Happy Super Tuesday, people! I hope for those of you that had the opportunity to vote today, that you did!!
Tonight I have a few confessions. And these are in no particular order of anything.
Confession #1: I love garlic. I love the smell. I love the taste. I love what it brings to a dish.
Last night, as I was feeling rather proud of myself for Andrew’s “Best Hotel Man Gift”, I was perusing the new cookbook I’d purchased for him from Williams-Sonoma….dreaming of delectable dishes with fine wines.
Then I pulled out one of my tried and true cookbooks from Southern Living and chose a shrimp recipe for tonight’s dinner. Today I planned my lunch hour strategically, taking part of it to go for a 30 minute walk, and the other part to leave early to go to Publix {because I love Publix…especially when it’s just me.}. Andrew volunteered to pick up the kids from daycare {yippeee!} so I got to go by myself and for my other mom-friends out there, y’all know how much fun that can be {for reals!}!!
Tonight I chopped and minced my way thru onion, garlic, tomatoes and parsley in order to come up with this mouthwatering dish. And while I minced the garlic I was thinking about how much I love garlic, how fascinating it is to me {small but with a lot of punch} and how I’ve only really been eating it for the last 10 or so years. Another one of those things that I’d missed out on for half my life by the time I discovered it…
Our supper was amazing…even if the kids didn’t eat it…
Confession #2: I’m not a fan of participating in R’s potty training. He’s a big boy now, can’t he do this on his own yet?
And he’s a boy…and boys are weird from the get-go with their parts and I just can’t handle it, yo. #alldone
Any other boy-moms out there feel me on this? I asked Andrew about this, as in, why does this start so early? He laughed and shook his head. And then had a conversation with R. I left the room. I said it: hashtag, all done.
Confession #3: I blew the February budget. BLEW.IT. Like, to smithereens. Like, it never existed. Holey Moley. Andrew and I have not had our monthly round-up yet – but I’m sure after he reads this confession that we will. bahaha. I gotta hurry up and go to bed!!
I will remind him that today is MARCH 1st, 2016 and it’s a new month. {Forget about the fact that dresses were BOGO at The Limited today…and I got a giftcard for my birthday…} I will do better this month, I promise.
Confession #4: This isn’t really a confession…it’s more of just a statement. I read this verse this morning and felt/feel compelled to share: “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” Psalm 150:6.
That’s it. Everything that has breath. Do you have breath? Praise the Lord.
That’s all.
Have a lovely night {or morning}….tomorrow is Wellness Wednesday and I have a few things lined up for you {no videos!!}. :)
