This weekend I...

...took a bunch of random photos.
Here are a few for your viewing pleasure.
:o)

We're still cleaning up from the crazy dust storm we had last week.

"Chip" {my pretend pet turtle} got a much needed bath.

And so did my car,

and our patio.

I bought myself some flowers. :o)

And I listened to the new mix CD that Carrie burned for me.

I love it! Random songs by Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Hanson,

and The Beatles to name a few. And I love that it's on a CD that

looks like a vinyl record. Thanks, Carrie!

Made some hard-boiled eggs that were really yummy. I tried a new way of cooking them and they peeled really easy this time! {Cover eggs in cold water and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes then remove from heat. Let stand for another 5 minutes and then rinse with cold water. Perfection.}

 Made some yummy cookies - white chocolate chip and pecan.

Cooked a bunch of meat because the freezer in our garage decided to take a break {GFI switch flipped...} and thawed stuff out. Saturday I cooked {and then wrapped and froze} two pork tenderloins and four chicken breasts, and yesterday I cooked a turkey. I used our roaster oven and cooked it all out on our patio so as not to heat up the kitchen with the conventional oven. {I thought that was pretty smart of me!}

Took an early morning walk and enjoyed this beautiful sunrise.

 Did some packing with a little help from my friends.

Enjoyed lots of Arizona storms. Friday and Saturday nights were dry -
thunder, lightening, and more dust {though no where near last week's
dust storm}. But last night we got some much needed rain.

Everything smells so nice and clean this morning!

How was your weekend?
