- enjoying listening to Carlos and the neighbor play on their slip 'n slide--the giggles, the squeals, the exchange of ideas :)
- contemplating sweeping and mopping the house (which I should be doing right now, but I won't have internet access tonight and I'm shriveling up without the internet and blogging, so I'm going to start blogging during the 8 hours we have internet access. I'll save the "internet saga" for another post)
- missing my baby doll (the twelve-year-old baby doll). Can't wait to call her tomorrow :)
- excited about putting up a small shelving system in Carlos' closet so we can organize his toys (finally!)
- thinking it felt soooo good to splurge on a spa manicure/pedicure with Ashley last Sunday that I want to splurge again on a manicure tomorrow. I probably won't break down and do it, though :)
- feeling blessed because I just asked Carlos for a hug and he actually obliged me--a rare treat indeed
And on that positive note, I'll log off and get busy because the floor is calling my name (*huge grunt*) :(
By the way, the OssoBucco was sooooo yum! I had forgotten exactly how "yum" it was. I loosely based it on this recipe (click on OssoBucco) and another recipe I had for Osso Bucco. I didn't have any of the fancy ingredients from Emeril's recipe, so I just skipped them, lol! Hubby liked it a lot, too, and he's hard to please, so that felt really good :) And, Teena, I was going to make steamed rice as well as the risotto, but by the time I got to that point, I was "done" in the kitchen, if you know what I mean. So I had decided he would have to suffer with risotto; however, he actually liked how well it goes with the Osso Bucco, so I lucked out *whew!*
