Sunday Night Chit-Chat

It's time for the Sunday Night Chit-Chat! Each week we are hosted by the very talented and super busy Carla at My 1/2 Dozen Daily.

My picture for the Chit-Chat is of our early peach tree. The peaches are sooo sweet and yummy! Unfortunately, Friday we had a huge wind and thunder storm; half the peaches ended up on the ground:( 

So now, let's get started!

I am...

Reading...second reading of The Fast Metabolism Diet (lots to digest)!

Watching...The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel; tomorrow night I am looking forward to watching Secret Millionaire:)

Listening to...The movie we're watching.

Cooking/Baking...Too hot to do either so just fixing quick and easy meals!

Happy I accomplished this week...Not sure I really accomplished anything this week. lol 

Thankful for...All the delicious food in the garden! I think this is what I was thankful for last week but it's still wonderful:)

Bonus Question: Can you walk well in high heels? Do you wear them often?
I love high heels but not over 3" high! I used to wear them more than I do now. Now I just wear them to church and for special occasions. I don't do the super skinny heels anymore.

A Little This and a Little That

Just a quick post today! I drove to the post office this morning to make sure my Artist Trading Card Swaps went out in the mail TODAY! Whew! I always love getting the mail and today was no different. I had my certificate from Stampin' Up! for promoting to Senior Supervisor, a swap card from my darling daughter,  Stampin' Success Magazine (for Demonstrators Only!), Costco Coupon Book (love those), plus the new book I ordered, The Fast Metabolism Diet by Haylie Pomroy (more on this later)! Now my die-hard readers may be saying, "Isn't that the book she was reading last week?" And you would be right! Hubby ordered the book from Amazon and I started reading some of it on Amazon but then decided to just download the Kindle version to my iPad! 

And also in the box from Amazon was my new Eat Smart Precision Tracker Bathroom Scale...

Whoo Hoo! Do you detect a theme here?!!! Oh my! Our old bathroom scale weighed different every time I stepped on it!  One day I weighed three times, one right after the other, and ever time was different! Sooo frustrating! Hopefully this scale will be different plus we can program in each family member and it will automatically know who it is! Now that I've got to see!

Sorry to leave you with a tickler but you can get a pretty good idea of what I have in mind from the items above. Will share with you next week!

Have a great weekend!

Happy Homemaker Monday

Good morning and welcome to Happy Homemaker Monday! We are hosted each week by Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. You will enjoy reading about Sandra's adventures going from Air Force Wife to Country Life. I am also enjoying reading about her brother and family coming to live in Idaho from South Africa!!! Now, that's an adventure!!!

The weather...
It will be exceedingly warm today...probably high 90's but it feels a little muggy which is rare for us.

Right now I am...
Relaxing in my recliner writing this post.

Thinking...
About all I need to do today.

On my reading pile...

• The Fast Metabolism Diet by Haylie Pomroy
• The Covenant by Beverly Lewis (yes, I am still reading this...not because it's not good; I just got side-tracked)
• A Little Bit Country by Debbie Macomber
• Read aloud: Mustang Man by Louis L'Amour (another book in the Sackett series)

On my TV...

I think I found a new favorite TV show! It's called Secret Millionaire and is on Sunday nights! LOVE IT!!! 

What I found while surfing the net...

We have food allergies at our house and wheat seems to be causing some issues here lately. I read that sprouted wheat might be a good alternative so was checking out websites and found Chef Tess Bakeresse! She has so much on her website but am particularly interested in the Sprouted Wheat Bread and Sprouted Wheat Tortillas.

On the menu for this week...A whole lot of green salad! When it's hot I don't feel like eating much so will likely pair whatever sounds good with a big yummy green salad!

On my to do list...

• Laundry (I try to do one load every day and that keeps me pretty well caught up)
• Purge and organize in Craft Room
• Can a few more quarts of apricots 

In the craft basket...

Still working on the Granny Square Afghan. I took a little break but am ready to get back to it!

Looking forward to this week...Making a significant dent in my craft room mess.

Looking around the house...

• Dishes need to be done from breakfast
• My end table is a little messy with magazines
• Window above the couch needs washed clean of Rocky's nose prints
• Dogs and dog toys everywhere!

From the camera...

A visitor to our home last week! He was in the garage on Hubby's tool box!

On my prayer list...

• Friends needing prayer
• Margarita and her family as they move to Japan. Hubby is in the Navy and will be stationed there for awhile.
• Kylee as she is getting ready for her wedding this month!

Bible verse; Devotional...

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." --Isaiah 26:3

Well, I had better get to that "to do" list if I want to get any crafting done this week!
