (rubbed with a mix of spices - found the recipe at recipezaar.com) - under 10 minutes to make and cook (they were very thin). Then I threw some leftover asparagus in with cooked elbow macaroni and Parmesan cheese for an easy side dish that I knew the kids would like (and they did), plus some leftover corn from the fridge. I have to be more conscious of using up fresh veggies and leftovers in the fridge. I just had to throw away three avocados that my aunt brought us from her farm in California - I had big plans for those avocados too (a delicious guacamole recipe from my brother). Who knew they got moldy so fast? i've never bought an avocado in my life! But I digress...oh, and dessert tonight. my SIL had leftover cake pieces from a shaped cake she made, so I threw those in with instant French vanilla pudding and fresh berries (free from a neighbor - we give her sweet corn later in the summer) for a parfait/trifle/call it what you will. Mmmmmm...the kids gobbled that one up too. Life is berrylicious tonight Smile

    What was it you said in Fern's blog..."I am woman, hear me roar!"
