Things I Thought I Wouldn't Do

#1 - I didn't think I'd let it go 6 months between blog entries.
6 months, minus 2 days. Same difference. Let's just pick up with today.


#2 - I didn't think I'd subconsciously pick out matching outfits for my kids.

Oh, well. I'm not ashamed. Brown prints equally good on them.

#3 - I didn't think I'd get my husband to eat a veggie burger.

Maybe it's because it said 'Asian'.


#4 - I didn't think I'd use one of these any time soon.

I played for a wedding today, and I fixed my hair. I hear your snickers.


#5 - I didn't think I had the knack for using this.
I still don't think God gave me that natural ability to whip out whatever I dream up, but I have found that I have the desire. So, I invested in this fabulous machine that might make up for some of my unfabulousness. Already on the to-do list? Quilt, aprons, skirts, and gifts that I will not disclose in case you are the future recipient. I was supposed to go to the fabric store (a minimum of an hour and fifteen to get to one) after the wedding today. It closes at 6 on Saturdays. ???!!!!

#6 - I didn't think I'd ever be able to do this.

This is what I did to cheer myself up when the fabric store trip got cancelled. I hate how my hands dry up when they're covered with dirt. Hate it. When my neighbor brought me a beautiful potted plant a few years ago, I killed it. I've even killed ivy that lived indoors. Just picking out plants for a container garden (is that what they're called?) makes me so nervous that I was sure the Lowe's employees were taking bets on who would have to catch me when I passed out. (Exaggeration is good for the soul?) I'm gardenically challenged, despite having parents and in-laws with green thumbs. So, here's to doing things you thought you couldn'twouldn'tshouldn't do! Heck, I was so inspired, I even planted some basil seeds in a broken coffee cup. Coffee flavored basil. Hmmm... I hadn't thought of that 'til just now.
