This is me...

Ranting, and writings and thoughts, and ideas, and the controlled randomness that is me...

Happy St. Patrick's day! Spent the morning running around, and now I am tired! I am going to try not to give into the tired! I need to get back on a good schedule. I go back to work Monday. I might go in tomorrow, just to get some stuff done before people know I am back. This is payroll Monday,so there is that, and then there is catch up from the week in general. I am tempted to turn my work email back on, but I will resist. I will enjoy the last hours of this vacation if it kills me! Haha, and it might!

I am trying to plan a clothing exchange, but do far, doesn't look good. Marie doesn't have any female friends,and Cara's are all flakes! I guess we will see!

That is all for now!

Blessed Be!

Today is a lazy day. I want to crochet, but I don't...I want to knit, but I don't... I want to embroider, but I don't...I think that staying in bed, and watching day time TV is what will be the reality of the day.

I go back to work on Monday... That is a reality... I have enjoyed being home, but I miss my routine, strange I know...

Blessed Be!

Marital discourse seems to be the theme of the day... Maybe a week long vacation is not the best idea... :(

Today is pi day... 3.14

Today is also my mother in law's shoulder surgery, so no post today. I will go through the homesteading books I have while we are at her house to make her dinner, but other than that, I don't see much getting done today.

Blessed Be!

Day two of stay-cation. Day two of Solar Oven Trials. Today we are doing taters... We will see. They have been prepped as if going to be baked in a regular oven, and then 4 of the 5 were placed in the vessel, while the last one was just placed in a tied off section of the black bag. We will see. I put them out about 3 hours ago..

Anyhow, today the kids and I went to the library again, I had more holds in... Not impressed with the first book I looked at of the two, but I did learn which of the blueberry bushes would be best in our area. I think that I would do just as well to make a list of the things that I want to learn, and look up just those things... Like, how and where to grow blue berries... How to sew a dress... I already have a idea, I think that I need a simple pattern. Heaven knows that I have the fabric. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to make more skirts, like the one that I bought at The Gas Pipe. If I made enough, I would never have to wear pants to work again. I like that idea!

I am going to look at the books that I have tomorrow, when we are waiting on Cindy at the hospital, and when we are at her house, if I have down time, that is what I will do, then I can take notes, if I find anything noteworthy, and I can return them, knowing that I tried to get something out of them...I have started a Homesteading Journal of sorts. I have writen down the solar oven trials info, and basically keeping track of what I am doing, want to do, etc. That is where I will take notes, keep articles that I find interesting, and pictures of things that I have accomplished. I took lots of pictures yesterday of the first trials...

I am not really enjoying actual reading. I have found that I like having the book, and know that I have it, but other than that, I find that I rarely read the books I get. It is good to know that, so that I can, MAYBE do something about it... LOL! I did finish my Magical Household book, enjoyed that one very much...

Well, that is it for now, it is 1:00, holy cow, where did the first half of the day go.. I think that I will get dressed, and go look around the house for places to plant the herb seeds that I got yesterday!

Blessed Be!
