Today was *make the corned beef day* and so that's what I did. I had originally thought I would put it in our slow-cooker but, after talking with Cee, I decided to just boil it. I normally do that but I guess I was just being a bit lazy so I wouldn't have to check on things like you do when you are boiling it. I mean having to make sure the veggies you add to it near the end of the cooking time for the corned beef are done. It's so easy to underestimate the amount of time you need for the potatoes.
Today, however, everything worked out with just having to add another 15 minutes to be done just perfect. The Beast had gone to the store to get the rye bread (and also picked up some Chicago Italian bread...Yum!) since he wanted the rye bread to be fresh and perfect, too. He's a real pain in the butt about *fresh* bread at times but I digress. Cee set the table, I cut the corned beef and piled up the veggies on a big platter then.....we ate! OMG! It was just so delicious. Even the Beast kept saying how great everything tasted. Cee and I agreed and we all ate until we felt stuffed. Cee stayed for a while afterward but felt the need to go home and take a nice nap. I wanted to nap, too, but had some wash that needed folding and some that needed to be hung up as soon as the dryer stopped so I put it off.
Unfortunately, by that time, I was awake again so I kept busy doing other things, including getting out the things that I want to get painted (figurines) because I have plans for them. I had to sort through them so that I was sure I had everything that went together and make sure I had enough sealer for them all. I did and I do...LOL. Tomorrow.....I paint.
Once that was done, I made the mistake of going to check my FB page and see the new posts. I swear, there are more new posts from family and friends on the weekend than all week long. I spent HOURS on it and my eyes were starting to cross even though I didn't read everything or watch all the videos. I guess I was helped (a little) by the fact that I could just scroll past a lot of things that had been posted...some many times over...before today. But I never DID finish up reading everything before I had to quit so I could keep my eyes open to do my blog.
So I am sure you will forgive me for posting this without any more fanfare because I am incredibly tired. I don't want to end up sleeping the day away since it's supposed to be another nice day tomorrow and I don't want to miss it. I'm showered, in my jammies and have preheated my part of the electric blanket and am SO ready.
Love you all. Hope you have a great week and are almost done with your Christmas shopping. I have to wait for my SS check to come in (direct deposit) before I can figure out what I can spend on the kiddies. Car insurance must come first, as you well know. Big fines if you get caught without it being current, don't you know...LOL. Smile for the hellofit and laugh long and loud. Laughing is good for your health and well-being it's been proven so enjoy yourself. Relax and enjoy life. Don't stress. Remember...you are LOVED and are worth loving. ***Hugs***
