I've been a little ABSENT lately, and have taken a break from the blog community.
During my time away I HAVE, in fact, kept myself very busy.
Over the past 10 days, I have:
* Organized the closets
* Sorted over 600 pictures (from my birth through adulthood) for scrapbooking and family archiving
* Spent a LOT of money on eBay
* Become the new reigning TETRIS champion of our household (two times)
* Sewn the tops to TWO twin-sized patchwork quilts
* Applied for Passports for our family
* Made three full-length kitchen aprons
* Learned how to make apple pie....from SCRATCH!
* Bought a Sony Handycam Camcorder--NOT from eBay
* Planned a Halloween/Fall Festival for our church
* BAKED two apple pies....from scratch (just for practice)
* Reviewed a bizillion house floorplans
*Lost 5 pounds without even trying (YeeHaw!)
It's been a good week, don't you think?

You made 2 apple pies (and I am assuming you ate some of them) and lost 5 lbs without even trying? I hate you!!!!
You should post pictures of your quilts you little D.G. you!
I KNOW! I can't believe it either. Trust me....that is NOT the "norm"! I think it's all the sewing...it may burn more calories than we think!
By the way, maybe there's more to your "sewing makes you lose weight" theory than you think! I mean, I sew almost every day and I can't keep any weight on if I try. (Not as big of a blessing as you might think) ;)
It's been a while since I sat down to read your blog. Let's be honest, it's been a while since I sat down long enough to do something for myself at all! :) You are incredible! You just have this aura around you that I can still feel reading your words. I love all the pictures of you! Your family is just so perfect together. I LOVE the pictures of you ice skating- I still remember doing that with you. Oh man, do I ever love your bookshelves!! I'm so impressed! If we ever get to move, I want to do things like that, but it will be more like making my hubby build it and I'll paint it or something. ;) I loved your blog a while ago about the Pottery Barn quilts. I, too, use that catalog as a catalyst for ideas. :) I have, since then, been planning my kids' quilts for our new house. I admire you so much and I love reading your blog!
OK I don't buy the sewing things because I sew too and nada. Diana- my grandma Ruth Bryan is neighbors with your in-laws in Erda! Lucie P. and I discovered that years ago when she and Nancy and I were roommates at BYU! Small world.
Sounds exhausting! That is great that you lost 5 pounds. I love it when that happens without even trying. Don't you just love "fall" food like apple pie and soup. I have been making some really yummy soup lately.
You just would not be you if you were not busy doing something and something I mean doing things to or around your house! :)
