I have no idea what got into me but I woke up bright and early, around 6am. I got up and found the Beast was up and had plans to go out preaching with a few members of his church. I was going to go back to sleep but thought he would probably feel better with a good breakfast. So I made us bacon, eggs and homemade hash browns. I made HIM make the toast. It was delish and just what I needed myself.
I actually got ambitious and unpacked a few more things, folded another load of things (dish rags, dish towels, bath towels and wash cloths) and even fed Baron after the Beast left. I knew he would only be gone a couple hours but, once that was done, I tried to take a little nap (even tho' it was still early morning).
Wouldn't you know that Baron would take the appearance of workers across the way (they are putting siding up on Dennis's barn) as a reason to bark, loudly. BTW, Dennis had his surgery today but we didn't hear anything about it. Di isn't really the type to call so I imagine we will have to wait until Dennis is well enough to talk. Having a kidney removed is not a minor thing.
So I am trying to nap and Baron is barking at everything the guys are doing. Then one of the guys comes to the door because they need a piece of equipment they stored in the barn. That meant I had to get up to answer the door and I was glad that I had gotten dressed. I had no idea where the key was so I called the Beast with the hope he had his phone with him. He did and he told me where to find it. The worker took it and returned it right away. After the workers left, the Beast checked to make sure they had relocked the door and they had.
So I get the key and put it back where the Beast kept it. I am still tired but I had made a promise to make some apple crisp today. I had to check to make sure I had all the ingredients for the *crisp*. I did so I thought I would give a nap another try. I laid down and was half asleep when I hear the floor creaking in the living room. I hadn't heard a door open so I jerked awake and crept over to the door and peeked out. It was the Beast! Jerk!
I told him he should make some noise coming into the house when I am here alone. He just laughed and said he thought I might be asleep when he saw the dish rags and things had been folded. I knew that sleep was out of the question after that so I got busy. I made both beds up. I wanted to change the spread on the guest bed and found out later that we won't have Chewlee this weekend. Her *other papa* is coming up here so she will spend the weekend with him. Until probably Sunday around noon and THEN I will get her. He's trying to spend as much time as possible with her (in person) before he goes back to Afghanistan and then they will only visit on Skype.
The Princess made a variation of Shepherd's Pie and brought some over for us, too. It has tomatoes, tomato sauce and some chopped jalapeno in it and it was delicious. I had never had that type before but, hey, I didn't have to cook dinner...LOL.
I made the apple crisp up when the Beast went to church for his Bible Study night. It didn't take long. The hardest part is the peeling and slicing up the apple but I wasn't make a big casserole or anything. I have a small casserole type dish I used so it took me all of about 20 minutes to put everything together. My big mistake was I didn't really use enough oatmeal in the topping but it still turned out well. Nice and crisp and the apples were cooked and seasoned just right. There will be around four or five servings from it (I've had one already...LOL). That will suit the Beast just fine because I predict he will eat all the rest of it.
So ends my day with me playing games on my computer and talking to Bratfink on an IM. It's almost midnight here so I need to get this posted. Love you all and I wish you a fantastic Friday. Chewlee got a smiley face today...just for your information. I hope you enjoyed the pictures of her I posted yesterday. She's really quite a character at times. She just loved what the Beast had done to her picture.
Drive carefully. Be happy and I hope you have great weather, too. That always helps MY attitude. **wink**
