It was more fun than I thought to make dinner with the Princess today. I made the salad and the meatloaf while she peeled the potatoes, mashed them and then put together a casserole that tasted like twice baked potatoes. Yum! Even the Beast said (at the table) that it was a great dinner.
The only bad thing was that the Princess, when she plugged in my mixer, accidentally pulled the plug on the coffee. Ask me how I found out? LOL. I went to make a pot of coffee later in the evening, after they were back in their RV, and discovered that the pot was COLD! It was a real shock. I knew immediately that it had either been accidentally shut off or unplugged. I'm pretty sure she thought she had unplugged the coffee grinder. Unfortunately, it wasn't true. If you have a Bunn coffee maker, you know it doesn't take long for the tank to cool down.
But, I really did get a kick out of the two of us, working in the kitchen together, got a nice dinner made and we sat down to eat together. Only Johnnycakes was late because he was sleeping and she didn't want to wake him. He usually only gets about six hours of sleep before he has to eat and then get ready for work. At least the meatloaf and the potato casserole were still warm when he woke up and came over to the house.
She had gone out and bought him a birthday cake since today was his birthday. She usually makes his cakes but that's difficult to do when she had actually forgotten it was his birthday today until after she dropped Chewlee off at school. The cake was from the Walmart bakery and I was surprised that the butter cream frosting was not super sweet like they usually are. I like to buy the Publix ones with the whipped cream frosting. Once you have those, you are spoiled for life! Nothing else is usually palatable but this one surprised me.
I was going through my clothes and thinking about what I wanted to pack for my trip next week and made a horrible discovery that truly has me puzzled. One of the new pair of jeans that I bought two weeks ago is totally missing! I kid you not. I searched the house, went through all the closets, inspected every hangar, went through my drawers and even my pajama bin. I looked in the couches and slid my hand down into the sides of the recliners. Hey, you never know. But they are gone.
They happen to be my favorite ones. I got the boot cut and bought the extra long so I could cuff them. They were comfortable and I was sure that I had put them into my hamper to be washed. But they weren't there. I even went through the Beast's hamper thinking he might just have seen the jeans and thought they were his. He bought some new jeans for himself a couple weeks ago and he wouldn't think of holding them up to himself to check. That's something I think only women do.
I will have to go to one of the resale shops in the area (and we have quite a few) and see what I can find. My old pants are all about 3 sizes too big on me. I weighed myself when I was at the doctors office the other day to get the result of my sonograms and I still weigh in at 120. *Grin*
Today was another overcast and dreary day. Both the Princess and I missed out on the eclipse AND seeing the red moon last night. But at least a few people got some nice pictures of it and posted them on FB. No chance for tonight either. Oh well. She will live to see the next one. Only I doubt that I will but you never know....LOL.
Love you all. Please be cautious when driving. Dress appropriately. Stay healthy and don't forget to get your flu shot. I should get mine tomorrow at my regular doctor's office, I hope. Otherwise, it means I head back to Walgreen's to get it again. I kind of like the idea that my shot means some child in a third world country will receive their shots. You might think about that when you get yours.
