Golf and Breakfast Sammiches...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

Chris's company golf tournament was this past Friday... I'm not a golfer... we'll I'd never golfed before...  Do you golf?.. is it possible to actually improve?.. The way I played it doesn't seem so to me!..  

Unfortunately the batteries in our little camera were dead... and I didn't want to drag out the big slr... for fear of misplacing it... golfing with alcoholic beverages equals greater potential for losing important items...


iPhone took a few shots before it's battery died... I've noticed that I have quite a few looking down at my feet shots... from my whole photo library... not just golfing... I'll have to make a post of those shots... just don't want to attract foot creeps!..


Being a non golfer I was unsure of what to wear golfing... I went for the sailor look... can't go wrong with that...


The weather was beautiful... I chased some geese...  caught a lady bug... had a nap in a sand pit...


...got sand in my chucks...


Near the end I gave up the kicks... and socks... it got too hot...  our team kicked ass and had a ton of fun!

Yesterday the neibs and I had a yard sale... Not a big turnout of people though... it was sorta weird... maybe yardsaling is more of a spring/summer thing?..  it's sorta Fallish out... well not sorta... it is!.. it's cold in the mornings now... but its still getting quite hot out during the day...

Today?.. super lazy laundry day... we did groceries with tea early this morning... picked up a few paint chips at Home Depot... I think I wanna paint both of the upstairs bathrooms...

Then... from Pinterest I also found this wicked recipe... it's something sort of obvious... but I didn't realize that these could be frozen... so I've a doz. made for breakfasts this week... 


One of us just has to toss two in the oven when we get up... it can cook while we're getting ready for work... then we'll grab them on the way out the door!..


I sorta feel like making something... not sure what... finishing a project that is almost complete?.. hmm... I've also been feeling super tired the past two days... I somehow managed to tweak my neck... my knee... and my ankle golfing...  maybe a nap is in order... yes... a nap...

What have you gotten up to this weekend?

Just Made These...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

Thanks to Neib A I'm addicted to Pinterest... IT'S AWESOME... go check it out...  Usually when I find ideas that I like online I'll drop the web address on my desktop... then it'll get dropped into a folder and forgotten about... well Pinterest is an online pin board of ideas... endless...

Found this neat-o recipe there this morning... it's what I call a cheater recipe... like the Christopher's Pound Cake that I make using cake mix... this uses cookie mix... and you add some things too it... super easy... and effin tasty!..


It mixes up really easy... I think next time I'll use real butter... just threw in Lactancia this time...


Didn't have Cream de Menthe chocolate chips... just used regular old semisweet chips and chunks...


...sorta ended up eating cookie dough for supper... eating a super healthy salad now... hopefully it'll counteract the cookie dough...


...plop... drop them on... and bake away... I found 10 minutes worked best...


The first batch was sorta lame and flat... just look at the last picture... flat city... I was making potato roasters... on the rack underneath... I think that hindered the baking of this first batch...

The following batches came out looking great!.. bringing these to work in the morning... do not want these left in the house... we'd eat them all!..

Finished the big fall clean this morning... the kitchen and front room... walls and floors washed... carpet steamed... living room snuggle blankets all washed... all that is left is to wash the window blinds... and windows... then go through a few things like under the kitchen sink... spare bathroom closet... just little stuff... AHHH... it's so nice to have the house scrubbed down...  next weekend YARD SALE!.. time to get rid of some things that have not been used for awhile...  What did you get up to this long weekend?

Getting a Jump on Fall Cleaning...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

...I think it was late September last year when I Fall cleaned... yesterday Furs and I began the big Fall clean... and we're almost done... we washed walls... steamed carpets... washed all sheets and blankets... made it down and through the living room... kitchen and front room are all that are left... those are coming later today... I want to get cleaning finished today so that we can get the furnace cleaners in next weekend... I can't turn on the furnace until I get it cleaned... too effin dusty in there...  and its starting to be rather chilly in the mornings!.. 

...time for a shopping break!.. Ikea has an insane sale on their duvet's... $14.99 for any size... sale ends today... and then onto Homesense... *purrrr*...

Oh yeah!..got a BissellProHeat2x yesterday morning... you should see the dirt that thing takes up out of the carpet!.. AND COUCH!.. gonna have a super squeaky clean house after this Fall clean...  I can't wait... the cold weather is making me nesty... need to bake and cook... and make things... just don't feel like doing all of that in a house thats not been given a good scrub down in awhile... clean up a mess before making a new one!.. we may put in the faucets that we bought this spring today too... for the bathrooms...  I'll be sure to take photos and post...

...gotta get ready to go out with Neib Amy for a shopping adventure...
