Manic Monday

Gosh...It's 12:15 AM and I am NOT ready to go to bed.
The quiet and the smell in my home is wonderful. Roommates made it home safely...with LOADS of goodies.
The group of friends that I cook with (Sunday Super Club) came over.
This is a first.
Almost EVERYONE brought a bottle of wine.
LOL
I made a roasted lamb, Fennel Dijon mustard butter to coat it with, and a great gravy made with wine and chicken broth and the rest of the Fennel Dijon mustard butter. Also roasted veggies (Anise, Turnip, Red Onion, and Sweet potato with roasted pine nuts and almonds).
Antje made Red Cabbage, and French onion soup.
Kim made a great round of Kimmie Brownies and Basmati Rice. My sister Jacque and my brother in law Doug came to! The desert from them was homemade peanut butter pie. My daughter Amanda showed up to enjoy the food! Very proud of her trying the soup. :)
There were in attendance :
Circe, Jeff Carmichael, Antje, Kim, Melanie (Jeff C's cousin) and her friend Jeff, Kassy, Amanda, and Jacque and Doug.
Bob and Sharon arrived VERY late :) cause they were in Lampasas, TX visiting his Sister and family (includes an adorable 5 year old girl named Mattie).

I titled this as Manic Monday because the theme of late is that I DON'T want to go to work.
I want to create.
I want to tear up the kitchen and remove the wallpaper. I want to paint on the walls and on canvas. I want to make jewelry, I want to do massages, I want to ride my bikes, I want to go climbing, and I want to just think things through.
Manic Monday cause it is SO routine.
Mostly cause I cannot see an end to endless data information uploads and answering calls.
Sometimes I really hate hearing a phone ring. That is at work folks. MY phones are fine :P

My daughter looks good and My sister Jacque is doing better than I thought she would be doing. It was hard seeing her hurt so bad. It was wonderful having everyone in the home again!
Even my cat Kali came down to check things out. She is getting more social :)

I had so much fun this weekend riding....doing a photo shoot..Cooking...cleaning... Visiting my friends. :)

Life is calm on the weekends....but the work week is here and I need to sleep again.

Kiss Noises
