This week is insane for me.
My house is a disaster. I have a butt load of music to plan. I have to practise my mad guitar skillz. I gotta make some more necklaces to sell. I still have to fold the Mt. Everest of laundery sitting in my front room….plan and make dinners…pay bills…buy groceries….and all I want to do is to go to sleep.
As mentioned in my previous post I’ve been experiencing a bit of a Niagra Falls experience over here, and I think that as a result I think I might have a bit of low iron situation going on. I’m currently taking Floradix and am hoping that will help things out, but right now – I’m a cold, tired, whiney baby!
I have also been a bit distracted by the whole US Election, and am waiting to see the results of that.
In other fun and exciting news, Jeremy blew our microwave up on the weekend. Well, it didn’t technically blow up and it even still works, but he put a “warm bag” in to heat it up so that he could snuggle wth it and instead of putting it in for 2 minutes…..he went with the whole “If 2 minutes is good, then 10 minutes would be better” thought process, and seeing as we are such attentive parents, we didn’t notice until we started asking ourselves what the idiots downstars were burning this time, and ONLY AFTER multiple sniff checks through the floor heating grates did we come to the conclusion that THAT HORRID SMELL was actually coming from somewhere in our house….and OH MY GOODNESS CRAP! What the heck is in the microwave, and why is the microwave covered in orange yuck and man….put that thing out on the back deck…..
So, we are currently microwave-less. Which is not the end of the world because we were planning on doing it anyway – you know……bad radiation waves, and reverse polarisation and all that crap….and seriously…the stupid microwave was given to us as a gift by my grandparents before we got married as an engagement gift……oh…..400 years ago….or maybe just 13+ years ago and it’s had a good long life.
This just means that we have to think ahead in reagards to defrosting meat and reheating cups of cold tea or coffee. It’ll all be good – Right?
Well, the baby is still sleeping – it’s been two hours and so I’m going to go and work on some necklaces which means that as soon as I open everything up and just get started he’ll wake up….that way I’ll be sure to be completely frustrated and not just a little.
How’s your week been so far? Could you go micro-wave-less in your house?
No, I don’t think I could live without a microwave. I mean, I could, but I would really not like to. I occassionally like to have a bag of microwave popcorn and I re-heat lots of things on a regular basis. I don’t cook things in there however.
Good luck with getting everything done that you need to! I’m trying to teach myself how to knit, so I’m going to back to that now. 🙂
we lived without one for quite a while and now I find we don’t use it as often as we used to…but when I need to use it BOY am I glad that it is there!!!
That’s a tough one! As much as I would like to give it up, I don’t think I could. I don’t usually cook in it I just reheat things. But really, what’s the dif!
Maybe when your coffee or tea gets cold you could just add ice cubes 🙂
We’ve gone without a microwave for about a year now. I honestly don’t miss it. You have to think ahead a bit more in terms of thawing food and warming up leftovers but I usually think ahead anyway with meals around here because I’m a SAHM with three little ones to feed and that’s part of my job! The only time I really notice it is when we have family come stay with us and they seriously don’t know how to warm stuff up without a microwave…and they think using the oven/stove is SO SLOW. But I’m just used to it.
How are you feeling after a few days on floradix. I love that distugtin’ stuff. I feel so much better throughout my day. You can also add a little Carlson’s Lemon flavored cod liver oil to create a really nasty morning cocktail.
Love you lots.
Hi Patti,
Praying you have had a better day than this one. God is with you. Still reading your blog, just havn’t always been commenting ;0)
Could we go micro-wave-less? Probably not. We have, years ago, but we depend on it far to much lately. That’s how I heat up my milk to make my de-caf mochas! And what about rice? I love the micro-wave method as apposed to the stove top method which burns so easily!
Take care Patti,

NO!
Our mountain of laundry is called Mt. Neverest…and living without a microwave…I am not sure, we don’t use it too much, but would probably need it if it was gone;-)
