Domestic Diva (and stuff) ...

texchanMy (inner) Domestic Diva is quite pleased with herself. I made lunch for myself (from scratch) two days in a row now. *shock* Nothing super challenging: just a really nice scramble of eggs, some turkey, green onions, fresh spinach, and a little cheese. Simple, but really very good. Plus, I need to use the eggs. Somehow, I ended up with almost 3 dozen eggs in my fridge. I would have to live about a billion years to use that many eggs, so ... yeah, it's a challenge. I can't really figure out how this happened, although I suspect it has a lot to do with my parents' recent visit. My mom did some baking, so she probably got eggs for that -- not realizing we already had eggs. Then, the last time I went to the store, I bought eggs, too. Again, not realizing I had some in the fridge already. Anyhow, I'm on a mission to use some of these eggs. (Not an easy mission, as eggs are not my favorite food.) Plus, as soon as I mentioned it over the phone last night, my mom volunteered that it wasn't her fault. Which makes me suspect, even more, that she was responsible for at least one dozen.
Maybe I'll bake cookies or something. That would use up some of them, although baked goods usually go bad around here. We just don't eat them fast enough.
Tonight, I made chicken noodle soup for dinner. Hubby won't be home till around 7:30 or so, but I wanted to start ahead of time to make sure I got everything done. It doesn't take a super long time, but I have to cook when I'm in the mood to do it. Not sure if that makes sense or not, but it's the way I roll. Really, I'm doing well to be cooking at all. I've been making a concerted effort in the cooking department.
The rest of my Domestic Diva status is seriously in doubt at the moment. My house needs a good cleaning. Actually, it doesn't need cleaning so much as just straightening up. It's not really dirty, although I do need to vacuum. But, everyone in my family (including me, sadly) has a tendency toward cluttering. That kind of stuff piles up pretty quickly.
Sadly, I have not had the urge or mood or whatever to do much of anything this week. Part of it was just feeling icky and under the weather. But, part of it is a general feeling of malaise. I would almost call it laziness, but I think it's more than that. I can't summon up the energy or desire to do much of anything. I hope this passes soon. Bleh. I do have a lot of stuff to take to the donation place this weekend, though. We were supposed to take it last weekend, but it didn't work out. This weekend, it has to go. I'm tired of the bags sitting in my foyer.
Kiddo, hubby, and I all have allergies. But, my poor kiddo has them really badly right now. There's a lot of pollen in the air. Plus, it keeps raining, so that adds more gunk, once things dry out. And it has been windy. Woo Hoo -- Happy Spring. >.O
The damn mowers are back again today. I hate the mowers. Grrrrrr. At least they didn't block off our driveway this time, but I still hate them. I can hear my mother's voice in the back of my head right now, telling me that I don't really hate them. (She always did this to me as a kid, and, actually, she still does it to me now that I'm an adult -- like I don't know how I feel. Argle.) But, really ... yeah, I think I do.
On my way home from picking the kiddo up at school, I pass by a very busy little strip shopping center. It has a 7-11 and a cleaners, so there are always cars in and out of there. The street that I drive on has two driveways where cars can exit from the parking lot, both of them next to the 7-11. I always try to leave these driveways clear when I'm sitting there waiting for the light. Most other people do the same thing. Today, I pulled up close to the second driveway, but left some room in case anyone wanted to exit the parking lot -- or wanted to turn into the parking lot from the other direction. Then, out of nowhere, this man pulls his car into the space I had left! Like he had come from the back of the line of traffic to shove himself into that space, not only cutting me off but blocking off the driveway. How utterly and completely RUDE. I hope that guy had a flat tire later on. Stupid jerk. >:(
