Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! Hey, hey! Hope your day is going well. . . it’s snowing here. 🙁 Every time the snow starts to recede back and I start thinking spring is around the corner, it snows again. It’s supposed to be in the high 40s next week with rain – so I’m hoping this will be the last of the snow – but I won’t hold my breathe!
Yesterday I stopped into Lowe’s to pick out paint for the living room/dining room/kitchen area in the house. I’m going with a gray. The previous owners used the screw anchors EVERYWHERE leaving behind big holes everywhere they hung anything – big or small. Sigh. We didn’t see this when we bought the house (it was under the photos) and it probably wouldn’t have changed our minds anyway – but I want to spackle and repaint to start anew. I bought two gallons of the grey and a quart of each of the blues on the swatch.
I want to use one of the blue/aqua colors to paint this 3-drawer dresser/side table that I found at Goodwill last weekend. I should probably tape off the living room today so I can paint this weekend – we’ll have to see how all that shakes out in the next few days.
Fred Meyer had shrimp for $5.99/lb this week, so I made shrimp tacos last night. I NEVER buy shrimp because of the price point but it’s one of my son’s favorites, so we enjoyed a “special” dinner last night. I used the seasoning rub from this recipe here and it was delicious! And of course, we made up a batch of Spanish Rice to supplement our tacos and it stretches the meat further. Also makes a great burrito bowl the next day.
