I have to get a couple items done for a client that has to fly out for a funeral and a mother of the bride just got her dress in for this weekend. Then I was with a bride and Hubs answered my phone and told me that another bride was coming in in about 15 minutes. I thought she was on the schedule, and she was in the hall before I was finished with my current bride. So, when I was done with her fitting, and I had cut the front of the dress as I would be putting a lace trim back and that is just easier to do it that way. I asked her to remind me of her date and she said Sept. 10! So, she was not the bride on the schedule, she had just slipped in and waited until less than 3 weeks before the wedding. Note to self: do not let Hubs answer the phone.
I cleaned house all day on Saturday and all I had left to do was mop the floors, clean out the fridge and get the ironing done. Still haven't done those things, but I have the kids and toys are all over, when they go home tonight, I will at least get the fridge cleaned and the mopping done. The ironing might have to wait.
We went out to dinner Saturday night with our daughters and son in law for his birthday. I can't believe my youngest daughter will be 30 this year. Yikes I am getting old. We ate at a Thai place, and I did not like the food, but hubs did so took home lots of leftovers and that is what he ate yesterday.
I have no idea what it for dinner and had better decide soon, as I need to get meat out to thaw. I am going to do a bean salad out of tomatoes, garbanzos', cucumbers, green beans, olives and red onion. I do have hamburger patties, so I think I will pull those out. Okay dinner is done Yeah!
I got stung by a bee on Sunday when I was out picking cucumbers from the garden. I throbbed for about an hour and then it will turn into an unbearable itch in a few days. That is the worst part of a bee sting.
My bean salad is green beans, garbanzo beans, olives, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and red onion with a garlic herb, dressing out of olive oil, red wine vinegar, and garlic crushed. I have so many green beans and garbanzo beans that need to be eaten that I think I will make this weekly for a while. Hubs also loves this salad. I can also chop up some yellow banana peppers to go in it for variety.
Well, I had better get to work.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

It is that time of year where we have to get creative with all of the fresh veggies. I love it.
ReplyDeleteMy mom was out walking last week and was attacked by an entire swarm of bees. She was bit over 50 times all over. She went home to shower and her husband took her to the emergency room because she was already starting to get hives. SO scary.
gosh, hope your mom is OK. That is horrible.
DeleteThank you Cheryl. She is fine now but it was scary.
DeleteThat is awful. Hubby carried an eppie pen all the time in the woods, as he would sometimes inadvertently step on a ground hive. He swelled terrible. That poor woman, I am just cringing thinking about it.
DeleteI hate bee stings. I got stung in the fatty part of my palm Friday evening - man did it swell and itch!!!!! It was better by bedtime - but it sure was itchy.
ReplyDeleteI worked outside today. You sure got a lot done on the weekend. Sneaky gal getting in her dress on the sly!!!!!!
Have a good one.
I know she was dang lucky. Just reading about bee stings makes me itchy.
DeleteI think I would have handed her back the dress and told her I did not have time and that she was not on the schedule! Oh, you had cut it? Then, charge her $50 for off schedule and rush job.
ReplyDeleteMaybe those daughters for whom you keep their children should volunteer an hour help for you.
My youngest is 47! How did that happen? I don't like Thai, either.
I like Thai but they put a tomatoey base in the sauce I did not like. If I had daughters stay and help I would still have kids here, so no get them out as soon as possible.
DeleteYou need to call me back(I got your answering machine late last week)re-excursions for cruise.
ReplyDeleteOkay I will do that.
DeleteI love bean salad! I need to find my grandmother's recipe. She made a wonderful salad, pretty much like what you have.
ReplyDeleteIt is not my favorite but I am all about anything that Hubs likes.
DeleteYour recipe for bean salad sounds great. I'd add feta to it, and it would be perfection.
ReplyDeleteI do not like anything vinegary, nor do I like feta cheese but hubs would love that.
DeleteWhen our kids were in daycare they treated bee stings with a meat tenderizer paste. Most people don’t have that on hand these days. (My youngest is 35). This got me to thinking about the main ingredient in tenderizers. It’s salt. So, the last sting i got, many years ago, i made a paste of salt and water and it worked like a charm. Everyone has salt. It doesn’t like to stay in place so slap a bandaid on it for awhile. You will be amazed!

I have also heard of that; it was my mom's go too for bee stings.
