What's Up? [Quarantine Edition]

March has flown by even though we have spent the last half in a very strange place of quarantine, pandemic, and just wondering what exactly is going on...

I am excited to blog today and link up over at the What's Up Wednesday hostess sites!

What we are eating...

Silhouette Design Store: jar of cooking utensils

This has been a super confusing time.  Apparently, people think that a virus that infects your lungs also infects your bowels.  You go to the store and you cannot find toilet paper and at the same time its irony that you cannot find a lot of food either.

The first week of this whole shut down meant that my list was thrown out the window because the only foods left were a pack of pork chops and a pack of chicken wings.  That was a really fun week.

Made this for the daughter after her steak restaurant date last week, but I suspect a lot of other girls feel the same way.

Last weekend I was super lucky to be able to get chicken and ground beef.

I have been posting what all we are cooking each day on my Instagram Story (find me @iscreambrownie) 

Monday we had meatloaf and I doubt I make the way your grandma does.  Tuesday we had veggie tacos and part of that story was taken down because my Amazon Music app is playing in the background and well....Eminem is not happy when you use his music totally not on purpose when you are cooking.

Tonight is Italian Chicken, tomorrow is spaghetti and meatballs.  Friday is salmon!

Am I reminiscing?

No

Loving anything?

Yes.  I'm not complaining about the quarantine.  I'm not complaining about the time with my kids.  The time away from work is a sweet blessing.  Everything is moving at a slower pace and I am seeing it as a blessing.  I actually wrote about it here.

So what have we been up to?

Spring cleaning is COMPLETE!  I have tons of stuff I want to throw into a yard sale but I'm wondering when that can even happen.

We have been good little homeschoolers.  It really kicks into gear next week and I'm going to have to figure out how to juggle that.
Loving our outside time - we go for walks a few times a day and hopefully the sun will show its face soon so I can start turning the soil for flowers and vegetables.
Binge watching some t.v. like champions.

Dreading?

Nothing.  There is no point in dreading anything, friends.

Working on?

Shaded Hydrangeas - 17 Dreamy Hydrangea Gardens That Have Us So Ready for Spring - Southernliving. Hydrangeas love morning sun and afternoon shade. Find a side of the house that does just that and watch them thrive. See PinBlack-Eyed Susan

I extended my front flower bed about sixteen inches out and its roughly twenty feet long so ummm that's a project for sure!  I'm a Hydrangea addict so I plan to get three more and then buy a sh*t ton of Black Eyed Susans.  Oh and never ever forget the power of the Impatien.

Growing Impatiens - How To Keep Impatiens Looking Great All Summer!

My daughter and I are bingeing Gilmore Girls.  I started watching Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu.

Also, I'm reading a ton of graphic novels like Narwhal with my seven year old.

Listening to?

Music, random music.

Wearing?

Yoga Pants with no a** is like a wallet with No Money. Funny Yoga jokes. Yoga memes.

Joggers, compression pants, t-shirts, and my Patagonia pull over.  Don't judge we're in a very tedious time. (LOL)

What's on tap for the weekend?

Much of the same....:)
I plan to play in lots of dirt and visit the garden center at Lowes because its open air and nature and ish.


Anything else?

Nahhh - I need a refill on my coffee now.
But I keep thinking I better go east again....

Cherry Grove Beach, also known as Cherry Grove, is a neighborhood of North Myrtle Beach, located along South Carolina Highway 9 and South Carolina Highway 65, and is a major draw for recreation in the Myrtle Beach area.

BE WELL!
