OH MY ACHING ELBOW!

I can't help it, I'm a control freak! Decided today we were going to get out the leaves from our backyard to the street. And yup, I strapped on the leaf blower. Gary took photos, but I'm too embarrassed to show them! First off, I was laughing so hard as was Gary at this sight! WHAT WAS I THINKING? Gary and I were thinking we were going to drag out every last leaf to the front. NOPE! IT'S AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK WITH THE EQUIPMENT WE HAVE! We need to have 1 of those push blowers, but it wouldn't fit in our car when we tried to rent it. So not every leaf it gone, but it does look fine. A little mulch next spring and welp those leaves will be history!

Just made another batch of ravioli and homemade sauce for dinner. I'm obsessed with making ravioli! Entered a contest in a cooking magazine I read. I'll never win because I think my recipe is just too easy. Whatever!

Downloaded a recipe for chocolate pretzels. They look like real fun to bake and will hold off to try baking them until Emily comes home on Friday for a MONTH! AAAAAAAAAAH! A month! She can't be living here like it's a HOTEL again! You know, I'm the maid service, room service, chauffeur, concierge. All that fun stuff.

If I get brave I might upload my leaf blowing photos -- you will have to wait and see my mood.

Busy end of the year week for me. Must get to my filing and clean up the folders for the new year! Plus I have to start the swatching of the new line. Can't get behind on all my tasks! And the BAKING! Oh all that BAKING! Did get to the peanut brittle yesterday and wrapped them up before tasting too much! And is it ever tasty!

Best,

Jane
