The Answer to Your Question: "Because it's Monday"

For about two hours today, I thought it was Thursday. Now I'm sitting here absolutely exhausted wondering how it became Monday again. I made the red beans tonight, but I over spiced OR I got a REALLY spicy jalapeno. The thing is, I can't really wrap my brain around that until it's not Monday anymore.

You know those days when you feel like you've cleaned the kitchen twenty times? Oh.. you don't? Well then you should go and come back when it's not Monday anymore. 

I asked Google to send me Monday photos. This came up. I like it.

I had a bright shining moment in today (you know, those few hours when I thought it was Thursday) when my lovely friends K and A were sitting at my kitchen table eating lunch. A was driving through on her way back to NOLA and K brought lunch. Spending a few afternoon hours with college friends is like sunshine and rainbows. Thursday is also Sunshine and Rainbows, so you can see where the confusion may have begun. 

Really today during the day was not Monday-esque, the day itself was productive and fun. Landy was in a funny mood and we got a lot done. For some reason, the Monday of the day is just sinking in now. Maybe I need some sugar to kick me up a few notches. 

Here are some random tidbits....

Landy had her second breakfast date with her good friend Lawson on Saturday morning. Don't worry, we had a four legged chaperone to make sure there wasn't any funny business.

We were down at the Texas coast with our good friends S & L. It was an awesome weekend filled with King Ranch Casserole, fresh caught flounder, and lots of Cookie Brownies. And lots of wine. There have been times at this house when I saw the sun rise because we hadn't been to bed yet. Times they are a'changin'. This Sunday we saw the sun rise while Landy was still sleeping. Then I threw on some jeans and went outside to catch a pic.

 

Some of my very good friends are undergoing massive power outages and floods in the North East. Most of these friends are seasoned hurricane vets who have NOLA hurricane experience, so I know they know what they are doing. I know how to get through power outages when it's hotter than hell outside... not too sure about when it's freezing. Extra blankets? Can you hook a generator up to an apartment? Curious. 

One last random note for any woman who currently lives or has lived with a husband, father, boyfriend, male roommate, or son. I cleaned out the fridge today. I saw some takeout styros and thought to myself "who was the last person to eat the lamb biryani?" Though I won't pin it directly on S, I had to capture this. The sure sign that a man has been the last one to eat the takeout... the fork/spoon is still sitting in the box in the fridge.

Tomorrow = back on track. I'll try and figure out how I spiced up my red beans. Maybe I'll post about that, maybe I'll think over whether anyone really wants to know. Uh, the anticipation must be killing you. Sorry about that.

Hunker Down,
