this weekend i got my wish for cold weather. in the brisk high 50s last night (in our house, at least), the sweet autumn chill forced some lessons upon us. Little, for example, had trouble understanding why we so wanted her to lie under a blanket, and ended up in our bed where--for the first time ever--she consented to spend the whole night. sweetness. nevertheless we learned that turning the heater on, be it ever so slightly, can only do us good (you win, hubs).i'm feeling inspired and the really good ideas are rolling in...
:: for example, it seemed like a really good idea to turn my mounds of apples and peaches and pears into some pies. never mind that i don't own a pie tin. they actually turned out perty sweet and tasty, if hurtfully gut-ugly. wallop them with enough whipped cream and nobody can tell anyway, right? i figure the same technique will work for me in my later years, and save us money on cosmetic nonsense. anyway, the pie-fest came just in time: as it was, i had to adios at least 2 pounds of bad peach flesh.*
:: also, i reflected on how great it would be to see hubs and myself on the cover of a cheap romance novel. he is the requisite many inches taller than i, has plenty of manly arm and chest hair and, let's face it, we are the sexiest couple alive. at least in the top 1,000? i wonder that no one has yet invented a romance jacket generator on the internet. jibjab should do that. christmas cards solved.
:: also, i think it would be a good idea to...oh, beans, i forget. will let you know when surge of brilliance resumes.
any of you guys have some good ideas to share? please do.
*i sure thought by this time in my life i would be living on a ranch discussing horse flesh with a salty old trainer and a passel of other cow hands. at least the dream is still alive.

"living on a ranch discussing horse flesh"
sometimes i wonder if we're even related.
...but then i remember.
aaaahhhhhh......pie heaven. That's all I can think about from your whole post. But I vaguely remember the rest of it being pretty darn good too.
You are sooo funny. But very industrious! :) Glad to see all is well in you're world....and make sure you let us all know how well your "green" tv works... LOL
PS...Not sure I could EVER have pictured you living in the middle of nowhere on a ranch...?! Are you a new-age Pioneer Woman?! LOL
YES, LIZ! that's exactly what i am, but i didn't have a great term for it until you hit me with "new-age Pioneer woman." i like that. do sunbonnets come in tie-dye?
wish i'd seen that green car before i bought my rav.
also, i've decided sun bonnets are the way to go. great shade, fun hat and you never have to do your hair...what's not to love? and now, coming soon to a Little-on-a-blog near you...tie-dye! (cause if anyone can do it, it's you)
:)
