Not a lot going on today. I normally do grocery shopping and my thrift hop, but Beloved Hubby wasn't feeling well, so I stayed home with him. It was like an extended Thanksgiving !

Caught up my other blog, it's mostly doll-based. Much as I love it - and I do, it's been up for just over five years now ! - sometimes I just don't feel like posting. Can't keep myself from writing, so I store it in a weekly Word document, and post it when I'm in a better mood. Since it's often not a lot of content, I always include an image, and that's the holdup, because taking, editing, and posting the best photo or scan takes time I sometimes just don't have !

Like most of us, I try to learn something new every day. Today, I figured out how to post links to images in the other blog, since I'm doing theme images for all of December there. But I love posting pix of great yard sale finds or finished craft stuff, so this way, I can have both !

While waiting for Dearest Son's bus this afternoon, I broke down all the cardboard boxes I had in the kitchen, loaded them into the car. I'll take them to the recycling bins down the street later this week. Our town has curbside recycling, but I've seen the pick-up crews just dump the whole bin in a regular trash truck, glass, plastic, cardboard, all mixed together. It's difficult to think , 'Oh, they must sort it later.', since they haven't been hiring, so I recycle my own way.

Made spaghetti tonight, with sausage in the sauce the way my guys like it. Cooked a whole pound of it today, and froze three 3.4 oz packages of it for later, and we ate the fourth. Next three spaghetti nights will be much easier !  I just love my yard-sale digital scale... it only goes up to five pounds, but it's so handy in the kitchen.

I'm not sure why, but our Dearest Son will eat spaghetti if I mix in two sizes or types of pasta together. Tonight it was thin spaghetti and angel hair, cooked in the same pot, just added at different times. I'm too lazy and hate doing dishes too much to cook two pots ! We've also done rotini and regular spaghetti, and linguini and spaghetti together. One pasta by itself he barely eats, but show him there's  two kinds, and he cleans his plate. I can't figure it out, I just use it to my advantage !

Taking three large bags to the Thrift tomorow. Hope it helps - and that I find something good !
