It's Cold here?

Hey, okay yesterday I had 3 fans going in my room - one at the door, one in the window and the overhead.  Oh yeah, I keep a small one going, blowing under my laptop to keep it cool (the laptop lap desks with coolers really don't work as well as they should).

TODAY: it's 75F which feels cold because of the heat we've been having.  How weird is this?! Our family and friends are suffering in a heat wave that's hot enough to melt tennis shoes and reach 118F in Death Valley and 114F in Barstow.

Jackie and I started a grocery list and got into an organizing frenzy (including checking dates on stuff).  The cabinets and pantry are organized, next we'll do the laundry room and the can goods.

We need to start tackling your room more and decide if we're going to try and do a yard sale, donate clothes to a charity or consignment shop or what.

We miss you, Mama.

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.
