Happy TuTuTuesday Peeps!!
Well, I think all the major work on the house from the storm damage is pretty much complete. They got the solar system up and working last week and we are producing energy again! Whew, my electric meter was getting dizzy from spinning so hard.
Ok, let's jump right in today with all the usual tom-foolery that Tuesday brings us, shall we?
Let's jump back to last Tuesday night and we had Mexi-Bowls for dinner.
First I started by roasting up all kinds of veggies
Theres's some zucchini, onion, green peppers, jalapeno peppers and Serrano peppers along with some yellow squash and cherry tomatoes. They just got a little olive oil and salt and pepper before going into a hot oven and roasting until yummy.
While that was cooking, I started some cilantro lime rice in the rice cooker.
There was some kind of beef in there but darned if I remember what it was. In any case, it was just delicious! It's topped with a little guacamole and some Trader Joe's taco sauce.
\Wednesday, we had the solar folks here along with the guy painting the iron railing on our balcony.
For some reason I decided to put on regular clothing, I probably had grandiose plans of leaving the house but alas, I did not. We also had leftovers for dinner so I failed to take any photos.
Thursday must have been weird because I have no pics of dinner or clothing. I did in fact leave the house to go to Central Market, Sam's Club and we did have Carne Asada Taco's for dinner. I picked up the carne asada and veggies pre-marinated from Central Market along with the famous HEB tortillas because IYKYK. Those tortillas are the bombastic.
Friday, I was in a hurry because MereBear and Reygun would be at our house in the early afternoon so my clothing pic has me brushing my teeth. Multi-tasking. Hey, I did remember a pic!
I made a quick run to WallyWorld to pick up a few things we still needed and then I got home to begin the holiday weekend fun.
Friday night for dinner I made one of the recipes that we had previously from Hello Fresh, I didn't order it I had saved the recipe card.
Now, this is where things sort of go off the rails because I totally forgot to take pictures of pretty much everything so they'll be some explanations forthcoming.
I DID take a picture of the most unhealthy but delicious breakfast on Saturday morning.
I alternated little powdered donuts & strawberries to form the stripes then added a little bowl of blueberries in the corner. We ate it all throughout the day and none of us are ashamed.
I also tried my hand at the viral Dot Cakes....it's cake people with a lot of sprinkles. We all agreed that it's fun but we'd just as soon just have the cake with a few less sprinkles.
Here's a shot of the kitchen island filled with all the non-healthy options for prime snacking.
We had some pool time and this swimsuit was from WallyWorld last summer. I keep it packed in my holiday clothing box and NEVER in a million years did I think I'd post a pic of myself in a swimsuit but here we are.
This is an old t-shirt from a little boutique and it's the perfect swimsuit coverup for hanging out around the pool.
Later after we got out of the pool I threw this little festive outfit on.
The whole outfit is from Amazon and here's a close up of the shirt.
It's a really nice weight and washes and hangs dry and the shorts were an Amazon Prime Days purchase for less than eight bucks! Full disclosure, I took these pictures on Monday because I forgot to take any on Saturday. I pulled them from the dirty clothes pile to try on and take pics.
We had hotdogs, those amazing beans from Sam's Club, deviled eggs, some corn and there were plant based sausage dogs and vegetarian beans for the Mere bear. There was also broccoli salad but I didn't eat that.
Little Rouxby Sue had so much pool time, she had to sit in the shade for a bit to dry off before dinner.
Sunday- we all headed back out for some more pool time before the girls headed back home.
Rouxby is always the first one in the pool
and then she stole my chair
While we were in the pool a little rain shower came up and it was so hot that the Mere, Rouxby and I stayed in the pool. Hubster and Reygun moved under the porch to watch soccer.
T-shirt (old) shorts (27)
After getting out of the pool and getting some food packed up for the girls, we sent them on their way and then later hopped over to The Lakehouse for a quick dinner with the neighbors.
I had the Texas BLT minus the cheese and it was absolutely delicious!
Also, these clothes also came out of the dirty laundry pile for a pic. At least I remembered at some point!
I totally forgot yesterday's clothing pic but everything was old and we had leftovers for dinner.
I had a cut up hotdog in the baked beans. Honestly, I can't remember what Hubster ate.
I spent all of Monday, cleaning up the house, doing laundry and generally getting things back in order after doing nothing for 3 days.
This morning I threw on the old shorts from Wallyworld and my old concert t-shirt from the Black Keyes.
I'm mostly bumming around, trying to get some desk work done and occasionally stopping to peruse some of the preview pages of the big Nordstrom sale coming up.
This week is just a catch up week because next week is busy, busy, busy.
Let's move on and do the wrap up, shall we?
Reading: I'm currently reading the new Lucy Foley, Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel.
It doesn't release until September 22, but NetGalley was kind enough to give me an Advanced Reader copy.
In case you wondered, I'm STILL plugging away at The Goldfinch.
Watching: We watched a few more episodes of The Bear, but soccer seems to be taking on a life of its own. Do I understand it? Nope Do I still enjoy watching? You betcha!
I also have watched a new Christmas in July movie and have a few more taped. Nothing like a good Christmas movie when it's a hundred degrees outside! haha
That's a wrap for today because I need to get my booty out of this chair for a few minutes and get some other things done around here!
Peace, Love, & TuTu's
