It just goes to show you – that it doesn’t matter where you go, or how much you spend as long as you are with the people that mean the world to you. Calvin is flat out at work at the moment. At times I feel like I am in competition with his work. Never a nice feeling and one I cannot win – as whom am I fighting?
This past weekend was a three day long one. We didn’t go away anywhere as Calvin had brought home a stack of work to get through. But on Monday I was lazing about looking out our bay window at the pouring rain messing about on Pinterest as I do and Calvin popped his head in from his study to see what I was up too (as in making sure I was not booking any trips anywhere lol).
To my surprised Calvin jumped on the bed next to me and we watched the rain together and he even took a little time to see what “this Pinning is all about”. Have to say it was the best hour from the whole three days off. Free to boot!
So it just goes to show you that spending money or travelling to other places doesn’t alway have to be the thing to do! (Please note I said not always but there is sometimes lol – travel is in my blood). Not when you have a window full of rain and your best mate beside you while you are pinning away!
So go hug the one you love 🙂

Living Like Mabel 
So Clavin (heehee- see it?) doesn’t mind that you are so o-pinning-ated?
😋 saw it sorted it ta😆 and nope he loves that my mind makes for interesting if not at times unusual conversations even if I pin or not 😱😜
I’ll have to follow you on Pinterest. I pin a few things! I’ll go look for you.
I’m there as “M J” Amy what’s your handle so I can find you.
Amyreesewrites. Cool!
Found you 👍
I hope you don’t find it too pathetic!
LoL never 👍 it’s actually interesting seeing what people like cyber fly on the wall kinda thing lol
Yeah, totally interesting. Pinning is a good escape. 🙂
i forgot to ask yesterday about the onion cheese sandwich…i’ve never heard of it…is the onion raw or caramelized.lol…also i guess i hit old n 9th grade with wolfie amadeus.LOL
Yep raw Spanish onion (the red ones) but the cheese has to be grated don’t know why just tastes better 😆. My mum use to play me Amadeus on the piano when I was young but only just started really enjoying it lately
oh raw & grated.. i will try that some day..i just made pumpkin black bean burgers.they smell wonderful…taste good too.lol…i used to play mozart on the violin & listen.. now, jazz.
Now Calvin would just love pumpkin black bean burger he’s a vegie. Me on the other hand true meat eater 😊 (he’s into Jazz as well)
that’s me jazz & vegie..lol ..they are so good…i tried like 7 kinds this winter, b/c i’m allergic to soy & i even tried green lentil & pumpkin but this is the best: beans,pumpkin, oats , cinnamon, garam marsala (sp) raw onion & garlic bake 400 for 20 min.
Will have a go Errin 👍 we are just coming into the colder months sounds like a good comfort food
what? are you serious cold? it’s 57 but tomorrow 74
Anything under 60 is too cold lol but no I’m talking June July lol
lol under 70 is too cold for me..nov- may have to stay inside..i ‘ve never heard of such a thing as cold in june & july..where have i been all my life.lol
You state side?
side, alpine and supine yes…s.c.
Arrrhhhh yes my cold and your cold polar opposites 😱 I’m over the other side of the world in New Zealand (we hide underneath Australia lol)
lol so it’s warm there in the winter, b/c if it is i’m coming in oct ober
Yep your winter is our summer 🌞
Where I am lucky if it goes past 50 👍
wait. it never hardly gets over 50 in winter or summer too? i’m so confused.lol
Winter hardly under 50s. summer mmmm ranges mid to high 90s sometimes we hit the 100s. And where I am NO SNOW 👍👍👍👍
oh this is sounding better. i’m coming to stay forever..all year
LOL shopping sucks here and it’s always green (because it rains a lot 😱) and well most of your cities have more people in them that the whole country ( think we are at about 4.5mil as a nation currently) so if you like heaps of space it’s the place to be so head on over.
okay: i better start packing
Oh and I forgot to mention we drive on the other side of the road and have we have a thing for round-abouts which I don’t ever remember seeing in America 😱
on my honeymoon, i was afraid ,thinking about forgetting which side of the road to drive on in st. thomas, but i don’t drive anymore..my neck doesn’t turn to see & my arms fall asleep on the wheel…lol
😱 sounds like your falling apart 😱 how did that happen 😱
yes it sounds and feels like it..it started with 11 car wrecks, fibromyalgia & 3 years ago, dr said i have had lyme disease (since i was 7)
I have a mate with Lymes disease. I hope you are managing she has a awful time
i moved away before i even found out about it, except it was too late ,resistant , but i have toxic molds & that ‘s worse than anything ,it effects everything
I remember when I had a relaxing night in Chicago with my parents in May 2011, and posted on Facebook (almost exactly 4 years ago): “Whom you are with. It’s more important than where you are.” We could have been in Po-Dunk-Middle-Of-Nowhere and I would have been happy since I hadn’t seen my parents in four months.
I hope you have had another relaxing day since 2011 though Noah 😱 enjoy the folks when they are gone they are gone. Both of ours are no longer about 😥
Of course, I have had other relaxing days since 2011, but that day in particular stood out, after reading your post.
LoL that’s good 😆
Look at the interesting conversations you started here with your pinning tales, Mabel Jane. Jazz, cheese, Wofie Mozart, parents, more Pinning, wow.
Glad to see you win out over the Job. Calvin is smart one hour out of every weekend? 😉
Have a good Wednesday, Mabel Jane. Hank back in your life yet?
Nope no Hank but just spoke to them and once again they have said yeah yeah today 😐 it’s 4pm I’m not counting my chickens just yet lol.
It’s almost past business hours, Mabel Jane. They sure do talk a better game than they play. 😦
