I Wanna Be Sedated

I saw this video on Stacy Julian's blog and it left me feeling both inspired and incredibly daunted. In 5 years I'll be 43 (Good Hell!) and better not still be sitting at the computer trying to motivate myself to do something or wondering where money for Christmas is going to come from or feeling like my pants are too tight or that I need to go to an all turtle-neck wardrobe because of my chins.

Even more upsetting is that Landon will be 16 (somebody give me a valium), Whitney will be 14 and Randy will be 47! I tend not to look too far into the future, I'm thinking there's a good reason for that.

**Thoughts??**

Comment Window Tidbit: I just experienced Wal-Mart with the added delight of all the high school kids going there for lunch. I have no hope for the future now.

Thanksgiving Eve

I'm not feeling very Thanksgivingish and am kind of bugged by that because I usually enjoy the anticipation and festive feeling that comes along with it. I don't know if it's because of the nice weather we've been having or if my whole life-clock is off (I think it's this) but I'm not in any type of zone, groove, or festive kind of place. I'm not sure where I'm at, but I'm not there.


Tonight's pie-making process was better than I'd foreseen because Lori and Randy both helped. Michelle's awesome cream pies involve constant stirring (like 15 minutes of stirring) so it was nice to have company and help. Lori did all the stirring for the chocolate filling, then Randy and I took turns for the vanilla filling.

I also made Michelle's grandma's pie crust recipe, which is supposed to make 3 crusts, but after Randy's rolling pin duty, it only yielded 2, plus 6 small pie crust cookies. The first crust (shown here) is a little on the thick side, but I'm hoping for the best.

**What are you bringing/making for Thanksgiving?
Is your life-clock off?**

Comment Window Tidbit: Landon and Austin built a fort today, Whitney got in their way...I miss school hours.
