Crackericious!

It is always dangerous for me to sit home alone.  I make too many trips to the fridge or the pantry and though I walk away empty handed after I talk myself out of it, within the next hour  I find myself back at it.  I saw a small packet of goldfish crackers in the pantry so to satiate my "need" and stop myself from this oh-yes-you-do and oh-no-you-don't tug of war, I grabbed it. How harmless can goldfish crackers be?  Well, not so!!   After 3 bites, my mouth was burning.  I looked at the packet and it said - Hot 'n Spicy Cheddar.   Wha???  Now I need to wash this off with strawberry ice cream.  NOT. COOL >%#!!

Spelling (Dang!) Manor

The recently sold property (for a bargain they said at $85M from its $150M asking price!) has a bowling alley, a beauty salon and an 18th-century-style garden.  Why build a house like a hotel?  I guess you think that way when you have lots of money to work with.   Thanks to the masses like me who loved watching Charlie's Angels and Love Boat.  Never got on Dynasty and Beverly Hills 90210.   I am still in awe at how much showbiz personalities make.

I bet the only room that was always occupied was the beauty salon (yes! This house has one!) - if someone was home, that is.

This is green-with-envy me, reporting.  Back to you.

I knew I went downstairs to do something

An hour after I had lunch, I was by myself in the middle of our house in the first floor.  I knew I came down to do something.  While trying to remember what it was, I went to the bathroom.  In the bathroom I thought "When was the last time I cleaned my floors?"  So I went ahead and cleaned the floors.  Then I came by the sink and saw unwashed dishes.  Hmmm .... after cleaning the floors, I washed the dishes.  I opened the refrigerator and "surveyed" what I can eat.  Strawberries!  I took that and Nutella (yes! they are good together!), then went upstairs, turned on the TV and put my feet up.  As I was eating, I gleefully remembered why I went down earlier - to see if the comforter in the dryer is already dry!!  How silly for me to forget!  When I finished the strawberries, I was thirsty so went downstairs to quench my thirst.  At the corner of my eye, I saw several pairs of shoes and sandals by the front door.  I arranged them neatly and took the boots and some shoes with me upstairs to store for the next season.  Then I continued watching HGTV. 

"There was a reason why I came down. What was it now?"  

The comforter was folded and stored away after dinner when hubby needed to use the dryer.

My weekend in a nutshell.

I got me a coffee grinder!

I made my first pot of brewed coffee with freshly ground coffee.  I was underwhelmed :(  I guess I need to experiment on how finely I should grind the beans next time.
