Must be Monday

As is typically the case with Mondays,
I definitely had to keep my eye out for pennies yesterday.

#1. When I had lunch at Chick-fil-A,
they were giving away free vouchers for 16oz of Yogurtland yogurt.
Mud Pie, please!

#2. I wore my hair in a messy bun all day
and no one mentioned a thing.
Reason #542 I like working primarily with males.

#3. Though I forgot to move all my pants
over to the new house before sleeping there last night,
I was able to scrounge up a pair of black walking shorts.
3 cheers for not going to work sin pantelones!

#4. Even though our bed frame broke during our big move,
I'm able to purchase a new headboard (instead of the whole frame)
for the tender price of 200 bones.

and #5. The Giants won the pennant! Go NL West.

Monday Meals

While eating dinner last night, Jeremiah said:
"I think this may be the best chicken you've ever made!"

And since we have chicken at least a couple times a week,
I figured that was a pretty big compliment.

So what was it?
My own recipe, actually.
Spicy chipotle peach chicken.

So. Yummy.
Especially with green beans, yam, watermelon,
and a little piece of pineapple crusted halibut.

Thirst and Be Filled

What a verse for a Monday morning:

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."
Matthew 5:6

Dear Monday(s)

Dear Monday(s),

You tend to treat me so kindly. For that I am grateful.

Love,
Jessi

Just another manic monday

...and manic Mondays mean more sewing projects

Jessi vs Monday Morning

These candles make me happy.
And make me want to go curl back up in bed.
That sounds like a much better Monday morning plan.

Man-up Monday

Because I'm five years old at heart, I bought Scrabble Cheez-its at the grocery store last week. I normally eat some sort of crackers everyday around mid-morning so I thought this cheerful little delight might help me push through to 10 o'clock a little more easily.

Well today, Monday!, I just couldn't wait til 10 (I ran out of my morning tea and forgot to bring more from home) so I busted out the Cheez-its a little early. I sorted through the letters looking for those dreaded letters M-O-N-D-A-Y. And instead, I could only find enough for M-A-N.

Well Jess, it's time to M-A-N up and face Monday. You're an adult now. And from the look of things, Mondays probably won't be disappearing any time soon.
