Saturday Updates

Here's an another ramble, but probably more upbeat - hah.

Ribs are waiting until Sunday -- I forgot about a Costco chicken pack that needed to be cooked.  I use Pioneer Woman's Cowboy chicken marinade recipe and it's awesome.  Because of this recipe, I started filleting the chicken breast thin -- makes for the best chicken, quicker than pounding thin.

In case you're curious:
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup spicy mustard
1 tsp paprika
1 lemon squeezed
1 tsp salt
hot pepper flakes to taste -- 4 hours minimum

P.S. NOT Whole30, but I already declared no attention to marinades, etc.  I've done enough STRICT W30s to know this doesn't change anything.

I went to bed extra early last night.  I had a mid-afternoon stomachache and headache that left me yucky all evening.  I think I was rundown -- feel a lot better this morning.  I actually woke up 15 minutes before my alarm.  My head is clearer when I'm not sound asleep at wake up time.  That said, it was mentally rough to get up at 5 o'clock on a SATURDAY -- who does that?  Me -- since I don't work and have no Friday social life LOL -- this morning is no different than a weekday.

Today is the busiest of the 2 weeks.  We're headed to the Farmer's Market with our little dog in lieu of his long morning walk (after I brainstormed ideas of things-to-do).  It's fun to walk around and see the food and crafts.

Then (once the kids confirm) we're "shopping" rehearsal dinner places.  2 left on the list -- nothing good so far.  The wedding is in a small town with not many choices.  My vote is to bring the rehearsal to our area, but that wasn't well received :)  We'll figure out something.  It's the kid's choice with a few financial parameters on our part.  They have good taste and a good vision for the wedding -- I trust what they choose.

I'm going to the Unity Church service tomorrow.  I went once with my friend and tried the meditation ahead of the service too.  Unless I'm up and ready early, I'm only going to the service.  The meditation was okay, but not worth getting up early.  Tomorrow is a rest workout day and I'm going to sleep an extra hour (we'll probably be out later for dinner).  This is about my SOLO entertainment.  Get out and DO THINGS -- makes me feel better every time.  I like the idea of going alone.

I ordered a cheap dress from Cents of Style and it came yesterday.  Plan to wear it tomorrow and I'll grab a picture -- needs an iron desperately.  I haven't tried it on yet either -- looks like it will fit, but don't know how it will look.  Stay tuned ...

TREAT today is THE DAY.  Finally full and fun.
TOOL is be PRESENT.  I've been moaning and groaning all week about my boring week(s) -- I need to pay attention to a nice day.

Have a great Saturday -- I'm hoping for the same too.  Later gators.
