Himself:
Did vastly better moving around.
They switch around accounts when one of the four auditors takes a day
off…tomorrow he does different things.
Herself:
Swim and books. I spent one hour
marking books with the wrong colored, wrong dated, price stamps. There are those days. Today more books, a BBQ, and the opening of
the Olympics. I’ve been fascinated by
those since I discovered them.
Reading:
I forget and it’s downstairs.
Watching Project Runway tonight tho, and pleased they got rid of the
right woman. Buying a book on shoe history.
Balance:
Those moments of silence.

“Why are you here on Thursday? You have lots more books now that you have
big bookcases. Do you know there’s a
whole empty shelf out there?”
Marking two shelves of the mountain of books all wrong
didn’t help my sense of humor. I ate
lunch and persevered. There were several
shelves of books sorted and priced plus one wagonload out on the floor by the
time I headed home.
“Are you filling up that empty shelf,” they asked.
People don’t tease you if they don’t like you.
I came home to fix a simple dinner with a certain amount of
trepidation. The last two squashes came
out of an hour in the oven hard as rocks.
The last squash took two turns in the microwave after it’s hour in the
oven before we considered it edible.
I treated this one just the same. Turn the oven on to 425 degrees, a hot
oven. Cut it in half, remove the seeds,
put one teaspoon of brown sugar and one teaspoon of margarine in the
middle. Wrap each half in foil and bake
one hour.
And they came out perfect.
After two failures, doubts hover even tho you have done something a
thousand times.
No emptiness here.
Fresh steamed green beans with sautéed mushrooms and a salad of cooked
beets….out of a can, with oil and balsamic vinegar and a trace of goat cheese
on the side. Really simple. The salad and the green beans took 15 minutes
total, and the squash cooked all by itself.
Tonight we are going out to a BBQ after a meeting. Much better than cooking even simple
stuff, (I’m so lazy), then it’s home to
the opening ceremonies in London.

Squash maybe was not ripe enough or perhaps did not get enough moisture when growing? I am eating tomatoes...again...tonight.
ReplyDeleteI am going geocaching and intend to eat geosnacks all day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a photo shot! I love everything about it--the angle, the colors, the subject--just awesome! Yours?
ReplyDeleteThe squash sounds delish.....wish I could have shared it with you. My husband doesn't like anything like that and I feel like it is too much trouble to just make it for myself....
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Opening Ceremonies...I'll be watching too.
Veggies sound scrumptious. I too feel lazy. Hard to cook with the weather so miserable. Dianne
ReplyDeleteI love your veggies! Now I am inspired to do something similar!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a yummy, healthy meal. I enjoyed the opening ceremonies!
ReplyDeleteYou really caught a fabulous Comic Con photo!

ReplyDeleteI wish everyone would realise this. I love teasing.
