What's on your Wednesday Menu?

Mornin' mornin' kids! What's happening?
Hmmm my life is boring. Sometimes I don't even realize how boring it is until I come to post here and realize that yet another day has passed and all I have to show for it is writing another paper, making more cookies, and prepping for cookie classes. I'm not unhappy--it's a great life! But it just doesn't have a lot of variation.
Although, tonight Grim says we are doing "something". I don't know what it is, and he is being weird and coy about it--saying he told me, and then admitting he has not told me? I am super confused. But whatever it is, it's happening at 6:30pm and "could" include dinner, but might not? Ok. No idea--I just hope I am dressed appropriately :) I guess I will have something interesting to report tomorrow, haha.
QOTD: Write a title for your memoir. Since Tina Fey already took Bossypants, I will go with Tough Cookies.
Accountability: No extras (yay!) but I subbed a protein bar for dinner because I was lazy.
B: Protein coffee & chicken
L: roast beef
D: ?? it all depends on whatever is happening tonight, I guess?

You have more interesting stories and have had careers than anyone I have ever met. If I were you I would steal, "Everything Everywhere All At Once" :)
You are right and I am going to get that book written one of these days. I still think there might be something else I want to accomplish. In the 50's there was an artist who went by Grandma Moses. She began her painting career at 78 and was very popular and sold a lot of paintings. I believe it is never too late to try something new.

Agreed--its never too late to try something new!
I grew up with a wonderful Grandma Moses painting over our couch when I was a kid. I used to love looking at all of the little farm houses and imagining all of the people and their lives :)
I take an abstract painting class every Sunday and I LOVE it. I call it my middle-aged hobby. I'm not very good but I love it - it's an amazing community of women (no idea why, but it's all women) and we meet for coffee before and it's just a wonderful four hour period all for ME! I highly recommend looking at your local art center/art school's website and trying it out!

Good mornin everyone! QJB, I am in awe of you sometimes. The way you pursue your dreams. I know it is boring to you sometimes but I know I'm not alone when I say you inspire us more than a tad. Hope you have a blast tonight!
Not a lot planned for the day. Secretly hoping for a stay at home kind of day. Since the doctor was out yesterday I should hear from them today about the pain pump crap. I don't even know what to expect.
thanks to a particularly large batch of stuff I made for my friend/boss I was able to get a small laptop yesterday. Nothing fancy but I like it. Hopefully I'll be back to taking photos again soon with my big camera!
QOTD: mine would be "Life in Color". It's also a song by Onerepublic.
B: JUST egg, sausage and half a pan crisped hash brown + coffee of course
L: ????
D: Most likely veggie lasagna
S: cheese and ????

That's sweet--I am excited to have been afforded a year to do something completely different! Now I just daydream about how I can keep it going, but I don't think it will be an option again until I "retire".
