I really need to rethink the whole Simple Sunday idea. The plan is to try to get everything I need done on Saturday (or preferrably earlier) so I can just relax and putter around my little house on Sunday. Maybe take a nap if I want to. Unfortunately, I don't hold myself to this most weeks, and I end up running all over the place, trying to grocery shop, and get a haircut (which looks pretty good, if I do say so myself), and other crap that could have been done earlier. I did get to spend an hour dreaming and planning and drawing a diagram of my future raised-bed garden. I will probably go to Lowe's this week and get the wood and other stuff I need for them. I'm looking forward to this year's garden. I've had on and off success with gardening, but I do love to have plants and tomatoes off the vine are my VERY FAVORITE! Can't wait to get going this year.
My cousin Kerri made nanny bread for her husband's work buddies--he's in the coast guard. Nanny bread is something my great-grandmother made, it's essentially oatmeal bread, and there is a huge controversy about whether you should put it in a cold oven to bake, or let it rise twice. Very polarizing. Most of us are of the cold oven camp, but the second-risers are very vocal. I haven't made it in a long time, and the truth is, I'm not very good at it--my sister is really the better cook in our family, but I like to feel a connection with women from the past. I'm not sure that's exactly what I mean, but it's the best way I can put it. I think that's why I love quilting so much. Anyway, I think I will make some nanny bread this week. It's awesome toasted.
I've been sitting here at my new computer, watching funny Youtube videos, and I'm wondering WHY the hell I do that. What a colossal (sp?) waste of time. I guess maybe it's mindless and my mind sometimes needs to rest from all the deep thoughts I am always fighting off.
