as time goes by

Have you ever reflected on your past life... odds are you have. If you have kids then you know a little more than others. I was just thinking....When i started to tat I tatted every single minute of every single day... then slowly, very slowly i noticed that it has lessened quite a bit. Then that lead to what other things have i loved, that i did every day that i don't do anymore...a few things came to mind...knitting, games, sex, reading, socializing...just a few that pop to my head.

My person problem is i want to do everything at the very same time, right away. and once i have pretty much learned all the aspects of that thing then....out it goes. So i find myself sitting here on a Saturday yurning to tat something, but nothing comes to mind. yesterday i ordered some more tatting books.

UCK! had to go tend to my slow cooking. man oh man i hate shrimp. it just feels soooo wrong. so very wrong. this time i didn't have to do anything but rip off the poor shrimps tail. i can't believe that i got through that....ok back to our blog.

Books. i know that i will want to do a few patterns out of them... and plus a couple kid books for night time... not the books that i wanted.. well 1 book i wanted that i didn't get... Amelia bedelia. i love that bitch!..no but seriously. she is so funny, but i know that if i had to deal with her i would probably kill myself. but i got Where the Sidewalk Ends, and the little red hen. i think that they would love to listen to those. But i think that they would have fallen off their butts laughing at Amelia. Any one want to send me one? LOL. I also need to find another copy of green eggs and ham. I love Dr.Seuss so much. Any way....that's 4 tatting books for me, and 2 kid books for the kids...for $9.50! I think that is so awesome. i used my gift cards from SWAGBUCKS...then amazon free shipping with super saving....first time for everything.

Thursday i was watching Grey's Anatomy and it was the last seasons finale... boy it was so much more emotional the second time around...even though i knew what was going to happen. I love watching TV without any one around. I am free to really experience the show or movie. That's part of the reason i hate going to the movies. i can't experience the movie in front of everyone.

Boy this is pretty direction-less. I keep thinking about ripping off the tails. i still feel them in my fingers.

As you can tell i am feeling a lot less pitiful. That's because Monument had been having Anthony working... i feel so much better when he is gone... i know that sound messed up, but it happens. you start to miss someone, then all of a sudden they matter to you again... i love that feeling of people mattering. its a healthy pain. I can't wait for it.

Today I am doing 2 recipes in my slow cookers... thats right two. A large as hell 7 quart and a tiny 2.5 quart... see why i needed a larger one? totally justified. So i am making APPLE BUTTER and COUNTRY CAPTAIN CHICKEN
the chicken smells weird to me. Its not really food i eat normally...but i am trying to change my palette.
the apple butter is smelling awesome. although its competing with some strong smells. I had never tasted apple butter but Anthony bought some, i used it for sandwiches and that was the first day i did not have to tell any of them to eat their lunch...even Ana. she ate it all. I was so amazed. So I am trying to make some more.
