~~Making a Home Monday~~

KC1212 · September 2013

Hi everyone!

Warning, once again, I am not very prepared. I apologize, I'm cramping, our AC is broke and I'm having some Linda Blair -esque mood swings.

1.) What was/is for dinner tonight?

A lean cuisine. I'm not dieting but for a microwave dinner, I think they taste good.

2.) Do you/or will you/have decorated for fall/Halloween?

Yes, I have a few sticky window decals up but that is all for now.

3.) How many loads of laundry do you do per day/week?

I counted the other day and realized I did 10 loads of laundry! And I went through a pack of 30 tide pods in 6 days! crazy!

4.) Is anyone currently working on anything DIY or crafty?

Me, no not at the moment.

And BTW: who posted gramham cracker peanut butter bannana recipe last time??

I made them and loved them! DS didn't like them though

but he is going through some crazy food phases right now...

1.) What was/is for dinner tonight? Not sure yet...

2.) Do you/or will you/have decorated for fall/Halloween? Usually we do up the front yard, and I will sit in the front yard in a freezer suit and a mask and set up other decoys on the porch so know one knows who is real or not. But since we are doing IVF and I will be having surgery within a few weeks after retrieval. I think we will skip it.

3.) How many loads of laundry do you do per day/week? Yikes maybe 3, I usually do laundry every other week and that totals around 6

4.) Is anyone currently working on anything DIY or crafty? No but because of a Pinterest Whore I think I may be trying to find something to make for Christmas this year.

Also I found this recipe and I have NOT tried it yet, since I am to stay away from caffeine but thought I'd share it. If anyone tries it let me know how it goes.

1.) What was/is for dinner tonight? We had meatloaf and artichoke hearts simmered in olive oil, garlic, and parmesan! So good.

I also had oatmeal cookies, then I made a huge cake with mountains of cream cheese frosting, because I hate myself?!?1 I'm eating my feelings

(moo)

2.) Do you/or will you/have decorated for fall/Halloween? I hung up a little witch my Grandmother bought for DD. /Done.

3.) How many loads of laundry do you do per day/week? Don't hate me! H does all the laundry, usually on Saturdays. I've been banned from laundry duty (success!)

4.) Is anyone currently working on anything DIY or crafty? I effing ordered new knobs for DD's dresser but the screws are too long. Hopefully H can get some proper screws on Weds so I can actually change the friggin' knobs!

1.) What was/is for dinner tonight?
We had taco pasta bake. It's so yummy but not very healthy. I usually try to have some sort of veggie with it, but we didn't tonight.

2.) Do you/or will you/have decorated for fall/Halloween?

Yes, I have some fall decorations on my porch & in my dining room. We have pumpkins outside and a fall wreath.

3.) How many loads of laundry do you do per day/week?
Probably 3-4 but I never get it all done. I HATE laundry. Plus, our washer/dryer are in our yucky basement.

4.) Is anyone currently working on anything DIY or crafty?

Nope not really. I did finally try something I saw on Pinterest a long time ago, which was sidewalk chalk paint! DD had a good time with it!!

I have a crush on you for using such crude language like effing and friggin'.

Hahahahah!! I'm trying to clean up my act lately

1.) What was/is for dinner tonight? Pierogies & kielbasa tossed in mustard vinaigrette.

2.) Do you/or will you/have decorated for fall/Halloween? Yes, I have a window Frankenstein, and a spider wreath. Also we do the spooky house kits from Michaels every year. You should really check them out! They're so fun!

3.) How many loads of laundry do you do per day/week? About 3-4, per week.

4.) Is anyone currently working on anything DIY or crafty? Yes! I'm very crafty and I always have a project going. Right now it's a Halloween cross stitch.

AlmostWright · October 2013

1.) What was/is for dinner tonight? Enchiladas with avocado

2.) Do you/or will you/have decorated for fall/Halloween? Probably next weekend after we get pumpkins. We have some window clings, a few wooden yard stakes and DS likes the fake spider webs so I think we will do them again.

3.) How many loads of laundry do you do per day/week? Probably around 6. I don't know the 3 of us have so much laundry!

4.) Is anyone currently working on anything DIY or crafty? DS has a halloween kiwi crate that we will do, and DH and my dad rebuilt our fence this weekend so we have that to stain. I really need to work on making photo books. I used to print pictures but there were just too many so I planned on doing a book per year but have none made.

I apologize in advance for the huge paragraph you're about to be subjected to. My iPad never formats correctly... 1. Dinner: Meatballs and gravy over rice. Good, not great. 2. Decorate: Yep! I put my fall stuff out in September - up here in MN you need to make the transition from summer to fall/winter fun or we'd all go nuts! We'll do pumpkins, gourds, decorative corn, hay bale, etc on the front step in October. 3. Laundry: I'll do 3-5 per week. How many I fold is another story... 4. DIY: I bought yarn to crochet my girls new hats, however I usually end up on here when I could be being productive

oops!

roughkat · October 2013

@Jen071407 - off topic but you're in MN? Where? I'm in Minneapolis.

Sorry I don't answer these Monday questions. My husband cooks and I am ridiculously not crafty. I've never even seen Pinterest. I'm convinced that going on there would only make me feel badly about myself, because I'd see all the things that I could do and yet am not doing.

1.) What was/is for dinner tonight?

Pizza - carryout, It was a busy day and I refused to be on dish duty tonight

2.) Do you/or will you/have decorated for fall/Halloween?

Yep, over the weekend I pinterest-ed myself stupid and got busy getting the front porch up to the season/holiday standard. When Halloween gets closer, i'll start adding more "spook" to it. For now, its all about fall

3.) How many loads of laundry do you do per day/week?

7, I do one load every morning. The 3 of us have just enough dirty clothes & towels every morning, from the day before to make up a load so it works well for us.

4.) Is anyone currently working on anything DIY or crafty?

Yes, my DH & I are currently tackling a DIY pallet bench for the front porch!

@roughkat we are originally from the cities, but in Rochester for a few years for DH's residency. I do not miss rush hour traffic

DH just made a pallet bench for our bedroom at the foot of our bed! Turned out great!
