On the not so good side of things, there are only a few. I have not been as diligent as should have about keeping up with emails, blogs (reading & posting), housekeeping (although it has seen worse times) and life in general. I am still not completely over the blasted pneumonia (guess that smart alek doctor knew what he was talking about when he said it would take 5-6 weeks to actually get over) and have missed a day this week with a nasty stomach bug. At first I thought maybe it was bad food, but considering the fact that we all ate the same exact thing and no one else even belched? Not likely the cause. Top that off with the fact that after getting this fantastic menu planned out, we have hardly used it.
On the good side of things, I have been able to feed us with only what is in the pantry. I am however out of chicken, but still have lots of ground beef. The pantry is still organized and the blasted little moths are at least for the moment gone. Even from daughter's room. After spending the morning in the bathroom, I started feeling better, so since my sewing area is only a few feet from the porcelain throne, I set about on my mission to clean it up so I could sew on Wednesday. I accomplished the cleaning, but family hair cuts took priority over the sewing. So sue me, I wanted to see my daughter's beautiful eyes again, get the heavy coat of fur off my head as well. I needed a little image boost. I went to get the fabric cut for a quilt, spent a fair amount of time deciding on a block design to use, got the ironing board out to press the embroidered center of top I started a couple of years ago and found while cleaning yesterday.
Isn't it so cute? I will get a closer view of the center this weekend, it is a cute little cross stitched angel. I didn't work on the quilt, but hey, it was all set up, so ironed a shirt for work tomorrow.
I have to run, have been letting the color process on my new shorter little glam look. Okay, me and glam don't exactly so together, more like sassy style. At any rate, it is time to "Wash that gray right out of my hair" as they used to say. Don't you just miss those old commercials. Wow, who would have thought that the Ivory Soap girl would end up a porn star, the Marlboro man (still in several good dreams) would be banned from ads but we have to endure the ape shit grin of the man with his pills for male enhancement. YEAH like they really work, and his wife would let every woman at the office party sit on his lap. I am so sure that his better male function is the reason his golf and tennis game is suddenly so good. Not to be crude, but if there is a problem there, I am certain that if the golf tee stands up, the ball ain't letting it leave home for a while.
Enough of my raunchy little side tracks. I will try and get the recipe posted this week end for Chicken Azteca made in the crock pot and TOTALLY delicious. Now to get rid of the color and head to bed.

Hi, Dianna, this is Cyndi from Pantry Challenge, just checking out your blog. I have one, too. I"m looking forward to your Azteca Chicken recipe - I just made Orange Garlic Beef in my crockpot yesterday. Where in CA are you? I"m in Forest Falls (in the mountains east of San Bernardino).
