School has begun. I’m in my new apartment. Life is pretty good right now.
I’ve started reading Little House on the Prairie before I go to sleep. It’s the perfect book to read because it requires zero brain power and also puts me in this cozy Silver Dollar City-like mood. This combined with my all-white bedding = a perfect snooze.
While we’re on the subject, a few weeks ago I found Silver Dollar City BBQ sauce at a grocery store in Stillwater, OK. Can you believe that? The moment I saw it I was so beyond words. I dropped my basket on the floor and felt this huge URGE to call everyone I love. It was the best part of my day when I saw that ax in the log in front of the beautiful golden sunset. Dad brought it to my attention that while this is really exciting, we have never eaten anything pertaining to BBQ at SDC.
I thought about bringing the kitty girls to Stillwater with me this year but, it is in their best interest to stay with Mom and Dad. My apartment isn’t stimulating enough for their kitty brains and I’m afraid they would get bored. I don’t have any pesky dogs for them to run away from, no exciting basement to explore and nothing to knock off counters because my apartment is so much cleaner than Mom and Dad’s house. ;)
Speaking of Stella Bella Kitty Girl, she had her 8th birthday on August 27th. What a girl! She got an awesome fort for her birthday that was built over her.
My planner makes me so happy. Do you remember the page in “Pat the Bunny” with the pink, blue and yellow scratch-and-sniff flowers? That’s what my planner reminds me of. Just that one single page that I somehow remember from my childhood.
We celebrated Dad’s birthday with some chicken-fried steak and mashed taters. He requested it after we watched The Pioneer Woman’s show on Food Network. Mom and I had never made this meal before because it seemed so darn intimidating. I figured only real country ladies could perfect it! Well, we did a darn good job and I’m itchin’ to cook it again. It’s either really not that difficult or Mom and I are a couple of darn real country ladies (the likely case).
