Hello, Hello! I broke my streak of regular posting but the weather has been nice and I've been so busy (& happy!) working in the yard/on the house. I'm completely exhausted by the end of the day. Honestly, it's been great and the best I've slept in awhile. We also have a mini vacation coming up.
And I celebrated my 59th birthday yesterday. I was never one to care about age/aging but the past few years have been kind of hard to wrap my brain around. Probably because I feel older. We had a lot of big life changes, health scares plus other stressful things going on. Things finally seem to be headed in a better direction, both with health and drama so 🤞
Other than that, there hasn't been much going on. I did some baking 2 weeks ago - 3 things in ONE DAY lol
I made a loaf of whole wheat, 7 grain bread in my machine, scones (from a mix) for a breakfast meeting Kevin was having at work the next day & decided - what the hell - and made a batch of Irish Cream cupcakes - converted from a coffee cake recipe I had made.
Reading:
I'm still barely reading. I started the audio of Annie bot by Sierra Greer ~ Goodreads . I thought it was a different book so I'm a little thrown by it. It's about a female robot - purchased by a man named Doug and her growing interest in humanity and autonomy. These books are always kind of about sex and servitude (for obvious reasons) but it's just really squicky to listen to at the moment.Watching:
I have never played Fallout but we watched the series version on Amazon and loved it. It's kind of wacky, super violent, darkly funny.
We're watching S2 of The Tourist on Netflix right now. It's pretty good, although I enjoyed S1 more. I highly recommend S1 - it has a Memento vibe in the Australian Outback.
That's it for me!
I'll leave you with this video by Tenacious D (love them!). They did a cover of Britney Spears Baby One More Time that I meant to post when it came out a few weeks ago. It's a cover for the Kung Fu Panda 4 movie.
All your baked good look wonderful! It's a fun way to busy yourself. I hope you had an amazing birthday!
ReplyDeleteI had an old lady birthday. I worked in the yard, ran errands and got my free Starbucks birthday drink and went to bed early lol But it was a nice day so it counts :-)
DeleteHappy belated Birthday! I'm glad you're enjoying the weather and getting some great sleep!
ReplyDeleteGardening completely wipes me out lol In the best way though.
DeleteHappy belated bday!!
ReplyDeleteWe do not have amazon :( I wonder when the whole streaming system will break down, I mean who can have everything? I gave up disney but then the kid cried for hours so had to take it back
Thank you! We have Disney for free (& Hulu before they merged) but I wouldn't pay for it. I don't know how many things the expect us to pay for! It's crazy!
DeleteThat video is great! We will watch KFP4 when it comes to streaming. I hope you had a great birthday. I've recently started feeling "older" (oh my aching... fill in the blank) and don't like it!
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched the KFP series in years. I just happened to see the video.
DeleteAging sucks lol
The cupcakes look good. Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary!
DeleteI just got back in the mood for baking and it was near 80° yesterday and today. 😅
ReplyDeleteWhen you use your bread machine to also bake the loaf does it heat up the kitchen at all? Do you love your bread machine? If so what brand and model is it. 🍞
I am so HAPPY your health is doing better! 🙌 Happy birthday! I think I told you on IG, but just in case. 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for the Tenacious D video. I needed it. 🤗
Thank you <3!
DeleteI have a zojirushi BB-CEC20. It's pricy but I got a great deal on it early in the pandemic. I love it and it does not heat up the kitchen when cooking but I rarely finish a loaf in there. I mostly use it for kneading and to make jam. I had a different machine years ago and they've come a long way!
I might use it more for actual baking in the summer lol We're still in winter cold/rain mode here.
