Susan in TN Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I just threw out a dozen eggs that were "hardboiling" in the IP for almost 30 minutes. :ack2: I got distracted and started sweeping off the deck and then filled the birdfeeders and got rid of the tomato plants and put away the pots and supports and swept again... :glare: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Okay--I subscribe to a writing blog called LiveWriteThrive. Periodically the author puts out posts on writing technique, and this time she is doing a series on "masterful writing". Today's advice reminds me very much of the classical writing philosophy, and she even advocates "a book in which you record passages of writing that you find masterful and beautiful, that speaks to you..." The commonplace book, perhaps? :laugh: She also discusses how, "like a painter", one should study the great works and strive to imitate them to learn the techniques. :001_smile: Preaching to the choir, preaching to the choir... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 This woman makes me insane. They were supposed to be gone for 20 minutes but they've been gone for 2 hours and they're not going to be back for another two and a half because they're on the wrong side of town and she still needs to go to Walmart even though she's already been there twice since she got here. I cleaned out the games, picked some books to sell, organized art supplies, did 2 loads of laundry and the dishes. I guess I'll tackle the nursery. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 In my excavation of my desk I uncovered a blank book I had. I put my 100 Books list heading at the top. I'll probably use that for my journal next year. Lots of room to write and draw. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Everyone's gone! Imma clean the board games. Um, pardon my ignorance. What does this entail, exactly? Do you mean "clean up" the board games or actually CLEAN them? Because if it is the latter, #aintnobodygottimeforthat! :leaving: ETA: Proper punctuation. Because it saves lives.

The kids play with the board games on their own and wind up not putting everything away properly. Once every 6 months or so I pull them all out, sort through them and ensure everything is in the right spot. I wouldn't bother cleaning board games because they live in boxes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Why do you keep your kids' names secret? Probably because she doesn't need their future employers (and boyfriends/girlfriends/everybody) to find all her ramblings about them super easily just by typing their names into Google. I mean, I'm sure a very dedicated person could figure it out... but that doesn't mean that it needs to be made easy.

Critterfixer Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I got my 2,000 today. Sitting at 38K and change for the month. I'm tired and sort of down tonight. Tomorrow I go in for my second squish and an ultrasound. It's not going to be anything, but you know, I'm going to be all by myself there, and when I get home. I'm going to get started on the pies as soon as I get back, I think. Stay busy and all that. And take my ibuprofen beforehand, that's for sure! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Tonight our church had a pie fellowship. There are quite a few people in our church who are gf, but noone (me included) brought a gf pie. As we were leaving I told dh that oddly enough I was not craving pie, but instead I was craving sushi. He thought it was weird, but he stopped by a grocery store on the way home so that I could get sushi. :001_tt1: Dh for the win! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you are my friends. :wub: (((Critter))) I sure hope I can see the Critter Family Art Gallery some day. :) Cello lesson has been had. (Why would a teacher try to teach a 13yob thumb position on a piece that is way too difficult for him and that she wants to be performed at an honors recital in 3 weeks?) Grandma and Grandpa were successfully picked up and lightly mobbed by children at the airport. Apple pie filling is made, onions/celery have been sautéed, & onions/mushrooms have been sautéed. Tomorrow we put together some casseroles and make pumpkin pies. We are making 2 apple and 2 pumpkin to insure plenty of pie for breakfast Friday morning. :D 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
