Fall

Ok, I'm feeling slightly back to normal.

Meaning: I cooked myself dinner tonight, and tomorrow night: card making! Liv is back.

I haven't been feeling like doing either of these things lately, which is strange, considering I LOVE both! Summer seemed to have disrupted my schedule, rhythm, desires, etc. Either it was too hot to cook or make cards, or I wanted to play outside, or I was just plain tuckered out (Papa, did I get this phrase from you???).

Today feels like Fall. We've had soup in the bakery the last couple days (pumpkin!). It's cooler out (I was wearing my teddy bear of a jacket today around the house...). There's not so much damn daylight all the time. And I am happy to say that I want to cook again.

So tonight, because I had zucchini dominating our fridge, I decided to see if my favorite cooking blogger, Joy the Baker, had zucchini recipes. Yup! Zucchini pancakes! Oh my. The eating is still in progress. I added some of my own ingredients, too, and they are delicious. She's good.

And I still have a GIANT bowl of shredded zucchini. Tomorrow--zucchini sweet potato bread. Watch out.

I realized in the last couple days that I feel weighed down when I have a to-do list in the back of my mind. I think being an adult is so ridiculous and energy consuming. And half the time I feel like I'm faking adulthood, anyway. For example, I've had our old TV on the porch for the last few/several months. It's tacky. We're like one of those nice houses you walk by and whisper, "such a beautiful house...why do they leave their shit on the front porch?" To make it better, I fished out this incredibly beautiful red chair out of the dumpster at work because it's missing legs and I decided to make our front porch its new home. Right. I like to give myself projects and not do them. How simple is it to put my TV in the car and drive down to Goodwill? I'm not an advocate for negative self-talk, but come on, Liv. Also, this chair, I'm telling you, is beautiful. Today I told my boss I wanted to make it into a rocking chair. She said I can't because I don't have babies. I'll show her.

So my other project tonight: take old TV to Goodwill. I'll let 'cha know how it goes.

Oh fall, I love you.
