Happy 4th of July Week! I love any holiday that makes all the banks close which means I get more time with my hubby. Of course, I also love it because it stands for our Country’s freedom. But to be honest, I’m not a huge 4th of July person. I like the decorations and any excuse to have a BBQ, but it’s not a holiday I get super stoked about celebrating. I know, I’m such a downer right? Okay, I’m not a huge firework person. When I was little, we would go down to my family’s beach cabin every year and celebrate the 4th there and watch their really cool firework show. It’s the best firework show on the Oregon Coast and I got excited about that one. But to be honest, I get kind of bored sitting around watching the little fireworks sputter and blast loud annoying sounds. I would rather spend my money on fun foodie ingredients, lol!
This week, I’m feeling better. I actually got out of the house yesterday (Sunday) and probably over did it a little bit. My back behind my rib hurts today, which is making everything a bit more painful, but I made the bed and put the clean dishes away and Josh got mad at me for that, because, Man, those plates are heavy! But I’m not stuck in bed anymore. Well, I’m sitting in bed now, because the pillows are propped up against my back and it helps alleviate some of the pressure. But I got a lot accomplished for me in this condition this weekend.
The weather is still somewhat cool here, High 60’s low 70’s. But by Wednesday, it’s heating up, so I planned my menu accordingly to the weather. And Yes, I do plan to attempt to get back in the kitchen and make dinner. Grace, will be my sous chef though. I think this whole thing has been good for her; teaching her more responsibility and to really help out a lot more around the house, which she is more than happy to do, bless her heart.
