Bullet Blog
- Hello.
- I really don’t have a lot to say, today.
- I just read 1800+ e-mails.
- ((An account I frequent quarterly.))
- Luckily the AO e-lists are going forum.
- That will help IMMENSELY!!
- I’m also working on school stuff.
- Our new year begins on Monday, you know!
- W-Th-F of this week are my prep days.
- I’m pretty excited.
- There’ll be a ‘Back to School’ blog, of course.
- I’m also drafting halloween costumes.
- This year is… intensive.
- I have things to crochet, masks to make…
- You know how we do Halloween.
- I’ve got diagrams of the costumes I’m making,
- … and have to start gathering supplies.
- For newbies, we dress up as a family theme.
- One year it was JM Barrie (Peter Pan),
- Twice it was Disney, but different characters,
- Then there was the Western posse,
- Once Wizard of Oz, and then Harry Potter…
- And this year?
- Just wait n’ see!!
- We talked about doing ‘The Avengers’…
- But there aren’t any chubby chicks or bearded guys.
- I have to go pick up a periwinkle suit
- …for Aaron’s (4) costume, this afternoon.
- Have I piqued your curiosity?
- (((Just. Wait!!!!)))
- Did I tell you we got two new bunnies?
- They’re acclimating well.
- I didn’t read the ad well though.
- It said they were New Zealand/Flemish mix.
- Flemish as in… GIANTS.
- I’ve never SEEN such huge rabbits as the mom/aunt.
- I seriously hope they got more NZ than FG in them!!!!
- Cuz they might not fit our cages!
- But we needed some fresh bloodlines to breed with.
- Hey, moms!
- It’s McDonald’s gift certificate season!!!
- They’re the ONLY coupons I endorse/use.
- It’s such a deal… I kid you not.
- $12 savings per $1 booklet!
- Just.. thought I’d… share…
- Anyhow! Aren’t the colors gorgeous?!
- It’s lovely, around here.
- And chilly… I’ve made coffee, already!
- But since we’re still here?
- It’s time to start working up a physical fitness plan.
- In other words: I gotta start running.
- And I will. Later.
- This afternoon. Really.
- But right now, I’m considering tomatoes.
- What I should do about the ones still in the garden.
- I’m thinking I might need to bring them in, soon.
- Maybe… as in naptime, today.
- I hate to lose all those tomatoes.
- So… yeah. Busy!
- We keep busy.
- Keeps you young, y’know…
- Well, I guess that’s it for now.
- I got’s t’move!
- See you later!

curiosity definitely piqued! Can’t wait to see those costumes!
Re: tomatoes…. I read in an old pioneer diary a while back that they put their fresh tomatoes in a large crock and covered them in a brine. When they wanted a tomato they soaked it in reg water for 24 hrs and apparently it tasted fresh off the vine! I have never tried this but let me know how it turns out if you do kay?
I’m glad someone else does that McD’s coupon book thing besides myself. We just used up the rest of our Monopoly pieces today too. We ate there a couple of weeks ago and got four free fry coupons, and a free shake, and free drink, so we used them, and then spent three dollars on the coupon books, and then when we’re on the road doing holiday shopping those coupons get used up quick, quick, quick, grabbing snacks as we go.
We had so many tomatoes last year I ended up dehydrating about 30 pounds of them! Crumbled them up, and now I drop them in soups, and stews, and taco meat. Nothing around here goes to waste if I can dehydrate it before it goes bad.
