I've been doing fairly well at feeding myself reasonable meals lately.
One night this week I made a noodle bowl with bowtie pasta, broccoli, lemon pesto, and a sauteed tilapia filet. Easy, quick, and filling, with no leftovers.
Another fairly easy meal was smash burger quesadillas. Not low cal by any means, but super delicious.
Bubbie has gotten into the swing of meal prepping again, now that he has his own kitchen. Looks like he is focusing on veggies! This makes my heart happy. I know he was so ready to be out of my house and into his own space and I don't blame him one bit. I should have him cook for me!
On Wednesday I tackled cleaning and painting the closet in the bonus room. I also took all the switchplate covers off, removed the shelving system, patched nail holes, and bought the paint.
The color I picked is called Misty Surf and is a dusty greenish blue.
Once I painted the inside of the closet, I realized I needed to touch up the door frame and door. (of course, because one project always spawns a few more) I took loads of command hooks down and I may not replace them. With 4 kids, I have purchased enough Command hooks to keep that company in business.
I felt so out of gas the first half of Thursday and I will admit, I was laying on my couch for most of the morning. However, after lunch I rallied and painted the bonus room in record time - 2 hours. It helps that I had already done all of the prep. The color doesn't look all that different in this photo, but in person is so pretty and soothing.
I also made plans to paint this wall in the den in the color "Blue Blood", which is from that same paint palette. Because guess who bought herself a new couch?
It is being made now, in a gorgeous deep soft navy. I am so looking forward to getting cozy on that chaise and read to my heart's content. I'm going to look for a neutral rug and I have already moved some things around in the room.
Like a signed Pena print from 1988 (that I cannot part with), and these sconces which went to live in my bedroom (which will also get painted!). I am shopping my house to change things up. But I am getting ahead of myself - got to finish sprucing the bonus room today and get ready for the work weekend. Lots of plans, but all in good time. I am definitely going to rest today!
