RE: Letting the Feeling Swallow me Whole

I think I can almost smell the lavender from here !
I once had some cookies with lavender in them. They were not over powering, but just a subtle hint of lavender flavor in the background. The cookie was somewhat like shortbread. I liked them and I thought I was determined to make some myself one day, but I never have. Do you ever cook with it in anything? I know sachets would last much longer though. What a happy thing to have pass to go every day if you want.

I know, right? You should have been walking in those lavender fields! It had the most pleasant aroma, truly aromatic and I never tire of it. To me, it gives off a relaxing feeling, just like taking a good nap. Well, I never (I mean never) nap but, if I did, I know it would feel like that! I know that I have never been a nap person, and if I did, I wouldn't sleep that night.
Those cookies sound yummy and shortbread? Yes, please! That is a nice combination. I am sitting here with a recipe for them, hoping I have enough time to try it out this week. It just has flour, butter, milk, sugar, salt, and lavender. Also some lavender chocolate fudge for one of my brothers. I am sure to sneak a piece of that.
I have made the chocolate fudge, but never the shortbread cookies. Wish me luck!
I was thrilled that I was gifted the pass. What a thoughtful gift that was@
It WAS a thoughtful gift !
I hope your cookies come out good.
I love shortbread and what could be better? I think I have gone lavender crazy. I was actually thinking perhaps a bath with a little bit of lavender in it. Doesn't that sound peaceful?
Perhaps a splash of vino and a good book, or music... or just close my eyes and enjoy the bliss. Hmmmm. I think I have talked myself into it.
It has been an eventful weekend and I am ready to wind down. Wait! Too late, it is already Monday. I am still waiting for the insurance company to call for the next set of contractors, before the next set of contractors. On the bright side, they had to take down part of the ceiling, so they will completely redo that and put a fresh few coats of paint on it.
If I have to look for that silver lining.
Time to quit! Woo-hoo!
What ?? I think I missed something. Did you have disaster ????
I had a pipe burst on Thursday, was actually up most of the night as one of the pipes in one of the bathrooms burst (seriously bust and was spraying everywhere and flooded a bedroom, walking closet, and the ceiling in the walkway out to the laundry room area of the kitchen and garage; all in less than five minutes.) So I had the mitigating people out there for hours and hours... well into the dark of night, so I was doing MarketFriday until 4 am... Two ceilings and all the custom tile in the one bathroom, which means if they cannot find it, they will have to retile the entire shower. and all the trim in the bedroom, walk-in closet, and Part of the garage ceiling. All the insulation in these places is an easy fix... it is all fixable, if not a real pain in the backside. They were back this morning at the crack of 7:30 and will now be back tomorrow morning. They took up all the tiles today as they were still wet underneath, so my insurance screamed mold someday and had them pull them up.
And the beat goes on...
And that isn't even the half of it, but, this too shall pass and there will be sunshine tomorrow... and I will have contractors here for the rest of my life.
OMGoodness ! No good ! No good at all !
Sorry, I know that's a pain in the hiney, but thank goodness it can all be repaired and thank GOODNESS for insurance !
That's true! Thanks! All of course as I am baking the cake in between all that because you know, my daughter's Birthday! It was her room, so now she is displaced until it is fixed.
Better use something stronger then Lavender after the pipe burst situation 😉
Seriously though I hope all is well 🙏
How is it going now over there?
That’s one of the worst feelings ever I know.
I didn’t realize how recent this was. Ive been behind and thought this was a couple days old post. So prolly not much to update. Well breath deep and say “Serenity Now!!!” Or “321,123 What The Heck Is Bothering Me! “
if u get both references u win a bonus 🥇
I’m pretty sure you’ll get the Seinfeld one. Oh I just gave it away 😂. Anyway my dorky attempt to bring a Laugh to a stressful situation.
Much love 🙌
Haha!!~ Urkel! Family Matters
The mitigation people have finished drying up the place and tomorrow one of the contracters will be here to put the bid in for the ceilings, paint, carpet/padding and painting,,, etc.... Oh and the custom tile that they had to rip up on the bathroom floor. If they cannot find more, they will have to retile the shower too.
Le sigh.
But, I am breathing. :) Thanks for dropping in!
U did know it! Amazing! 321,123 What The Heck is bothering me 🤯
Such a bummer but glad there getting on it quick. I eve had many leak issues here (apartment building) leaks from upstairs and had ceiling done twice. Not quite as frustrating as burst pipe but I feel ya.
Well it won’t fix the damage but here’s some tunes just for u on this Wednesday AM!
