NOT BIRD POOP (so that's good)

As soon as I settle outside with the tablet, wireless keyboard and good music, next door cranks the mower. It's soooo loud. Though, that's the least of my problems. Today I'm sick. Been indoors resting, resting, resting. Just wanted fresh air. 

Wait. What's that? Something wet landed on my left arm. I think it's rain. Yep, not bird poop. It's rain. 

So that's good. 

In other news, the Le Creuset from the last post baked like a dream. I've done two bakes and the first one needed a few more minutes in the oven due to the higher rim and the second bake required no extra time. Really love this square bake dish. I'm all about having a few solid pieces with less kitchen clutter than a bunch of crappy bake dishes that work so-so. Same goes for chalk painting tools. Give me a solid brush over those crappy ones, any day of the week. 

In other, other news, yesterday I watched Harry Met Sally or is it, When Harry Met Sally? I dunno. Either way, it's been awhile since I've seen it and it was my perfect being-sick-on-the-couch, movie. Speaking of the couch, I'm headed back there with a nice big cuppa cold water, tea or soup. Still can't decide which yet. Then read blogs and when that's done, I'll pick another movie. 

Lots of rest, rest, rest going on here today. 

Chat again soon. Huggs and Bugs, Me.

PS: Here's hoping that your day is going better than mine.

    1. Hi Sue! How do you feel today? Hopefully you're still feeling human. How'd the bake go? Do you ever put chocolate chips in banana bread? We love it!

    1. Thanks. I did rest all day yesterday. Even went back to the old Cupcake Wars. My goodness, so much drama in that show. I like the newer Spring/Summer/Holiday/Halloween bake shows better. Have a great week, Debra. Thanks for stopping in.

  9. Yeah, being sick is no fun. This is the last of it till the end of the year. It seems many get sick just before the summer. Bird poop or pee isn't so much fun, either. I remember once I was walking downtown years ago, and a pigeon pooped on me, and it got into my eye. Disgusting! I had to rinse my eye and keep a watch on it for infection, which never happened. Once, my little sister, who was always talking, and while she was running, a bird pooped, and it got in her mouth. It was pretty funny.

  11. I hope you feel better soon! Glad to hear you are enjoying your new Le Creuset piece! I use mine ALL the time. I often bake bread in my dutch oven and it turns out great every time. Okay, I love the movie When Harry Met Sally! I actually own that movie and this reminds me that I need to watch it again soon - maybe tonight. Anyway, hope you are on the mend.

    1. It's a fun movie to own. We own it as well although, during The Great Declutter of 2016, the DVD landed into the wrong pile, the donation pile. By time I noticed, the thrift store already sold it. Now we own in on digital, however, there's to me something wonderful about hard copies.

    2. That's a bummer! Do I ever miss hard copies and going to Blockbuster to pick out a movie on a Saturday night. Those were the good days! Funny thing - I actually worked at Blockbuster Video my last year in high school. Such great memories!

    3. That is cool. I used to enjoy going to pick out a movie. Good times. Was an event.

    Most importantly I'm sending lots of good wishes to you and hope you feel better soon.

    All the best Jan

  14. I saw bits of When Harry met sally years ago when it was advertised on TV, and that was more than enough for me. I didn't know Le Creuset came in square shapes. Hope you feel better soon.

  16. Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Glad it was rain and not bird poop that fell on your arm though.
    One year I was taking a week off for vacation. My plan was to spend all day out on the deck crafting. That same week my next door neighbor started construction on their garage. My plans had to change.

  20. Rain on the arm beats bird poop any day! I hope you feel better by the time you read this. I have a love-hate relationship with lawn mowers. I love them only when they are mowing my lawn and I'm not trying to concentrate on something else!

  21. Oh no, I hope you get better soon. I'm glad it was rain too :) It does sound like a good day for a movie, resting and getting better.

  27. Sorry you're feeling sick. A cup of hot soup and a good movie makes all the difference, doesn't it? You know, I don't think I've seen When Harry Met Sally, but I do love the movie Sleepless in Seattle. I've been watching a few good movies myself on tubi. And glad you got some rain. That's always a good thing.

    Take care, and feel better.
