A Sad, Sad Thing

My brother recently told me, nothing is sadder then an unupdated blog.  Which makes mine a sad, sad thing. 

The problem is, aside from moving across the country, not much is going on around here.  No really.  The other day I was so bored I whipped up a new blouse before girls night.  Now, I'm not saying the blouse was perfect, I discovered after wearing it for hours that I sewed the back strap in noticeably backwards, but I had enough time on my hands to walk to the zip car place half a mile away, realize I didn't have my zip card, walk back to my house, walk back to the zip car place (did I mention it was uphill both ways?).  I made it to Joannes fabrics, had a leisurely lunch at Mission Cheese, walked back up hill and then sat around debating whether or not to actually sew, sewed, broke my sewing machine, and then hand stitched the rest of my hem. 

And let's just be honest here.  The only reason I was sewing is because I have been baking too much which simply means I am getting fat and need new clothes.  Well, I'm elaborating slightly, but if I don't stop baking then it will get to that point pretty soon.  Fortunately there's all those hills...

But now that it is autumn I just can't stop myself!  Butternut squash mac and cheese, butternut squash enchiladas, stuffed baked apples and dutch apple pie, pumpkin pie, coconut oatmeal cookies with cinnamon chips, and tonight butternut squash soup with creme fraiche and croutons.  Oh, and those pumpkin scones I made earlier today.  And then ate three. 

Clearly I need a new hobby.  Perhaps, perhaps, updating my sad, sad blog.
