I just spent about 2 hours leisurely strolling through blogs. Along the way, I picked up a recipe for homemade dish soap and another for an iced drink called switchel. I connected with a woman who's changing the way she eats and going about 80% raw. I read about trials and tribulations and joys and achievements. I had a good time, except that I was really heading HERE to blog and then get to bed early for a change. And now it's almost a quarter of 2. IN the AM. Not good. sigh...
I am going to the doctor tomorrow at noon with a friend. She's going through some scary stuff, and I'll just be a warm body to hold her hand if she needs me.
Today I met up with a friend who's moving to the Islands and she gave me a Laurel tree in a planter. It's not terribly big yet, but it was a lovely gesture. I met her at her mama's house and we had tea and visited a little bit. She's been coming into town and visiting her folks for supper every Tuesday before she leaves. I'm sure gonna miss her...
This morning I got some housework done and made a nice chicken and rice casserole for supper. It is one of those that goes into the oven at 250 degrees for hours and hours and comes out tasting like candy. Yummmmmmm. lol
I also pulled out my copy of Amy Dacyczyn's "The Complete Tightwad Gazette" to read again. There is so much good stuff in there!! I read it through about 2 years ago, and am loving it again. It's chock full of ways to stretch your budget, and now with another car payment, we need to watch what we spend. I am pretty frugal, but there are always more things to learn and put into practice.
I'm off.. a short post tonight, but I need some sleep. Happy Trails, all y'all...
