It has been one of those days! It is still hot and humid here and no rain yet in my area. I stayed busy today doing online work and then catching up with a couple of cousins this evening on the phone. We have a family reunion coming up but it is Sept. 5th and I think all three of us already had plans. And it is at the point to where there is only a couple of us left that even know each other when the big reunion hits. I tried to put up a post earlier but the cyber gods snatched it down so I just got started tagging things. The hubby helped again with putting price tags on DVD's. Every little bit of help from him helps! I was hoping to take a break from auctions this week but the hubby sent a short list of things to bid on and I chimed in with a couple more things. The one thing I wanted for ME was a set of Homer Laughlin dinnerware in the pattern Magnolia (Liberty). It was very pretty and bidding went back and forth on it. I went over to the next page of items and did not get back to the page in time to bid again, so I lost it. There were several other bidders going after it, so I probably would have pulled out soon anyway. It was right at $50 when I went to the other page. Grrr! You snooze and you lose! I did get a few things for the flea market and I will tell you about those in my next post! I got a couple of loads of laundry done. One was a whole load of pillow cases that came from the table full of fabric that hubby got at the estate sale this past Sunday. He also got the last load of it out of my car today. Yay! I still need to go up and sort though the last 3-4 loads.s So that is how my day went. I stayed busy all day and even cooked dinner tonight which was a quick beef stroganoff with noodles. What did you do today and have for dinner tonight? Photo Credit: Public Domain

@Ineeddentures Yep, but we stopped to grab burgers to eat on the way, had to stop for bathroom, got there and packed it all and then went to a pawn shop to see what was new. Nothing of interest, so we went down the road to the Chinese buffet since it was almost 6 pm. Ate and then a 2 hour drive home.

I am trying to remember what I had for dinner, and I think it was chicken. I know I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich too, but I think that was a few hours later. I was so sleepy it all kind of runs together.

Eggplant and rice remind me of eggplant dressing! I need to fix some very soon. We haven't had that in a long time! Do you eat oysters raw? I love them fried. Yum.

I did! And if no pick up today, a lot more would have been done. Now the cycle starts over again and it should have been skipped. I just need to see about another booth at the flea market!!

I spent the entire day writing. I came up for air to make hamburgers because my stomach was yelling at me to eat. I'm sorry you lost the bid on the dinnerware.

You have to stop and eat! I love the dedication you have to writing! It was my own fault for letting the time slip. And I suppose God was telling me that I didn't *need* it!!
