Already Acclimated

YAY!  We got one of the cars back yesterday!  The other one is going to take longer.

Last night, we had a personal pan pizza night.  I had a bunch of mini pizza crusts in the freezer, but didn't think it would be enough for everyone.  It wasn't.  So I'd made two more batches of pizza dough in the bread machines, cut them into 12 sections and fried them all up on the stove. 

Meri came over  and we all made our own personal pan pizzas. We thought Shub was coming over too, but he had to work. bummer.

So pepperoni, hamburger and sausage pizzas as well as a turkey Alfredo for my MIL.  We made 15 pizzas.  6 on the first pan so everyone would have something to eat for the first round, then 6 on another and then 3 on the last one.

Got a DUO call from Maddy around 8:30ish and it felt like she was home again!  The kids used to climb on our bed in the early mornings, mostly weekends, and just chit chat.

So yes.  We were in bed at 8:30... 

This time next week, it'll be 9:30, so I'm just already acclimated to the new time.  I don't think I ever recovered since the last time change...  Neither did my office clock...

Looking forward to some yard work and some sewing this weekend.  I saw a Youtube video on how to make easy leggings for toddlers and you can use the same method for adult leggings.  It's basically the same way that I make them, except you can use the serger for every step instead of taping the hems and being extra careful on the waistband.  Woohoo!  I'm looking forward to being RECKLESS! and dressed.

I'm also getting a bit sick of the church clothes that I've got so I may make myself a new skirt.  I'm SURE the other church ladies are looking at my clothes and saying, "Oh yeah, it's the purple striped skirt... Haven't we seen a LOT of that?"  Actually I'm pretty sure they don't keep track or care... ;) 

In MY mind, I'm saying that exact same thing about myself.  and adding the sentence, "Hmmm  Val really needs to shave her legs too... ewww..."

Have a wonderful weekend!!  It'll be in the 50s here!  

Will be digging in my closet for shorts later today.

Livin' In The Now

The time change has done a number on me.  I've awakened way too early yesterday but today was a little better.  And having it dark by 5:30pm makes the evening go WAY too fast...

Robb has no sympathy for me during the time changes.  Live in the NOW he says...
But my body says it's really 9:38am...  

All of his quotes come from either Stripes or Wayne's World...

I was able to get a little more sewing on the prom dress done last night, but it got me thinking.

When I get this dress done, just where am I going to store it so that it won't get wrecked or get little hand prints all over it?...

I might have to clean out my closet completely not mad at someone...  Usually it's done in anger and lately there has been too many other things to do be done with that emotion.

Oh well.  I think I know what I'll be doing this evening...
 Besides waiting with bated breath for the returns to roll in...

Election nights are weirdness.

But tomorrow we get to get back to the anhydrous and fertilizer commercials. YIPPEE!!!!

I'll be in my closet.

Work again work again, jiggity jig...

My vacation is over. Double drat...

The daylight savings time changed one week ago, right at the beginning of my vacation and I haven't let it adjust me yet. I just slept an hour later every morning and stayed up an hour later every night...

sigh...

So this morning was tough.

My to do list from my emails while gone is pretty big, so today will be a challenge that way too. I've got my trusty Diet Dr Pepper with me, so things might be ok...

Over vacay, I worked a lot on the prom dress, made a poodle skirt for an upcoming sock hop at the middle school for Meri, cut out an Easter dress for Mads that she needs by Thursday night, packed several boxes at my parents house, and oh my... lots more.

I hope you all have a great day and I'll be more chatty tomorrow. :P
