I got 6 more plants in the ground. And 2 "mysteriously" jumped in my car at the nursery I found myself at... 6 steps forward, 2 steps back. 8 left to plant.

I did buy a new hoe, a saddle or stirrup hoe that you run across the ground (can get under my rock mulch) and it cuts off weeds at the soil. It's hinged and you push and pull. Such an old effective tool I've seen a hundred times, so why have I never gotten one before? Another garden mystery. It made quick work of all my weeds. So much better than hand pulling!

It's getting warm here. Mid-80s coming. It was 76 today.

Not much else to report... Except I got Wordle in 2! Nice start to the day.

Hope you all are well!

Inspired by all the cooking here, I texted DH an ingredient list for white chicken chili. Hmmm, maybe it's not the cooking, but the shopping I'm finding tedious because once I got home and found all the ingredients neatly stacked on the kitchen table, it was easy to put it together (Well, the chicken was in the fridge, but right in front, not buried in the back, so easy peasy).

Tomorrow is DHs birthday! He turns 65. He won't go on Medicare yet, because I can keep him on my insurance until August. I already bought his present earlier. He wanted a Celtic Cross on a chain, and I wanted him to pick it out, so we went shopping at an Irish store in St. Paul. So tomorrow we will go out to dinner, and I bought a tiny cake from his favorite bakery. It will be a quiet celebration with just the two of us.

White Lotus was intriguing. For me, Posey Parker's character Victoria was the most fascinating.

We had a staff meeting today and my principal said as I was walking in, just a couple more of these for you! Yes, probably 2: May and June. My 4th hour class has made up a story that I am an international spy and the reason I'm "retiring" is because I am being reassigned to a new spy project. I guess I've done a good job staying undercover until now, with my middle aged lady ways, non descript car and modest house. Pretty sure my next assignment will involve lots of travel.

I remember my SIL going to Jazzercise classes! What I really want to do is the bungee fitness exercise classes! Looks so fun!

In college, I had a Jazzercize LP ( I didn't have a VHS player for several more years). The LP came with a booklet with drawings about how to do the exercises. We loved it!! My roommates and I would put on the Jazzercize record and jazz our little hearts out after dinner. Good times :)

Greetings all

Sun is out big. Scrabble today where I won one of three but better than last week. My game is slipping. Gotta work on that.

Great looking recipes. And doable. Might try the chicken. But of course that takes planning to have stuff on hand.

I went up to the gallery a while ago and took some new stuff. Mainly just wanted to drive along the ocean so it is a good excuse. Eye drops continuing. I don't have to show up until 8 for the procedure unless they call and bump me up like last time. Meanwhile the house gets cleaned tomorrow and the yard got mowed today. And boy do my sinuses know it.

We watched the finale of 1923 - the prequel to Yellowstone. Too much shooting for me and so drawn out. Went on forever. Glad it is over. Back to Dexter.

Liz get well soon. Cold not needed on plane ride.

Paula good on you for treadmill. Some of the old workout tapes are great. Do it!

I am skipping my treadmill today. Just not feeling it. What I feel like is a nap. Might make it so

126.3. Calories at or below 1200. Mostly below.

Did a 30 minute interval treadmill workout today. Wasn't really feeling it! Lol! Thinking I should throw in my Jane Fonda step Video from the early 90's. Love that workout. I even dubbed it to a DVD from the original VHS! Man I'm old! I could pull out my abs and buns of steel videos too!

Worked on my Bible study for a bit today but will need to continue with it tomorrow.

DH and I are watching Love is Blind, silly show where people date in pods without seeing each other and then if there is a connection, they get engaged before seeing each other, go on a tropical vocation, move in together and then have a wedding (all within a few months)where they will either say yes or no to staying together forever! Stupid but mildly entertaining!

Leftovers for dinner. Easy Peasy for me!
