Happy Monday Everyone! it's more sunny than cloudy here this morning and so far the temperatures aren't too hot yet. Looks like we'll be getting some rain before the day ends and probably stormy weather tomorrow.
I'm sitting here enjoying my coffee and trying to mentally figure out my day. We had a busy weekend so my energy is lacking and I'm just blaming it on being old 
With all these problems going on with lettuce we've had to go to plan B for dinners. It was so easy to just throw some grilled chicken on a salad and it didn't require a lot of thinking, planning or time.
Today I'm going to make a crockpot of chili and we'll have that for dinner tonight. We'll have what we call UN-tacos since we don't put it in a shell. I'd much rather put my chili in a bowl, add some diced onion, shredded cheese and a dollop or two of sour cream. Frito scoops on the side and it delicious and less messy than a traditional taco.
I know tomorrow is generally Taco Tuesday but we're a day early
How was your weekend? any fun stuff going on ?

@Marilynda1225 Yes, a lot less stressful. But then again something always pops up that you have to just give it up and take care of things!

My day was uneventful and the weekend breezed on by. I turned 43 on Saturday and we wound up going shopping. George has a new shirt to wear because I am washing it today. I'm curious to see if he'll dig out a Navy shirt to go to the doctor with or wear a nascar theamed shirt.

@Marilynda1225 Don't be. I didn't announce my birthday on here in many posts. The ones I did post about it were after the fact. Hell, I had to tell my husband the date, to get him to say happy birthday.

@Marilynda1225 I was surprised with this one. Although this doctor told her they could probably have another one if they hurry up. She's 42 now so the clock is ticking. I will probably be put in great grandchildren wait mode, myself!!

Congratulations on your new grandson. I miss those days of babies and all the fun of watching them grow up. My grandkids are all older now so I guess no new babies for me until the great-grandkids start coming along.

Yeah, if you call a violent storm fun..It freaked me out, and I don't scare easy.

It's crazy how violent these storms have been. I'm glad your storm didn't cause any problems but it definitely would have scared the heck out of me too.

Nothing fun or interesting here. We just stayed inside and avoided the extreme heat. Same thing again today and tomorrow.
I hope you're doing wonderfully for the rest of this week.

I'd be staying inside too with extreme heat. The older I get the less tolerance I have for really really hot weather,
My upcoming week looks good and aside from storms tomorrow the rest of the week looks fairly nice.

I had a pretty boring (in a good way) weekend. Got a few appointments and errands this week.

You are wise to stay away from that nasty lettuce.
I was hesitant to buy lettuce the last time I was out, but ours comes from Quebec, and it has been fine.
We're having fresh corn on the cob tonight with shrimp and tater tots that I will do up in the air fryer.
It is storming here right now.

We had a fun weekend as we were at the caravan.
Back home now and The Mister was up at 4am to travel 6 hours to Scotland to work.
Usually, I can get back to sleep, but not today ….im feeling a bit tired now though ….
