Stay tuned....

Wow, I am having blogging withdrawls...
It totally blows..big time..instead of blogging, I am working at a crafty store..which isn't bad..considering there is way more hellish jobs I could be doing. In general, people are in a good mood, shopping for random crap, like scrap booking accessories and the Be Jeweler..
I work about 22ish hours a week. Not too bad. At first I was sad to leave the kids and hubs..I thought I would be missing out on all this stuff..maybe some milestone for one of the kids or something...(well hell, they are 9 and 4 I think they have reached them already.....scratch that)..
Instead I am counting down the minutes until I can yell "Adios" and get the heck outta dodge...
Yeah, I know I am missing alot...like fights, tantrums..stupid outbursts and complete chaos...
I love my job!!!
Hahaha
And when I get home, my little precious peeps are tucked away for the night, leaving a quiet house..messy nonetheless, but peaceful.
I have started my holiday shopping already..I predict it shall be finished before Thanksgiving.
Lily has been sick..I kept her home today. This cough has been plaguing her for a few days and its constant..and like a seal in sound. It is not croup..it sounds worse..her poor little chest was hurting and her head was pounding due to the constant hacking.
I bought some Black Elderberry for her and we have all been taking it..(since yesterday) and there has been a huge improvement..
Could this be a miracle plant/herb? Perhaps..
Or
Could this stupid cold be over with..
I think its the Elderberry..
Either way..
I am swearing by my Elderberry...(Sambucus)
A friend of mine just let me know Linen's and Thing's is going outta business...which means wicked good sales on all cookery items...
I am still wanting this and this...
Perhaps a bread maker..but I can do that in the oven...
And last but certainly not least is this
Stay tuned for some interesting recipes soon.
As you all know my obsession with the Amish/Mennonite Communities..I have checked out several books at the library on Amish cookery and the like.
I can't wait to get my hands back into business and get cooking'!

Sounds like you are in heaven! I have to make a comment on the Elderberry...that stuff works!! I have been using it for years (friggin expensive though). So what's the fascination with the Amish/Mennonite's? My sister in law's family is Mennonite...they seem like they are in a time warp...it's so interesting!

Caroline-
i have always had a fasination w/ t he Amish/Mennonites...
I suppose its the simplicity in which they lead their lives..I long to join their community..however I don't believe in the same religious views that they do, so that wouldn't work..haha
I swear I was an Amish farmer/housewife in another life..
Time warp sounds wonderful to me...
And yeah that Elderberry is costly..but not as expensive as the oil of oregano ... I need to take out a loan just to buy it! Sheesh...

Hey sis
Glad you are enjoying your job! Miss your blogging though! Speaking of Amish have you made the Amish Friendship Bread? It is so good. And you can make starters for your friends and neighbors.
Wish I was there so you could hook me up with some Micheals deals!
**Hugs**

yer sis

Hey there. Congrats on your new job. It seems exciting to be in this new phase of life.

As for Giada's book, it's her new one Giada's Kitchen - Everyday Favorites. I put it on my sidebar.

Your job sounds like a great kill two birds with one stone kind of thing. I've got to get going on my shopping! I hope your Lily feels better soon. I left you a comment about the pasta on my blog, but basically I buy the Barilla in the yellow box. Yummy. OH and that bLT pizza is going on the menu for sure.
