I'm Up Early


It's barely 6:30 in the morning and the kids don't have school. I don't have to be at work until 10, yet I'm still awake. Not just awake, but dressed, with my shoes on( the Flylady would be so proud). I haven't fixed my hair yet though ;0) So, what am I doing up early like this? I've played on Goodreads for a bit, ate a leftover taco that Lauren brought home last night AND...I'm planning Thanksgiving dinner!!!





Here's the menu so far -
  • turkey
  • mashed potatoes and gravy
  • baked spinach
  • vegetable casserole
  • broccoli rice casserole
  • oyster dressing
  • macaroni and cheese
  • green beans
  • rolls
and for dessert -

  • buttermilk pie
  • fudge
  • Oreo balls
  • peanutbutter balls

Yeah, yeah, that sounds like a lot of food, but it'll be me, Hubs, all 5 girls, 1 son-in-law, 1 soon to be son-in-law, and the grandchild. I think we'll eat most of it LOL If not, I may not have to cook Friday and that would be just fine :)

Naked in Death by JD Robb

"I don't think I'm in love with you anymore, I know I am."  Oh. my. gah.  I am sooo in love with Roarke! Holy balls!  Why did I wait so long to read this? (actually I listened) It's like an amazing episode of CSI or Law & Order or some show like that....not that I watch tv all that often, but yeah, Lt Eve Dallas would put those shows to shame! The crime solving portion of the book, which honestly was the majority of the book, was great.  There was enough creep factor to the crime and the reasoning when you found out who it was that did it and why, but it wasn't so bad that you wanted to put it down.  It just made me mad that I couldn't have killed the pervy old man myself. This is definitely a series I will continue.  It may also just convert me to an audio book listener....as you may or may not know, my previous attempts at listening have not gone so well.  But this kept my attention pretty well and I loved the voice characterization of Roa...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

August of Accomplishments

The Oxford definition for ACCOMPLISHMENT is "something that has been achieved successfully".   I am claiming August as the Month of Accomplishments for my massive cross stitch WIP collection.  My plan is to finish some of the WIPs that are close to being finished or that I have had in the WIP pile for a long time.  Here's a look at my stitching spot...Notice the basket on the floor, it is full of WIPs.  Notice the pile on the sofa, it's all WIPs.  I have got to get some of these gone, especially since I LOVE starting new projects. So, am thinking I will work on Calvin and Trixie.  I am sooooo close on this one.  I even bought finishing fabric for it. I think I will try to complete the January SAL from Little House and Country Cottage Stitching Group on Facebook.  The theme was winter.  I bought finishing fabric for this too. I also want to finish up Seasons in Chalk: Stars and S...
