Had a horrible Saturday, my head's in the shed, so today is a little...all over the place.

Yesterday I started a CF about how much I love fall.  One of the things I love about the cooler weather months is that I have more time to work on my crochet projects.   I also learned to knit (and I use that term loosely) this spring, and have a couple of projects going.  Knitting is much harder than I'd anticpated.  Kind of like learning to eat with chopsticks ... but with your toes.
 

I want to make cute projects like these:

But so far my efforts look more like this:

(note:  I did not make this.  Actually, I'd be happy if I could make this)

So, can you knit? Sew? Crochet? Can you make way cool stuff via any craft technique that the rest of us can only dream of producing?  If so, share pics of your projects and/or tips (If any of you are knitters, all tips/tricks or beginner patterns are welcome)!  

So last weekend, Cherry Jr had her first singing recital. She's 14 and belted out an Evanescance song like she wrote it. Needless to say, DH and I were pretty proud and had NO clue she could sing this well-

Then, yesterday Cherry Jr showed us her talent to Fart on Command. No Lie- she waited until it was quiet and let one rip, laughed and did it again. All while saying she's been teaching herself how to do this for months-(she's 14)

I want to know- do YOU or your kids have a talent that wouldn't be considered normal?

I can use my feet to pick things up, write my name and change TV channels with the remote. I can also say my full name while belching.

DH can also FOC (probably where his kid gets it from. Could this be a genetic quirk?)

My brother can fold his eyelids inside out and walk around for awhile like that-

Admit it, you've got something you can do- tell us all about it

I live here:

and I walk everywhere. Take a walk with me!

As we are getting ready to go on vacation next week in our motor home I am on a marathon cooking and movie binge today.

As I would rather walk on the beach or shop antique stores when on vacation I decided to get ahead and cook as much ahead as I can today.

I am making the following:

Ranch House Pork Chops with Parmesan Mashed Potatoes DONE DURING NEW MOON

Mexican Lasagna DONE DURING ECLIPSE

Minnesota Hot Dish - WAITING FOR 1 INGREDIENT TO COME WITH HUSBAND AFTER WORK.

Jambalaya DONE DURING TWILIGHT

Frog Eye Salad DONE DURING TWILIGHT

Rum Raisin Rice Pudding DRANK THE DAMN RUM - HOW HAVE TO WAIT FOR MORE TO COME WITH HUSBAND!

Spice Pumpkon Cake DONE DURING TWILIGHT

Hash Brown Casserole DONE DURING NEW MOON

Coconut Syrup for the Caribbean French Toast DONE DURING ECLIPSE

Brownie for the White Chocolate Mousse Brownie Pie DONE DURING TWILIGHT

And with all of that I don't have a clue what we will have for dinner tonight!

The movie marathon consists of:

What else!!! Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn 1.  That takes up 8 hours of the day!  Love doing this as I don't really have to watch them at this point to know what is going on.  I can just hear it and vision it in my mind! 

Throwing in a few loads of laundry as well.  WORKING ON THIS THROUGH BREAKING DAWN 1 SO I PRETTY MUCH FIGURE MYSELF DONE!

Work tomorrow and then blissful vacation!!!!! 

So what are you all doing today?

Just Keep Swimming: The Diary of a Dori Fyshe

Day Thirty-Three — A Day for Acknowledging Greatness

In the last thirty-two days, I have been to New York, Colombia, Australia,
Great Britain, Chicago, and a myriad other places. I have gone to beaches,
markets, parks, historical landmarks, and a dozen different workplaces.
I have become invested in what the people of this contest have to share, so this
is my thanks to them for taking me into their lives, their homes, and their minds.

Day 32/33: Bigfoot West

Not sure if I should be doing this, but I posted a HF teaser before and rangers said it's OK. Not many on topic cfs now anyway. Feel free to delete and all

Looks like the beginning of the next chapter. EPOV

EDIT: ALL OF THE HIGH FIDELITY THINGS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AND APPRECIATED ON ADF.

Long day this one, come inside and I'll share it with you.

Welcome to Day 32!  Where we cross state lines in search of retail bargains!

Day 32...

Day 32...

It is September 1st!!  I love autumn, it's my favorite time of year.  I love the leaves, and cool weather comfort foods, hot mugs of tea, and cooler weather.  My birthday and anniversary are both in September.  Autumn makes me freaking happy!

Fellow campers, what is making you happy right now?  What's going right in your life?  What makes you laugh, smile, rejoice?  

My own responses inside...

Day 32... right?
