Life for me lately has been unpredictable and with that comes an unpredictable mind.
I'm finding myself dreaming lately of what life will be like once DH's unemployment is over. I'm making all these plans. I keep dreaming him in a better job where he's happy and the money is comfy, and by comfy I'm talking he'll make as much as he made before or more so. :)
I felt we were living frugal before, but now I can see we could have done much better. The more you have, the more you have to lose. My goal isn't to have more, but to DO MORE, once we're through this lay off. I'm sure this is the lesson I was suppose to learn from this.
I'm going to put away the Halloween decorations today and start to bring out Christmas. Yes, I know its still weeks away from Thanksgiving, but there is a special set of Santas I want out.
Today is the anniversary of my cousin's death. In the years before she lost her battle with cancer, she hand painted a Santa figure for everyone every year for Christmas. I cherish the collection I have, and it reminds me to be more like her in spirit. Donna loved family and loved Christmas. The Santas are coming out today.
I'm also looking forward to making home made, southern style biscuits. Wish me luck because I've never attempted them before. I think I'll also try a beef stew slow cooker recipe.
I don't miss eating out at all, but the challenge has been time. Working more hours, my domestic Goddess role has been diminished. :) I miss my primary role in household management. There are some things that just need a woman's touch, no offense to my awesome husband.
I'm hoping to stretch my legs this weekend as well. I miss my walks. We're suppose to have warmer weather, in the 60's, so it will feel good.

Mmmm I love biscuits. Let us know how they turn out. Beef stew sounds good too.
My hubby tries to help out around the house too but sometimes it's just easier to do it yourself. At least they try. ;)
Enjoy the nice weather. Have a great weekend!
Nice way to remember your cousin. What a blessing that you have her hand-painted Santas!! Hope you enjoyed your walk and that the weather holds for you this weekend!
I think the Santas sound wonderful. :o) I used to make homemade biscuits all of the time. I have found, as have many other southern women, that the frozen Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits are just like homemade! :o) I hope your biscuits turn out gREAT! :o)
What a wonderful gift from your cousin and what a wonderful way to remember her. Hugs!
