I finished the black eyed peas which are better than the scones I screwed up. I think I had way too much baking soda (would that taste acidiTc). I hate when I screw up baking.

Tomorrow will be orange cinnamon rolls then a long ride out to the desert. Gotta occupy a day somehow.

Ooh, tomorrow I get to have neighbor-made bacon for breakfast! Good one. Our neighbors are the best.

Gotta occupy a day somehow.

This is such a foreign concept to me.

I can't find blackeyed peas in my pantry, but I have made my peace with that. Maybe next year, as I seem to find myself saying a lot lately.

Too much baking soda ought to be basic rather than acidic, I think? But bitter, that much I know from experience (meaning to use powder and using that amount of soda in my case. Yecch.)

I am apparently in exactly the right frame of mind for Nova Science Now. Highly enjoyable. Also, olives are freakin' delicious, my goodness.

This is such a foreign concept to me.

me too. I am a sitter and a watcher for many many days.

I should be cooking. I announced on fb that I was starting to cook. I am not cooking. I remembered I need to pay my property taxes today or I cannot claim them on this years taxes, so looking for that number.

Well, it's more like I have to occupy the kids for a day and I'm tired of playing catch, watching a bike being ridden, and refereeing board games.

I hope you find it soon!

I just remembered I have new pajamas saved up for this evening and put them on. They're super cozy.

Yes, I am dressed for bed before 7:30. No regrets!

Yeah, Kat I remember those years when there was no self-entertaining. One of the very good things about them getting older, IMO.

ok taxes paid, kinex hooked-up, I MUST COOK.

Cook like the wind, msbelle!

They do entertain each other quite a bit. But Grace isn't fun to play catch with for Noah. And all bike riding has to be supervised.

I'm just a little twinned out at the moment.

Oh dear god. I have to help Noah make a pinewood derby car. WHY? Why did I agree to scouts? This sucks.
