My Day

So............Today I had a few errands to run. I had to go to the vet and get dog food for Harley. She is on special food now because she had some troubles in January with her kidneys. She will be 10 in less than a month now. I can't believe she is that old! I do notice that in the past few months she has slowed down just a bit at times, but most of the time she is her usual self.
After that, I decided to go to the drug store to get a Mother's Day card. So, I stopped at the post office to mail it. Dunkin donuts is right next door.
I went and got a nice coffee. When I parked I noticed there is a vantage spot right behind the
parking lot. It was so spring-y today I decided to take a moment and my coffee and go look at the canal. I took these snaps to capture the moment. I don't usually go to Baldwinsville unless I have a purpose. Mostly I go there to pick apples, strawberries and blueberries, and Harley's vet is there. On the way back I decided go there and check out more of the town someday. It seems really charming.
I went to Target and found a couple of things on sale. I came home and had lunch with a glass of wine! Now, I don't drink wine with lunch, EVER...
I got this wine that is organic and has honey in it. I must say..... It is fantastic! I was going through the mail, and this month's issue of the DHC catalogue came and there's always a recipe in it. This month's looked so delicious, I ended up making it for supper. It is a twist on those steamed asian meatballs with the garlic and ginger in them. I replaced the pork with chicken and yum yum. The sauce was a soy-brown sugar-garlic-ginger reduction. I served it with my leftover soba noodles.
Tomorrow, the Boy comes home for one day to work and then goes back to school on Friday. I will drive him back so he can load me up with his "stuff" so he doesn't have too much next week when he vacates his dorm for summer vacation. The husband also comes home tomorrow....
He's been in Orlando this week at a Food show/seminar.

I was supposed to go, but I really couldn't take one more trip to Orlando and Disney.

saturday, we are going to Fairport for a family party. One of the husband's cousin's daughters is making her first Communion. I was thinking of making cookies, but we'll just see how far I get with that..... I am so behind in EVERYTHING lately.

I am more than a bit pack-ratty, and my husband always half-threatened to get a big dumpster and start throwing things away. A couple of months ago, I told him I am ready for that. he is getting me a dumpster, and I a going to part ways with a lot of baggage (literally). I am in the mood for a huge change. I don't know why I've put it off for so long. there was that poor lady on Dr. Phil who hoarded things. I'm not THAT bad, but I could see where there would be danger for me if I lived alone or didn't live with a neat freak. I saw that show after I had made up my mind, and it is just one more reason to do it. I don't EVER want to become that woman.....

Well, off to bed I go.

Lots of cleaning and organizing to do tomorrow!LOL
