A Thousand Apologies...

I hate excuses but sometimes that's all that will cover what's happening. So here is my list of excuses for "Why I haven't Posted in WAY too long".

1. the first 2 weeks of school are treacherous and I am swamped
2. Out of Town family celebration
3. My Schnauzer, Gracie had to be hospitalized for 3 days (she's much better now)
4. Cleaning up the aftermath of the roofing fiasco
5. Lack of inspiration

It's that last one that is bothering me the most but I think I may have beaten it. I have lots of great ideas swirling around in my ol' noggin that I will be writing about over the next few days.

I also want to give some updates on previous posts. The "30 Days of Food" post bears another look. I was cleaning out my freezer in preparation to do another day of cooking and found that I don't need to! I still have enough food to last another week or so. That means that my one-time, day-long cooking experiment actually filled my freezer (and my tummy) for over 2 MONTHS! I will definitely change some of recipes next time, I'm getting pretty tired of Spinach and Pasta Bake.

The "Stillwater Collection Center" post also deserves another plug. I have been faithfully dropping off my recycling every week and have seen my garbage pick-up reduced to less than one small bag per week. NICE! I am currently recycling paper (newspapers, mail, magazines)cardboard (food boxes, soap boxes, hair coloring boxes yikes!) tin, aluminum, glass and plastics. That covers just about all of my trash!

Finally, the "Day of The Worm" post. Sadly, my worm babies aren't fairing very well. I'm sure it's the heat and not my tender loving care. I have been giving them all sorts of tasty veggie treats and grass clippings but they just don't look "happy". If you have any ideas, I am open to any and all suggestions.

Tomorrow, I promise to write something GREEN!
