It's Been Years...

I haven't blogged in FOREVER. I don't know why, probably just me being lazy. Too much to do, not enough time. And I got an iPhone. And I can't put it down. Ever.

A lot is new, a lot isn't. I am nowhere near the place I thought I was going to be by 40. In fact, I am almost 41, and I am farther away from that goal of Fabulous At 40 thing I was planning on doing. Oh well.

In true OCD fashion, I have a new hobby, and it has me constantly cooking while my house falls down around me. Constantly cooking, yet there is never anything to eat... The kids ask what is for dinner, I say "Peaches and pickles." Because thats what I have: JARS of peaches and pickles. And chutney, jam, jalapenos, corn salsa, tomatillo salsa, peach salsa, tomatoes, corn relish, BBQ sauce, apple pie filling, applesauce, apple butter...you get the idea. After 150 pounds of tomatoes, Norm banned me from getting more. I have done about 45 pounds of apples, and I am getting more (he doesn't need to know). If anyone is wondering, my scrapbooking stuff is gathering dust in the basement.

Well, that's all for now, I have to go iron a shirt for Norm tomorrow, and hunt a pair of underware for each kid out from the couch of Piled High Clean Clothes. That will get us through another day. I don't actually have anything left here to can, so maybe I will fold those clothes tomorrow. We'll see.
