Thursday, May 4th

Today, overall, was a good day.  I am saddened to realize that tomorrow will be the last day that I officially get to work with my coworker of the last 3.5 years.  She is leaving the firm after about 16.5 years.  For those of you that know me, I am not a big fan of change.  I know it will be better for her in the long run.  

 Today, I was listening to "Unstuffed" by Ruth Soukup.  For me, it seemed to really help things click.  We are trying to pick a weekend this month to try to work on being "Unstuffed".  I need to organize and purge a lot of things.  Since Mom passed in October, having to contend with her stuff is not what I intended, but it's necessary.  There was also a section about friendship and she made some very valid points there too.  Including the fact that relationships are intentional.  You have to give grace sometimes as well as receiving it.  As I was listening to her book today, she said some things that fell in line with some of the things that Sis. Thetus Tenney said last week at the NTX Joy Conference.  She said that you can't really compare your season to anyone else's season.  At one point, Ruth Soukup mentions that she didn't have friends who had small children, etc., so she really didn't have anyone who were experiencing her same troubles.  Friendships, like any relationship, needs to be nurtured.  

 Foodwise, not great, but we did have a tennis banquet tonight.  Steps, also not great, but tomorrow is another day.  Hope everyone has a great night!

What's Cooking Wednesday, May 7, 2025

I hesitate to even call this a recipe.  I have been making this super easy, but versatile recipe for years.  My ex-grandmother-in-law made hers spicier, but for my young one (at the time I started making this) wasn't a fan of spicy foods.  So I created a cheeseburger variety of the meat pie.  It's simply Grands biscuits, hamburger meat and cheese.  I believe she used the standard biscuit, but I have been using Grands for years.  You can absolutely change this up to use different ingredients, but it's a family favorite so I haven't changed it much.  I may do a different variety soon to bring to you!   You can watch the video here:  YouTube

Savings Saturday, May 3rd

 As we are trying to drill down on our budget and add to our savings, I decided to have a little fun with it.  We headed to Barnes & Noble and purchased 2 Word Find books, one is 365 Days of Puzzles and the other is a book of Bible Puzzles.  The 365 Puzzle book is pretty interesting in that it varies in topic.  My puzzles for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were:  Monday: Disco [Puzzle 50], I found 10 words in 6 minutes. Tuesday: Quantum Mechanics [Puzzle 192], 5 words in 4 minutes. Wednesday: Languages of Africa [Puzzle 299], 6 words in 4 minutes. So my total to go into savings for the first week: $21.00 Savings Total for this challenge: $21.00. I have decided to only do a puzzle on the weekdays, but not the weekends for this challenge.  Why?  Being honest, there are some days/some weeks, like end of the month that get a bit overwhelming.  Only doing a puzzle 5 days per week, gives me an opportunity to do one on the weekend if the ...
