Domestic Me

Let me start by apologizing if any of you heard a song of ours called "The Way I Am" by Ingrid M something. If you heard it I'm sorry if not don't worry about it. Not sure how it got on our playlist.

I digress.

I've wanted to make jam for a few years now and last Monday I finally did.

My favorite. Strawberry, I'm salivating just looking at the pictures.

Didn't make quite as much as I had hoped for. Nine and a half jars doesn't last very long.

I've been slaving away in the garden. You really can't see how many tulips are starting to pop up out of the ground but I'm excited to see them bloom. I'm a little bummed though because after "patching" the lawn and putting new garden soil down (not pictured) I can't really do anything else now until after the frost. Unless....I start building the garden boxes. Hurray for me.

I've really been getting into the holidays lately. It all started with me buying themed holiday earrings for my sunbeams and now I just get excited for a holiday. I don't really own any St. Pattys day decor so I improvised and used my Halloween cauldron as a pot of gold. They used to be leprechauns on the pot. (You can tell by the hats)

Did I mention the shamrock shaped chocolate dipped espresso cookies I skillfully crafted?

8 things

Eight things I'm passionate about:

(Not sure I'm passionate about 8 things)

Gardening

Well I'm getting there. I don't have a garden but I'm slowly trying to take over me mums.

Reading

I even read crappy books. If I start I feel it necessary to finish them. I have only ever chucked two across the room and not finished.

Currently I'm reading "Pope Joan" want to stop but it's just interesting enough to keep me reading.

Eating

I'm never hungry (well mostly never) but I will always eat.

I love to try new things, especially if it will gross Chris out.

My Family

It probably doesn't seem like it to them but I'd do almost anything for them. If they are ever threatened....I'll cut ya

Keeping organized

I get made fun of sometimes but it's how I roll and I can usually find whatever I'm looking for

Being a good friend

I always try my best. I know I'm a good listener (not so much good at advice) and I AM the best secret keeper. BEST
