Sunscreen and Crank Bait

Okay so the boyfriend is outside all the time. He runs a tennis academy. Well when he was younger, he didn't always use sunscreen or would forget to put it on his lips.

Well don't forget sunscreen!

He went to dermatologist yesterday and they gave him a shot in his lip and cut out a huge chunk of precancerous cells out. They also cut two places out of his face. He's had lots of places cut out, but your face and lips is a little more obvious that your arms or legs. Anyway, this is my public service announcement to everyone. Wear your sunscreen or face some pretty painful consequences.

So my pot roast with horse radish dipping sauce was awesome last night. Hayley told me earlier this year that she hates pot roast and won't eat it. Well she and her friend ate it for dinner. I had saved some leftovers to have for lunch today. I got up this morning and Hayley ate my leftovers after I went to bed. WTH?

So I picked out my own lure for the fishing tournament tomorrow. Oh yea....the tournament last week....the winner caught ONE fish. Fishing is not good right now. We had a cold front come in last night, so maybe that will stir things up????? Anyway, I bought a crank bait. It is really cute with some blue and yellow. I'm not letting my boyfriend put that pom pom thing on my line anymore.



So this should be a great weekend for camping. 50s at night and 80s during the day. Have a great weekend!

Adventures in Cooking This Week and My First Fishing Tournament

Well first, I must apologize to Hayley. She went to the store to get some frosting and muffin cups so she could make cupcakes for her coworker's birthday. She goes to mix the batter and realizes that I had hard-boiled every egg in the house. Oops. I wanted them for spinach salads. She calls me at work and asks if there is anything you can use to substitute for eggs. I do a Google and not anything I keep at the house....TOFU? Really?

Anyway, she had to go back to the store and I know she was in a hurry because she had to go to work. What can I say.....Sorry Dear.

So I made some Asian Slimming Soup this week. I didn't have the cabbage so I just added lettuce. Don't do that. It makes a mess. Every time you take a spoon of soup, a big piece of stringy lettuce will drip all over your face. Other than that, the soup was okay.

I found a recipe to try this week for peppered roast beef with a horseradish sauce. Well, I accidentally bought pot roast and not roast beef. Crud. So now I have a pot roast with carrots and potatoes in the crock pot, but by goodness, I still made my horseradish sauce and it is yummy. Here's what I used:
  • Sour cream
  • Horseradish
  • Lime juice
  • Tiny bit of mustard
Anyway, it's good on my finger, so I know it'll be great on my pot roast this evening.

So the weather is going to be great in Texas this weekend. So the boyfriend who is a bass fisherman (he's won money doing this), signed us up for a tournament. This is a small tournament, so I won't be winning any new bass boats or pick up trucks. Whatever. He better give me some good bait.

He always uses different bait than me and he seems to catch more fish. WTH? Last week, he put a white pom pom thing on my line and he had a rubber worm. Really? I think I was duped. But this is for money, so hopefully, he'll fix me up right.

A few things to add

My daughter was employee of the quarter at her job at TJ Maxx. She will be there a year in December. Congratulations honey to sticking it out with an annoying retail job.

Almost had a heart attack Tuesday morning. My ex took the dogs when we divorced because my old German Shepherd, Roxanne, is very attached to my exe's young dog. Well he called me Tuesday  morning to let me know she got hit by a speeding mini-van driver.

A long, horrible story involving a neighbor screaming bloody murder, another neighbor capturing the dog, lots of lying in the street moaning.....Long story short....He took her to the vet and she has no broken bones. She went to a doggie hospital over night hooked on an IV and Tuesday morning, she was fine. He said she even had pep in her step. Whew.

The house complete re-do is finished

Here is a link to my new digs. This links shows the before and after pics.

I had a somewhat rough weekend. I rented a U-haul van to move some of my son's things into storage. There were no radio controls on the steering wheel. I'm driving a huge cargo van and I had to physically REACH over to the radio knob to turn up the volume. Well also add to the day, that we moved furniture all day, tore down a storage shed in my backyard, and shoveled a bunch of dirt to try and even out the backyard a little bit.

The boyfriend wanted to know if I wanted to come over that night....Hahaha. No. I couldn't get off the couch or get my feet out of the huge tub of hot water they were soaking in.Then to top it all off, I'm soaking my feet and I needed a wine refill.
