What's top of my mind: The Russia Ukraine situation is on top of my mind. I watch Aljazeera news and the stories are just heartbreaking. Seeing this really makes you appreciate all that you have a little more. I can't see this ending well at all for anyone. You can try to be prepared as much as much as possible which I've always done but some things you just can't be prepared for. Especially if you have to flee your country or hunker down in underground spaces. I just can't even imagine how these people are feeling.
Where I've been: Another week of home, work and we did make a local stop at a grocery store to top things off.
Where I'm going: This week looks to be exactly the same.
What I'm watching: I had Instant Family and Sweet Home Alabama on the TV while I cleaned the kitchen. I've seen both before a few times. Instant Family is based on a true story and such a sweet/funny movie. The big guy and I watched Don't Look Up. It was interesting and a bit disturbing to see the ridiculousness that is actually reality now.
What I'm reading: Still reading Plenty.
What I'm listening to: Nothing. I've had TV on instead of music this week while I do things around the house.
What I'm eating:
Who needs a good slap: I know there are a lot of people that need a good slap. There are just too many to single out one person this week.
What I'm planning: We actually have two parties to attend in March. A birthday party and a delayed wedding reception. That hasn't happened since 2019. I'm actually pretty excited.
What's making me smile: The weather did not make me smile this week but I think it may this coming week. We started out the week very cold and then it warmed up on Tuesday. Wednesday the temperatures tanked and we had sleet for over 24 hours and it hasn't been above freezing since. There is still a bit of sleet outside now. Tomorrow is supposed to start a week in the 50's and 60's so that will make me smile.
How was your week? Anything planned for the coming week?
Stay safe and pay attention to all the good that is still out there.
Sleet is never nice.... Ughhhh... Sighhhhh
ReplyDeleteOur snow was not a huge storm, which was nice. Staying cold though. Winter is not done with us yet. And nothing we can do about it. :-)
I am in a Hate To Cook phase. I am often this way, but now, it is worse. -sigh- If only we had a personal chef! LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
It was so cold we still have patches of sleet everywhere. It's warming up here this week which I am happy about.
ReplyDeleteI don't get in hate to cook phases but I was in a not very creative phase this week.
It's a heartbreaking state right now. We'll keep our ears clued for any changes. Your meals sound really delicious and I really would like a slice of the pizza.
ReplyDeleteIt is a bad situation. My friend is leaving tomorrow to go to Poland and bring her mother here. So I'm going to have that on my mind until she returns.
DeleteAt least the food it good.
ReplyDeleteIt was.
DeleteI think you've seen what's coming up for me this week. Otherwise, everything seems to be going better. I'm glad you had a better week than I did.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping this all ends up in your favor and that this will be a good week for you.
DeleteUkraine is at the top of my thoughts and has me on the edge of tears often. I feel so helpless. But I will be busy sewing if I can ever get in there.
ReplyDeleteI've shed tears over it. It is just unimaginable to me to have something like this happen.
DeleteI think your menus are very adventurous! More so than mine. The pizza looks so good! I am heartbroken for the people of Ukraine and yes I pray for them, that God will deliver them from this evil pestilence that has been visited on their country. I am devastated for the children that have been killed and their families, and poor President Zelensky, with kill squads hunting for him and his family. Just terrifying and so evil. God help us. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenny!
DeleteA friend of mine is flying out today to go to Poland and get her Mother to bring her here. I am beyond worried.
What is happening is so atrocious.
I meant to say also, we are leaving soon for Oklahoma and our Andrew's wings ceremony! We are so excited to see them again and to hold our little Ember. I will share pictures. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear all about it. So glad that you have this to look forward to.
DeleteOf course the people of Ukraine have been on the top of my mind too. It is such a horrible situation, but I have to say, they sure are a tough bunch. I admire their tenacity!
ReplyDeleteYour meals sound delicious, and the photos you managed to get look so good! We don't always need an adventurous menu as long as we always eat well. Have a great week Lori - hugs!
They are a lot tougher than I think Putin imagined they would be. It's nice to see a country pulling together like that but so very sad at the same time.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great week as well.
