How I spent Columbus Day weekend 2019

Saturday I took my son to the park and my daughter spent many hours hanging out in town with a new male friend of hers. I watched a movie with Katie Holmes in it called “The romantics“. I didn’t care for it. I started watching the first season of “Hannibal”. It took a few episodes for me to get into it. Sunday my boyfriends son went to his grandparents house so I went out to spend some time alone with my boyfriend. Netflix wouldn’t work so we watched a movie on Hulu called “The Clovehitch killer” Today I finished the first season of Hannibal and am a few episodes into the second season. I am addicted to this show! I did a lot of cleaning because my daughters male friend was supposed to come over but then he wound up having to help his stepdad with something and couldn’t come. I was bummed for my daughter but I got a clean house out of it. I might not have been motivated otherwise. I took my son to the park before dinner and as usual no kids were around. I tried a new recipe today and it was so delicious! It was Strawberry coffee cake muffins.

@Justbhem it’s the same thing I mentioned to you that I was going to make. I don’t know when I made muffins last. Quite some time ago! I do try to make at least one new recipe a week though.

Strawberry Coffee Cake Muffins sound delicious! I am the same way with motivation. Nothing motivates me more than hearing "company is coming."

@ScribbledAdNauseum the muffins were delicious! They were good warm and cold which is unusual for most foods. I definitely want to make them again! My house is clean and tidy but when I know someone is coming I get a bit frantic.

@ScribbledAdNauseum do you have your own room to be able to keep it how you want it?

@shaggin Mine is "Well, I tried." It's a hoarder house, but I try to keep the kitchen and bathroom clean.

@LadyDuck she keeps bugging me to let him come over on a week night now because he couldn't come over that night. Nope she needs to do her homework.

@nela13 I found the recipe on pinterest. Here it is :
Strawberry Coffee Cake Muffins *** Oh my gosh these were so delicious! So moist and full of flavor. I used frozen strawberries so I thawed them, chopped them up, strained them through a metal mesh strainer then added 1 tap cornstarch to absorb any extra mo

@shaggin Thank you, in the picture they look delicious. Pinterest can be an inspiration, can't it? When I opened your link there was also another recipe with strawberry and white chocolate looking quite good too.

@TiarasOceanView I'm addicted to this show. I don't know how many seasons there are but hopefully I get time to finish them all before my monthly subscription runs out.

When I saw your comment the other day I didn't know who Mads was that you were talking about. I just saw on Amazon prime under the episodes a list of the casts names and realize now you mean Hannibal. He's probably my least favorite actor.

My weekend was ok. I spend alot of money at Petsmart getting cat food and litter. I also got some Christmas shopping done. I got a planner for me and my uncle. I have been watching The Good Place on Netflix. Yesterday I fully cleaned out the litter boxes. And today I wheeled out the trash and got the mail. Those muffins sound good.

You were so busy. I am also motivated to clean every corner of our apartment well when my relatives come. That strawberry muffin sounds delicious.

@thelme55 I like my house to be nice and clean when people come. The muffins were so good warm and cold. Rarely do I eat things that taste good both ways.
