...or absent mindedness or whatever its called is funny but sometimes embarrassing. At least when there is someone else around to observe said malfunction.
Picture this, a drive up coffee house, namely Dutch Bros. where my husband and I frequent frequently (:-D), I'm on a coffee run for Jay and my brother since they are working and I'm running errands and so I'm getting them coffee since I'm such a nice wife and sister. :-D Anyways, I pull into the drive-thru lane behind a little car to wait my turn and trying to be extra efficient I decide to double check my shopping list while waiting (The little car was taking a long time......). So, I'm carefully checking it and going over in my head what each item on the list is for when I look up and see the Barista's both peeking out the window at me grinning and the little car is nowhere in sight! Yup, it was not only done but it wasn't even in the parking lot anymore! *facepalm* How long I'd been studying my list I'm not entirely sure but it was long enough for the baristas to get a good laugh and me to feel silly. They said they were wondering when I was going to notice it was my turn......Oh well! At least there wasn't anyone in line after me and I have to admit it was pretty funny, embarrassing but funny! :-)
Today I did start to wonder though if whoever it is that says "for every child you have you lose 10% of your brain capacity" isn't entirely off base when I tried to put the carton of 5 dozen eggs in the garbage can and the egg shells into the fridge. :-/
Well, life is never dull that's for sure!
Cheerio!

Life lately.
Besides being busy lately (as usual of course!) with everyday life, I've been working on other things. Things like re-doing the living room, Roy's room and our room. It's a slow process as I search out and look for items I like for the different areas and try to find that perfect little piece to complete a room. It takes time but I know I'll be so much happier if I'm sure, and I mean really sure I'll like something before I buy it. :-) I did take before pictures but since I'm not rushing in re-decorating it will probably be a while before I post any.
Other than that I've been trying to keep the house clean with the occasional help from my wonderful Mum and sisters (Family is awesome to have around. ;-P) and working on making sure I cook more healthy meals. Definitely going to have to get a menu plan worked out sometime soon.
Little man is sick right now. It's a rather nasty cold/flu that is going around and so he's into lots of cuddles and drinking lots of goats milk. Poor little guy! He did sleep really well last night which was surprising since his nose was stuffy. Here's to hoping he gets better really soon!
I made Cheesecake Caramel Pumpkin Cups the other day and they were excellent with a cup of tea (or coffee! :-) I plan on making them again soon, especially since I now have some leftover pumpkin that just has to be used up! ;-) Oh and I didn't make them in a mini muffin tin, well, I didn't have one so I had to use my regular sized tin. It was such a bummer!:-D
Well, I'm off to make lunch or should I say, re-heat the leftovers from last night for lunch. (It's a wonderful garlic cheese sauce (recipe from sis, T.W) over noodles so it'll be yummy!:-)
Bye!

Long-overdue Update
Well, sorry for being so absent, dear readers, but life has been very busy these past few months. I was out of town helping my brother and sister-in-law with their adorable baby (Yep, I'm an Aunt. It's grand!:-D) for two months, home for a week and then back east for a week. It was terribly busy but incredibly fun and something I wouldn't have missed for the world.:-)
I have finished several projects but they are still not photographed so I will try to get that done soon and get back into the swing of blogging regularly. (I hope!;-))
I've been going through all my fabric and sewing supplies and I am weeding out and getting rid of a lot. At least, I am trying to get rid of stuff but it is rather hard I'm afraid and I know it will be a bit of a battle to part with some of the things I've collected. It's all so nice.*sigh* :-)
Christmas is just around the corner and I've got several projects planned. I was hoping to make a nice Christmassy shirt or something but I think I'm going to do some hand project instead. With snow on the ground it just seems right to curl up on the couch with a cup (or two!:-D) of tea and crochet while watching a Christmas movie. Which reminds me that I should talk to my sisters so we can figure out what to watch this year. There are so many choices it’s hard to decide, Holiday Inn, Christmas in Connecticut, White Christmas........and the list goes on and on.:-) Anyone have any suggestions?
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Six Random Things About Me (Annie)
1. It is two miles to our mailbox and I love to walk down but the walk back up makes it time consuming so I can't go as often as I would like. :-D
2. If it was still doable, I’d ride horseback everywhere. (Of course, I’d have to get a horse first.:-) )
3. I make up stories about people in my head, sometimes I tell them to my little siblings.
4. When I was really little, I rode a goat sitting backwards. My, was that a wild ride!
5. I should be working on a ballgown instead of doing this.:-O
6. I used to do Irish Jigging with my sisters.
All of these aren’t too exciting but I decided they were pretty safe to post on my blog. :-D
Now I tag:
Kyna, at CheeringOn.
T.W, at In My Fathers House.
Fogwood214, at Culinary Wending.

Canning
After canning 30 quarts of pears for the first time, at least the first time I wasn't just helping my Mum or sister, I have a lot more appreciation for what my sister does each year making all those pints and quarts of jams, jellies, fruits, mincemeat.... It was quite a task but I enjoyed it very much! The satisfaction of having completed a project makes it well worth the effort. I shall now attempt to can more than six jars of applesauce, it was seven but number seven bit the dust and is now no more. *sigh* I was rather hoping for a nice explosion while canning but alas, only a tiny clink as the bottom of one of the jars broke because I turned the heat up too fast. Disappointing to say the least!
Now off to pick apples to start those other pints of applesauce........:-D

From my collection...
I thought it would be fun to post pictures of the china I am collecting. It is British made, Lady Carlyle and was the same china pattern my Great-Grandmother had. I love all the different colors and the pattern will make such an elegant addition to my future tea cupboard.

WIFD - Day One - Sunday
This is the first time I've participated in the Week in Feminine Dress that the ladies on Sense and Sensibility do every once in a while. I just started a job this week so I don't think I will be able to do it every day but I will try to do it as much as possible.
Day One-
Here is a better picture of the shoes. Aren't they cute? ;-)
-Top is made from Out-of-print Simplicity 5059. It is a lightweight cotton with small woven checks in a smoky blue-gray color.
-Skirt was made by my sister, Kyna. I don't think she used a pattern and if she did she altered it to make it shorter.
-Shoes were bought on clearance at Macy’s. They have a small heel but they are incredibly comfortable and I wish I had more opportunities to wear them.:-)
