Day 19

A stormy day today, Mom.  We decided to just do little things around the place and work on resting.

I finished your gifting and Jackie's book arrived today. I plan on cooking tomorrow. I know, I know, don't drop of shock because I'm cooking twice in one week.  We're going to try a new slow cooker chicken recipe. 

Living without tv/cable is interesting. We both seem to be dealing okay with it. Only bored for short periods of time. The computers take up our attention, as you know. Having the DVDs in order helps a lot too. No more rummaging through layers of movies looking for a particular one.

We're hoping Georgia and Chris come over tomorrow. We've got their presents ready and it'll be good to see them.

You were such a center of the house, Ma. It still feels like we'll just go into your room and find you laughing over the latest Janet Evanovich's books.

This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too.

Becoming Mom - part whatever

Okay, instead of hand sewing something as I normally would, I used the machine. The design works, the stuff for the project doesn't.  We need bigger pipe insulation. We're making drafty door blockers and the insulation is too small since we ripped out the carpets. So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
