EnigLdy - My Homepage

In case you don't know the word of the day, that is grandbaby's word for "apartment." When DD, DGB & I pulled up at the townhomes that she is considering moving into....he asked DD if this is their new "pomprint."

Reading: I've done some reading for pleasure! While at the hospital with DSF on Friday, I started A Pilot's Wife and finished it on Saturday. Shallow reading, not much thinking involved and some areas easily skipped. I love that kind of reading and other days I'm ready for something a litte deeper. Right after that I started reading Fall On Your Knees which is another Oprah's Book Club Selection. I'm about a third through the book and I like it. It is an interesting read.

Knitting: I'm almost 1/3 through with the shawl. I have 21" on the needles. It is turning out pretty and it looks like it is made of chenille because of the way the two greens meld.
I received the Pumpkin Hat pattern in the mail on Thursday. I'm planning on using up some of my leftover stash orange and make a few of these for the little ones in my life.
I dismantled most of a yard sale sweater over the weekend. I have a load of purple, cotton yarn - this may go towards a tank for me. I have a huge box of sweaters that need dismantling but after this first one, I'm wondering why I thought I wanted to do this. The yarn is nice but what a pain.

I did some cooking and baking over the weekend! I baked banana bread from three frozen bananas, I cooked a pasta/chicken/sun-dried tomatoes/alfredo sauce dish, and I baked brownies. All were very yummy. When DD & I were at the mall yesterday, I saw this pic of a cherry pie (which is not something that I like) in the window of the Williams Sonoma store. It was like 9 cherries deep and looked "oh, so tasty." DD said, "You don't even like cherries." Yeah, but I want a bite of that! The jar of pie filling is $18 and looks well worth the $. Speaking of money, I spent of $100 on makeup yesterday and DD spent almost $70. We finally bought the Mac makeup that a makeup artist recommend that I invest in. I have it on the face today ~ so far, so good. I think it will be worth the $.

Speaking of the mall - DD and I did a quick pass through the Pottery Barn. It is horrible for me to even walk into stores such as this. I know better. I was having seizures all over the store. I had to hurry and get out of there. I told DD that when their catalog comes in, I sit down and fill out the order form with everything that I want and then I promptly through it all in the trash. Cheapest shopping trip there is and I feel a sense of satisfaction after I'm finished.

DB Donnie called me yesterday - this was the return call following the "Hello Game" he wanted to play after waking me Friday night. Well, he's still really good at the games. He called my cell phone since I was at the grocery store. You know how your cell phone goes in and out so talking is delayed? He was pretending that my phone was doing that and he was delaying his speech after everything I said. I busted him on it. Here I am worried that my phone is going to crap out. Well, it did eventually cuz it really doesn't like interrupting my enjoyment of the music at the grocery store, so signal fades and I get to go humming/singing through the store uninterrupted. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who enjoys all the oldies that the grocery store plays. They should start selling their CDs in the store - they'd make a killing.

Word to the Wise: Never notice what has to be done. See only...what remains to be done.
