Buckets Grill & Pub

Mommies Night Out was great. I enjoyed some yummy deep fried dill pickles and some adult conversation. The restaurant has live music on Saturday nights too!

Buckets Grill & Pub is located in downtown Mayodan @ 211 W. Main Street.

Sam's Club-Kraft Two Weeks of Meals

Includes recipes and shopping list. Lots of yummy looking recipes. Since I have been cooking more lately, I need help with ideas of different things to make. I get tired of the same old thing all the time.

My back

has been giving me a fit for the past few days. I think it came from over doing it in the pool with Cerdwin. I have been trying to take it easy and not aggravate it any more. It seems to be all muscle related at this point. It does not feel like the typical episodes I have when one of the herniated discs starts bulging more and putting pressure on my sciatic nerve. I have been taking some muscle relaxers and soaking in a hot tub with Epsom Salts. I can move around a little better today. I don't want to end up bed ridden for half the summer like I was last year.

The new do...

There is nothing really special or exciting about it. It is pretty much the same cut I always get, just a little shorter. I did get highlights. I think it has to be one of the best cuts I have ever had though. It was super easy to dry & style it today. Never even had to touch it with a brush or comb.

I just love Marlene Mabe at Head Turner Design in downtown Madison. Cerdwin thinks she is great too.

Never ending questions from a preschooler

Do you ever have those days when you have just had enough of the constant queries from your preschooler? Whew! Thankfully mine has never gone through the Why Phase. Cerdwin is very inquisitive though and very specific about what she asks. Our most recent has been, "How long does this take?" We get that instead of Are we there yet? or Is it done? and "How do they make (insert object) in a factory. She will not accept simple explanations and many times we end up having to consult a book or the WWW. YouTube has become a very good friend! She enjoys the short videos we find of various things being made.

Going to get a hair cut

Yeah, I know... such exciting news, huh? It really is a treat for me these days. I used to go every 3 weeks, but nowadays I find it hard to even make it every 3 months. Cerdwin is getting hers cut too. I think I will get highlights too!

First time...

the van has been hand washed since I bought it last year in April! I decided to tackle the beast yesterday. I haven't hand washed one of my vehicles in several years. The automatic car washes just don't get the bugs off or clean the wheels though. My back just doesn't handle it very well at all and of course it took me half the day to do it. I had to do one section, then rest, another section, then rest. Then I had to clean the wheels. Whew! That was rough. I had to get on my hands and knees on the ground to do those. I can't bend or squat long enough to get all that break dust off the wheels. Afterward I felt like my arms were going to fall off. Today my neck and shoulder muscles are sore. But my van is CLEAN! Whoohoo!

No melt downs

Cerdwin didn't have a melt down when we dropped Makaela off. She did however ask to see Makaela several times on Sunday.
