Boy do I need to update....

Ok, So I know I need to update, but I don't have a lot to tell really. I will give it my best shot (though pathetic). Mel loves her hair cut so much that she decided to cut a few chunks herself! (Don't look too closely at it and you might not be able to tell) Things are getting crazy around here.... Julia has amazing climbing capabilities. Not kidding you - she can get to ANYTHING she is in the mood to eat!! Anyone have a size 3T straitjacket??
I have the cookbook bug, just not the cooking one! I love to look at my new cookbooks (courtesy of the Waldenbooks sale). I will be adding my crock pot Chili recipe tonight if it turns out yummy!! I have finally marked every recipe that I would like to try. Be on the lookout in the next few weeks for some great recipes on my recipe blog!! I have just a few days to get things "tied up" around here to welcome home the hubby. Yay, he will be home for less than 30 days!!! FINALLY!!! To have him home! (note to readers: read that sentence enthusiastically instead of sarcastically) I already have some challenges of my own to deal with while he is on deployment. You won't be left out of the loop. Keep checking back.
The library has been LOVING me lately with all the books I have been putting on hold about quilting/sewing. I have to take them back now - there is just too much information. I do plan on quilting in the VERY near future though. I think I would like to start with a tote. That way I can have a smaller, yet more functional Church bag.
Then comes the subject of closure. Boy do I need a little bit of it right now with some things in my life. They just happen to be difficult things to actually get closure with though (if anyone catches my drift...maybe I am sounding just TOTALLY nuts to everyone right now) I do need some advice though. Should I get my closure (or my say rather) - or should I let it slide for the next 18 months?
I got a chance to talk to the 8-11 year old girls on Saturday (thank you Heidi for the opportunity!) and really had a blast. I was teaching a little bit about skin care for them and they washed their faces. At the end, a little girl asked me, "How come everyone looks the same?" It was too cute! Beware of that face wash you use today - it may change you into something different!
Then I got the chance to help out with the Primary Bulletin Board. Well, my Cricut helped actually, I didn't do anything. I had a good time visiting with the ladies that came by and really wish that my house could stay in a "mostly clean" state so that people can do that ALL THE TIME!!! (stop by that is) Plus, that would put me in the mood to bake more often because then I know I would be sharing my treats with friends instead of them sitting all alone in their container until I slowly (but surely) eat them all.
