I should be cleaning house. I’m such a lazy Monday person.

My Hubby is, too.

However, he is a full tilt weekend person.

We bought a new stove, new dishwasher and new cabinets on Friday night. Now Monday, I do have a new kitchen floor, but I have no cabinets, no sink, no stove/oven and no dishwasher.  (I told you, FULL tilt)

My water’s off and I have no ambition to turn it back on (and yes, I do know how). I have very few pajamas and gowns, so my morning fashion’s are scarce (think naked, tanks and shorts or sweats)

I chose not to go outside and turn the water back on, so that means no laundry, no shower, no whatever.  I don’t care…it’s Monday. And it’s raining.

Hubby’s old school. He never pays for any installations. Ever. That‘s just the way he is. He will just do it himself.

My Kitchen is a mess. But….Life is good.

Sunday was our 36th anniversary. We went to a restaurant called Texas de Brazil in Fort Worth. If you live in a big city where there is one, (or want to look it up), you’ll know that it’s a neat place. Great food, great salad bar….not so great on the wallet….
$160.00 for 2.....
Wow.
But extremely tasty!

On a different note….Are you scared of the swine flu? I don’t know if I am or not. I trust God, but most of the people in my immediate family haven’t lived past the age of 59.  I’m 55.  So the flu is just a deterrent for me. I do fear for my grand children, though.

I got 2 of my male cats neutered in the last 2 weeks and one of them got out while Hubby was putting in the new floor. $150.00 down the drain (or out the floor, as it is).  I am pretty sure I will not get him back in. He’s a little odd. We didn’t bond.

Baby Annah’s in love with her tongue! She’s either licking something or saying “thbbbbbbaaalllllgggg”  with it. She’s 4 ½ months old and is huge! I don’t know what I will do when she’s 8 or 9 months old.

Grace (The Princess) is in San Antonio this weekend. SeaWorld is The Place to be, I guess.

Today is a rainy and gray day here in the middle of Texas.  We need the moisture, but it sure is depressing. I need sunshine. Believe it or not,  as much as I complain about the Texas summer, I can’t wait until it gets in the 90’s and 100’s.  I can get in the pool and just lay there for hours. Who knew?

About my old stove, I need to do a requiem for it. It was Hubby’s grandmother’s. His grandfather bought it brand new back in the ‘40’s and was a great looking stove. An old Wedge worth, that is huge! 4 burners and an 12X16 griddle in the middle. 46” wide. But all the knobs had twisted off and only one burner worked. No pilot light. I’m still going to miss it.
Now I have a 5 burner (ta da!) self cleaning one. I’ll be a cooking fool!!

If you’re not a face booker, you’re missing out. It’s the place to be evidently.

My oldest daughter has a website that I have listed on my face book page (Dana or TexasMammie)
www.giacoman.com and my youngest one is at www. Fourwhiddens. shutter fly.com (I think).

I am so blessed. I hope you are, too!!
