Coffee Break 9/4/15

I thought I'd try starting a new thread for the day because the other might get too long. I imagine this one will do until next week since it's a holiday weekend, but we'll see!
Dinner was good last night - I didn't ruin the pork chops! The most exciting thing in my world today is I get to go to Costco. Yay! Hopefully I can get some work done today, too. I have a couple of writing projects I need to get moving on.
How are you today?

Dealing with film production headaches. We're doing a documentary about elderly/disabled abuse & our interview subjects are a handful. Have our crew though, very excited! Next onto the fundraising. Going to park to shoot an interview today it's finally cooled off. My daughter's running the camera then off to lunch!

That sounds kind of fun! And exhausting. It can be both, right?

Talking about dinner, I made my first dish ever with a pressure cooker. So glad I used some birthdy money to get it. It's the perfect cooking appliance for busy moms. Frozen Chicken to Chicken Barley Veggie Soup in 40 minutes is my kind of meal.

Cool! I've wondering about those. I think they look so cool but I always wonder how much I'd use one. It has be low maintenance and easy for me.

I've loved my crockpot for years and this pressure cooker can also work as a slow cooker. So I figured I was upgrading an appliance. So far this seems pretty easy. It will even brown for you and it's electric with a pot you can pull out to clean. I was nervous about it, but it was really really easy.

We love our electric pressure cooker. I remember whenever my mom would use hers she made us all get out of the kitchen when she was opneing it and it was like a miracle when it did not explode. Seriously she loved the way it cooked but she was so afraid of it too. The electric ones are not scary.

I got to clean my house up, well, a little bit. Enough to make me feel good - that's what is important, right?
CandyOvercaffed
Omigosh yes. I count every small victory!

Busy setting up my classroom. The beginning of each year is so exciting! The buzz of anticipation and getting to know new kids and their families is so fun but so tiring!

Do you start after the holiday?

I always thought teaching would be a lot of fun, but I'm not bold enough to stand in front of a classroom.
CandyOvercaffed
So tiring! Good luck to you. :)

I went to Costco with 3 kids in tow today — always and adventure! Just picked up some stuff for school lunches since school starts next week. We also went to visit my grandma and the kids got to pick some stuff from my aunt's garden. Tonight we went to the highschool football game — the season opener. We lost :(No big plans for the long weekend. Hoping to get some work done and some projects around the house. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Candy, I love it even though you have to deal with some difficult people sometimes. It turned out we weren't prepared for the shoot, either. :(

Oops! We're all human, right? ;)
