Nothing new....

Good Morning!

It's still 11am so I can actually say that.  I've been up awhile,... hubby was back to work this morning.  I didn't bother falling back into bed as I wanted to fix the kids a nice breakfast.  I found this awesome french toast casserole recipe and tried it out when daughter had a friend for the night.  Needless to say, it was a big hit!!  To me, it's almost like a bread pudding.  VERY yummy!!  I thought maybe cousin would bring her two over this morning before she went to work.  However, yesterday afternoon we had some severe weather, which included a tornado just outside her house!!! Thankfully no major damage was done, but there are still power outages all over the place.  Ours was out for about 2 1/2 hours yesterday.  She didn't know if the salon had power this morning and whether or not her early client would show or not,... so things got jumbled up.  No worries,... I bet Sydney will eat the whole pan by herself ROFL

The weekend was pretty nice.  Quiet.  Friday morning hubby got off work,.... slept most the morning and into the afternoon.  I took youngest to see cousin for a major haircut! He was lookin pretty shaggy.  When I got home, hubby was up.  I grilled us up some burgers for dinner,... they were bigger than the bun!! YUM!!!  Rest of the night was quiet, hubby was still pretty tired, he slept.... I goofed online.

Saturday morning was piano,... took Sydney for that, ran in/out of Target for coffee and GameStop for an EQ2 card.  Back home to grill us a nice dinner of chicken with baked beans and a HUGE salad that oldest fixed.  I was STUFFED to the max.  Chris was enjoying a glass of wine and decided he had to share with his cousin and took off to go see him.  So, I watched some tv and played online.  Until my stomach rebelled against all the food I'd eaten.  I read for a good hour, and considered falling into bed, but just before 10pm hubby returned and we watched a show then I fell into bed.

Sunday morning, was pretty sleepy as hubby couldn't sleep that night.  He was up and down and up and down,... bleh.  I had been smelling something early in the morning hours,.... even got up around midnight and sprayed some Oust! spray hoping it would help.  Is our septic having issues I wondered??? Hmmmm... toilet flushed okay.... *shrug*  When I came out of the bedroom, could smell it more.... okay.... started cleaning, looking through potatoes or anything that might be out and spoiled,... I couldn't pin point the smell.  Cleaned out the inside fridge, then headed to the garage fridge,.... opened that door and *WHAM* stink!!!! Maybe hubby hit a skunk on his way home???  Smelled like something had died though.  Geoff said it smelled like hamburgers,.. Sydney said it just smelled funny.  The fact that they could smell it, meant it WAS something.  So, I opened the garage door to air things out.  Once hubby was up I asked him about it, he said he could smell it last night too when he got home.  Hmm..... 

Gina and family were coming over so I was finishing up the housework, got a shower, and went to scrub the grill off.  We had a MAJOR sandstorm blow through Saturday night while grilling the chicken,.... plus the bbq sauce that gets all over the sides of the grill was getting gross.  I was washing it off,... when I noticed two things,.... the 2 far right burners were turned in the ON position,... I didn't even USE those burners Saturday night,.... another thought was check the tank.  It was open.  I was in a hurry to get outta the wind/sand Saturday night I grabbed the plate of chicken and dashed inside the house.  Before hubby left, he put the grill away for me.  He didn't think to turn the tank off, because I usually do that before leaving the grill.  So, THAT and the burners left ON,... #1. we had no propane to grill with #2.  THAT'S where the stink was coming from!!!!  #3.  Hubby smokes.  Usually in the garage.  Had he done that Saturday evening,.... well... Kaboom! So, we both agreed that whoever puts the grill away, needs to double check the tank.... ALWAYS.

Hubby was home yesterday, we laid low, didn't do a whole lot.  I finished my book *sigh* I always hate that,... hate having to wait for the next one too.  Although, rumor has it, it should be out next month! I can't wait!!!  I've also got Sookie Stackhouse to read,.... and a couple others,... but I do enjoy reading one after the other :o)

Today, I think most everything I wanted to get done is done... might throw in a load of laundry, but we'll see.  I should go out and weed through my sunflowers, and move some around as they're bunched up on one side.  That sounds too much like work though..... maybe later.  Oh, I do need to run hubby's truck to get some gas and get our new atm/debit cards activated,.... prolly see if Dollar General has hubby's Monster drinks,...  yup yup busy busy ;o)

Guess I'll get off here and run those errands real fast!!  Hope y'all have a great day!!!
