Frugal people eat soup. Today's soup is a beef soup thickened slightly with cornstarch and includes potatos, carrots, onions, one can of tomatos, beef stock, water and 1lb pound of beef meat -- along with a few spices. There are a lot of servings of this -- as I doubled my made up recipe.
The weekend was busy -- wedding was fun. Our table setup was cool and met some interesting/fun people, including Phil R. and Jeremy S. lovechild. It was weird. Then we left to meet up with James for a drink at the Boathouse. Afterward me went to the Hampton Inn in Milwaukee where (MIL) Sharon set us up with a great deal for a hotel room. Only 30 bucks! Nice. The only not nice thing was being woken up twice by very loud sex in the room next door.
We also volunteered to help DH's parents pack up their house and move everything to a storage unit this Saturday. They STILL don't know where they are going too. Man...talk about living on the edge and having faith. We told them they could stay with us, but I hope it doesn't come to that. I don't *think* it will. I mean, who wants to go and live with their kids when they are still able to live for themselves?
I convinced Tim to be the King of all Cosmos if I make him the outfit!!!!
Laima and I are accepted for Warner Park HolidayFest:
HolidayFest Arts and Craft Show
Saturday, Dec. 3, 2005, 9 am – 3 pm
Admission $1
That makes it TWO craft shows I am in this year. Holy craft! I mean it's one thing to conquer my fear of selling wares by going to one show, but two in a row? That's really beating the fear down. As you might have guessed I am VERY busy making crafts.
One other thing I would like to bring up -- since a Christmas party is unlikely (I still think someone else should host it this year), I would like to have a Cookie party -- in which lady friends, or those men friends who like to bake and write cards and gossip -- might get together. The idea is to either make or bring two batchs of cookie dough, bake them and then divy them up in the end so we all have a great assortment of cookies. As an added touch, I was thinking we could write christmas cards WHILE we are baking. I have a bunch of stamping stuff that we could use -- as I am sure others have...and it would be a great start to the Christmas season. Of course I am bringing this up now, because I would like to know if there are any specific weekends that are not good for you. It's such a busy time of the year and it's always good to plan ahead. :D
Okay, back to work.

I'd be interested in a christmas cookie get together at your house. Just let me know when.
Tiara and I did one yearly before I moved and we plan on doing it again at my house if you want to come to that as well. We make chocolate covered pretzels and stained glass cookies. Laima and Hilary and whoever else could come too if they want to come ALL the way up to GB.
What sorts of crafts are you ladies making for the fairs? I'm not usually a beadwork person, but I'd totally buy the kinds of cards you make.
Hmm...cookie and card party...I won't be organized with my Christmas cards for writing until after Dec. 16th. (I'm taking the day after my birthday off, to do the artwork and color photocopying and such.) However, if the party were before that I'd be glad to hang out and bake. I suppose I could get started on my envelopes, too.

You should whip up a beaded christmas tree for the show since Christmas is coming up.
wow - you know more than one Phil R.? i mean, yeah, the author philip roth has the same Phil R.thing going for him too but it isn't that common...
or did you mean it was someone who seemed like the lovechild of myself and jeremy s.? 'cause i'm not sure how to feel about that... oh, what the hell: flattered.
