Blessedly predictable days

I left a weird post yesterday.  Just one of those odd moods, I guess. 

Today, I got the accounting done, and I had a good attitude (pat, pat, pat).

I am running low on bread so I need to make more.  I found a really good recipe, "Grandma Van Doren's", that everyone really likes.  Thanks to everyone who sent recipes for me to try.  I've tried all but one and they were all a great success!

I am feeling kind of lazy today, though.  I am serving hotdogs on homemade buns (I made them last week and froze them), macaroni and cheese, and canned green beans.  Not a super healthy meal, but I just don’t have the gumption to do anything else.

I have been knitting quite a bit, so that might be part of the problem.  Knitting is one of the few projects I start and hate to put down until I finish.  My sister-in-law gave me a kit that makes a cute little purse, a handbag, and a case for sunglasses, so I am knitting like crazy.  I guess I just don’t want to stop and cook for my family.

The sun has eked out the past two days, but briefly.  It’s better than no sun at all, but I wouldn’t mind a good bask in the hot sun once in a while. 

My little veggies don’t seem to mind the weather.  I notice my corn is leaning toward the sun, so it’s time to stake them.  I think the pumpkins will take over the garden.  Every one I planted is growing and they grow fast! 

My green beans are going wild in the three little areas where they were able to pop up.  I don’t think my visions of shelves loaded with sparkling jars of freshly canned produce will come to fruition, but we may have a few.

I notice I don’t have much to say that’s different than any other day.  A few years ago, that would have freaked me out!  I would have thought I was becoming an old lady (news flash- it happens).  Today, I can honestly say I EMBRACE the repetition of my days.  I feel comfortable with routine, and it may very well mean that I am getting older, but where’s the shame in that?  I wish I’d starting getting older years ago LOL

I love the routine of it all. Years back I would have panic attacks almost everyday, and I know now that it was, in my opinion, that I needed to be organized and have a routine. Once I got myself situated I stopped having the attacks (as much lol). I also know now that is a terrible thing that causes said attacks, PMS!!!!!!!

I know what you mean about the knitting. I started a big fuzzy blanket, and ran out of yarn, so I'm through until I can get more yarn. It's driving me crazy! :o)
