Dibs and dabs

Different things on my mind just now.  I'll go through them, if I may. :)
  • second son is cooking dinner now---he's the main grilling cook at a local restaurant, and here it is his only day off and what is he doing?  grilling naam and pork tenderloin---a much more delightful dinner than i could ever dream up!
  • i did make risotto on sunday night, which was delish, but so HOT to constantly stir in an already warm kitchen.  tasted wonderful, though
  • and middle daughter baked chocolate cupcakes this morning---if we do the inside cooking early, the house isn't quite so wretched later on in the day
  • feeling up to par, and don't have any reason for it---guess my internal chemicals are feeling fine
  • gary gave me his iphone---he got a new (free) phone from our cell phone provider over the weekend, and he made sure i had his old phone---it's not a new iphone, but good enough for me---have always had a flip phone, so this is a step up 
  • dreading 2 book reviews that i have scheduled to go up before the month is out---not always easy to rate a book, esp. when the majority of the reviews already up are positive---i don't set out to be different, but sometimes it seems that way
  • a mild day outside---the rain missed us, but left us with a nice, cloudy day
  • watched a good movie on netflix over the weekend (free with a deal oldest daughter signed up for)---'stone of destiny'---esp. good considering i'm of scottish descent on my dad's side
  • must go tidy now---my main squeeze will be here directly and the house needs to look like somebody's in charge
