Wednesday, I thought slavery was outlawed?


 Therefore, Sissie is a question????? I just want you to know that if you check the list on the last post, because you are all so intrigued, am I right? You will find most of it done.  Yes, in two days being driven by this creature called Sissie one can accomplish things.

Monday, I was able to cut up two pumpkins and roast and then puree them and freeze.  I have enough for 8 pumpkin pies.  Sissie inventoried bake goods as that is her jam. My eyes would roll back in my head, and I would be heading for a good place to nap where Sissie could not find me if I had to inventory anything.

Dan and I did more Quilling which drove Sissie crazy.  We also went out and purchased airtight cookie containers from a good will store while Sissie was having fun cleaning out freezers. Her idea of fun is a bit skewed.

Dan and I also dropped off goodies to my buddy, while we were on our way to Joanns to get supplies.

Yesterday Sissie and I cleaned out and culled my closet.  Something we have been saying we were going to do since she moved here.  It actually only took us about 3 hours combined. I was shocked as I thought it would take all day. We were able to take over 60 pieces of clothing to goodwill.  Also, a butt load of toys and grandkid paraphernalia, that they had either outgrown or had no more interest in using. It is still a full closet, and I have decided no more clothing.  When your size really does not change you can have clothes from 20 years ago. 

Today I am sewing as I have a few things that need to go out.  Also, took I in a wedding dress that someone else tried to alter and did not really alter so I get the redo. I have a sweater and a coat to put zippers in and a few pairs of pants to shorten.  Just an easy day if I can motivate myself to do all the items.

Sissie is out and about buying loss leaders for us.  We are trying to stock up on butter which is so expensive. We need a lot for out Holiday baking.  We have whittled the list down to about 18 items.  But traditionally Swedes make 36 kinds of cookies and candies and desserts at Christmas.  Three for each of the 12 days of Christmas. I just cannot do that, nor can I eat all of it.

I have a piano lesson tonight and then dinner at Sissies.  I am eating better now that she is here.  No more Pop tarts, or Potato chips for dinner. I did stop by a veggie stand when I was driving home from Twin Falls.  I picked up a large box of spuds for $5.00, and 25 # of onions for $5.00.  So .20 cents a pound can't beat that price.

Now I have to sew.
