Tuesday Randoms

Woohoo!  It's Tuesday! 

I totally over-estimated the time it would take me to get to work this morning.  I thought that with school starting today that there would be a TON of cars and busses on the road at 7:20 and that it woult take me twice as long to get in.  Nope.  I got to work at 7:40 this morning, and I even stopped for coffee.   Oh well, at least I know.

  • This week is going to drag for me.  I leave for vacation on Monday.  It can't come fast enough!

  • I am always in favor of a short workweek. Yesterday I had my first pumpkin spice latte of the season.

    Me too!  I had a Toffee Latte on Friday and I really liked it, maybe more than the PS Latte.

    Wow that is a long time!  What did you all can?

     

    DH and I went to our fifth and final wedding of the summer this weekend.  Phew!  What a busy summer that was.  Even still, I'm sad to see it end.  Hope September is a nice month weather-wise.  I have loved the sunshine of this summer!

  • I made 12 pints pizza sauce, 3 pints basic tomato sauce, 6 pints salsa, 5 pints zucchini relish, and 8 half pints of bruschetta preserve.
  • I went to PA to visit my aunt and I wanted to stay. I cried when M picked me up.

  • Hi ladies!

    I had a nice weekend, but now my house is an absolute disaster and I have no desire to ge out of bed to clean it today...... grr.

    Anybody do anything fun this weekend?

  • My weekend wasn't bad. I worked Saturday, but J and I went to The Oasis hot tubs again, and hit up Sonic for some supper. I love lazy Sundays SO much.

    Today I start my CNA classes. Yesterday and last night, I was a nervous wreck, but so far, I'm feeling pretty calm. 

     Oh, and I also had a PS latte the other day. And I've been drinking a lot of hot chocolate. I LOVE LOVE LOVE fall!

    That all sounds good, especially the bruschetta preserves!

    Yumm!!  Someday when I have a pantry to store things in I hope to learn how to can too!  How did you learn?

  • Hi! 

    I had a very nice weekend visiting with my family.  In fact, my mom and I have started discussing doing a weekend get-away together.

    I posted about it on the travel board.  Let me know if you have any suggestions on where we should go!

    I somewhat learned to can from my grandma.  A friend of mine told me to get the Ball Blue Book.  Ball is the brand of canning supplies.  The book is only $5 or so, and has tons of info.

    Also, if you're short on storage space, I have a friend that stores her canned foods in plastic bins under her bed.

    I have a new-found love of canning.

    My cousin that's a PA worked 1 day/week for an OB. She'd go into the ultrasound room, just to have a quick looksie every week.
