I really don’t feel like a blogger these days. I often remember my discipline with Finally Florida and feel oh so less than adequate in the blogger category now. But then again, life is not as exciting…right now. I know that will change and then I’ll be diligent again.
In the meantime here’s some “oh-so-Lynn” details of my life.
Clothes:
So I brought up some summer clothes from my weekend trip to Florida last week that I got out of storage. Why do you ask? Well I’m kinda asking myself that too. I mean I can’t wear my white jeans here now can I? Well anyway so yesterday I was organizing. I was finding all these “groups” – let’s call them “factions” of clothes – (again if anyone wants to help me with the use of quotes, italics, etc., please feel free)…anyway so I have work clothes – work clothes from Florida – not from the north. So well that’s good to have them so let’s say if/when I get a job anywhere south of the Mason Dixon line I should be good. The further south the better. But then I have these beach only clothes. Like when I lived at the beach for the summer I think I wore the same 5 things – ratty t-shirts, shorts, beach stuff. So what do I do with those now? I put them in a suitcase..for now. Then I have my Virginia clothes. I wear the same things here in the woods too. Like ratty sweaters, turtlenecks, the same pair of jeans. So they are in a category all to themselves and right now they are on the spare bedroom’s bed as I’m not sure if it’s time to box them up. They are too bulky for dresser drawers. We are having some cold weather so I need those. Then there were date night clothes – I put them all in the Goodwill. All. Then there are fancy schmancy velvet Christmas attire type clothes – I’m keeping them – back of the closet at mom’s. See what I mean? It’s not too much but my clothes tell a story and all my different lives. When I moved to Florida I sent all my blazers and work clothes to my younger sister in Arizona. So that answers that question, I will not be moving back to Pennsylvania. I don’t have the work clothes.
Cooking:
Have we talked about the Purple Carrot? My brother and sister-in-law sent my mom (and me) a couple of weeks of this Purple Carrot deal – one of those mail order food services. All plant based. I am a HUGE fan. They send all the ingredients..like even the teaspoons of flaxseed or garlic salt or basil or whatever it is you need for the recipe. They send all the ingredients and step by step instructions and well it was fun and delicious!!! I’ve saved the menus and have a couple of new menus to add to our rotation. Like the last night was Sweet Pepper and Hemp Seed Pesto pizza. – The pizza dough was made with mung beans. I assumed it would be my least favorite. We loved it. Because of course I am always wrong about myself. Anyway, that’s been fun to get and to do. It makes enough for 2 with a leftover for 1 (in our case) – okay, right it makes enough for 3..duh. But last week when I was traveling we put the 1 leftover right in the freezer for mom to eat while I was away. If I lived here full time, like with a job, I would probably get one delivery a month I think. Just cause don’t you get sick of making the same things? So that’s been fun. And if you want to try it use this link and we’ll both get $25 off. (if it works) Purple Carrot – How about that?
Car:
I’m sitting here at the Mercedes dealer. They are doing A service. Know what this means in laymen terms? They are charging me $300 for an oil change. Sure they make it sound fancy but really it’s an oil change. But I brought it here because the neighborhood place, well they struggle with a waiting room for one, and then if there are things wrong, well I don’t know it just seems complicated all the time, so I’m here. That’s all. I had asked them to take me over to Wegman’s so I could plug in over there and send out a couple of books but they showed me their waiting room complete with a row of computer desks, a TV, a closed circuit TV so you can watch them work on your car (I’m not watching), free snacks and coffees, so I guess that’s worth $300. LOL. I brought my own tea. Had I but known.
I think that’s it for now. Don’t you? I don’t have any other updates. The intrigue and suspense continues from last week for all of us.

Jay and I did the Hello Fresh meal delivery service. We loved it too! Tried a lot of dishes that we never would have thought to put together. We cancelled it though ’cause it got expensive and Vivi’s palate is not as “refined” as ours :).
We’re cancelled for now too. It is expensive but once in awhile is good. They need to maybe have a once a month option or once a quarter. I bet if you kept giving Vivi those meals she would become refined!!
