Well, I've been playing with the new camera.*
For a few days I thought, "This might have to be sent back. It's not that great."
A few days later I thought, "Well, it does do some pretty cool stuff."
Now I'm thinking, "I could learn to love you. But first I have to figure you out."
I'm glad I didn't hurt its feelings.

The weather turned stormy again this afternoon, but as long as my husband makes it home safely (he's driving through it) and the power stays on (knock on wood) I'm set. I know what I'm making for supper, I have a new knitting project lined up, and the kids are actually motivated to help me tidy up the house so that we can start putting up our Christmas decorations. We had a fun, super-easy snack that I'll share with you tomorrow, and now the kids are playing nicely together as the day winds down, so I have just this little minute to reflect on November.
Whew.
I made it through NaBloPoMo. Not a perfect record, but I gave it a good run. I don't feel like I actually got a whole lot done around the house, but nothing fell apart too badly so I figure I came out ahead. I made some new friends. I did some important thinking. I got some shopping taken care of.
And now, with Advent here and Christmas coming into view, I have some fun projects planned. With a new camera due to arrive next week you're sure to see me back here soon.
Thanks for following along.
Apparently I'm going crazy. Wait. Make that crazier.
I was sure I wrote a post yesterday.
Obviously, I didn't.
I took care of two other appointments and remembered that I have to go to the dentist today. So... three things and my brain is full now? What is up with that?
Ow! My head hurts!
Someday I'll get a new iPod or smartphone and set alarms for myself on it. (Will it make things better or worse?) But honestly, right now that just sounds like ONE MORE THING to add to the stupid To Do list. Which is what I do not want.
Also, since I remembered today's dentist appointment yesterday, does it count toward today's three? Or do I get to carry it over, like a remainder? No wonder my brain is full if it insists on toting cluttering questions like this around. I can hear my germanic genes warring with my impracticality already. But my courage will not fail. Not This Day.
So now I'm off to check my calendar. And to put a pencil and notebook in my pocket, 'cause I'm sure to need to remember something later when my brain is already to capacity. And in this war, the pen is mightier than the sword.
The weather has us stuck at home, my supplies I need for making some of my Christmas gifts are stuck at the Post Office so I am stuck looking for another project, I tried to shop online today and got stuck trying to make a decision so I didn't buy anything, the power and the internet service have us stuck guessing if they will be on or off, and I am stuck for a topic for today's post. I'm going to bed and try again tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. I've seen so many blog, facebook, and forum posts not to mention tweets about how thankful people are and what they're thankful for. Nothing wrong with that, except... Funny how so many people never stop to think, "Who am I thanking?"
Sorry I missed posting yesterday. I am sick in bed.
I actually took some time to start writing a post, but I couldn't find the picture to go with it - and then later I was just too tired to do anything that took any kind of concentration. I played my ukulele a bit and tried to listen to a few podcasts. (Have you heard Diane Gilleland's Craftypod 2.0? Good stuff. And I'm glad she's charging for it now. It's just $1/episode and that takes care of the guilt I have when I forget to donate.) Thankfully my kids can do their Saturday goofing around on their own for the most part.
Anyway, I'm not the only one in the house feeling poorly so I think I speak for more than myself when I tell these cold germs to
And if I find the picture I was looking for yesterday, I'll get that post up later on.
Now - where are those tissues...? *sniff*
*Photo taken at last year's parade. I forgot my camera this year.
A parade is not enough, but the thanks from the community are genuine and heartfelt.
Thank You.
The days crawl, but the years fly.
Four kids + six houses + three businesses = A HAUL.
Can you guess the treat Daddy put in when we rang the bell at home?
