hmm. somehow the photos posted without the comments. but of course, i have to comment :)

so the rocking is rocking. seriously. it's so fun. i know that deep down i am a blue collar girl. dressing up for board meetings is like wearing a costume. today while the husband and i were rocking the house, the workmen were inside putting primer on the walls. they were playing great music and singing in there, and the sun was shining and my brain was so happy not to be sitting at a computer. i kept thinking of my brother who gets to build and remodel and crane every day, and how it just fits him and how much i love him.

anyway, i'm sure it's not that fun for the people who call it a job, but it was sure a nice day for me. i can see how beautiful this is going to be and it makes me so happy. the husband and i did not have one argument or altercation. it was just so nice to be out there working on something together, something that will feel so much like ours because we had a hand in creating it.

i'm happy. and tired. and ready to devour the homemade chicken noodle soup.

i'll report again on sunday night, hopefully with finished pics.

happy weekend.

I love that you're doing this!

I love that you're sharing it with us.

But honestly, the thing my (two glasses of wine) brain focused on was this:

homemade chicken noodle soup.

Did you make it? Did you use a whole chicken? Do you remember that from our popcorn ceiling house??? I have been terrified of whole chickens ever since...and wasn't that the day my stupid kitten got stuck in the cupboard but we thought she was lost outside and we spent hours looking for her?

i do not remember that at all, not the chicken part. i do remember the kitten getting stuck and us finding her in the cupboard...but i don't remember the kitten at all after that. what happened to it?

chicken noodle soup is so easy it's crazy. i put a bunch of chicken breasts in a crockpot with chicken bouillon and some spices and let it cook. when it's cooked i shred the chicken, and then boil it in the broth on the stove and dump in a bag of Grandma's brand noodels. you can add veggies or not. it's a go-to for me. always good.

We attempted chicken noodle soup by starting with a whole chicken in a crockpot, and then had no idea what to do with the stupid cooked chicken.

I had to really search my brain to remember what happened to the cat, but now I can't tell you.

I just finished the last of my homemade chicken noodle soup, complete with veggies.
