You'll find me here
"Well," he said, "what have you been doing lately?"
"Oh, I've been very busy." I replied. "Very busy not consuming."
And it *has* been busy, in a molasses paced sort of way. Making 2 batches of turkey stock.-That's 6 hours of watching water boil, sister!- Addressing forty christmas cards I bought last January. Rolling twenty one dollars in pennies. Systematically finishing all the near-empty bottles of salad dressing and jam. (suze and corey. Do you know we have 4 bottles of soy sauce?) Counting things in the cupboards. Soaking beans. Making bread. Making lists. Watching the sun set. Watching it snow. Watching Jeopardy.
I must say that deciding not to buy anything I haven't specifically budgeted for during the big shopping season has made this the most enjoyable pre-holiday madness yet. Boo shopping. Yay contemplating peace and love and charity and watching water boil.
SNOW!!!!
You can never have enough soy sauce.
I miss that view so much! Put a little snow in an envelope and send it to us. Sorry for all the dressings and soy sauce. I have gotten so much better about that - I actually see what we have before I go shopping.
I love and miss you,
Susan
