{'Round Here}

Hi there.
{Yes, The Boss' iphone was hijacked again}.
This week is flying by...kinda just like they all do.
This week I had to work the school Book Fair one day, the next morning we had Donuts With Dad
and Muffins With Mom...and the kindergarten play is coming up in just a few weeks.
My job will be working on scenery and basically harassing/begging other parents to pelase help with costumes. I don't mind helping and going to the meetings but I don't like being "in charge".
I don't mind bossing around my own family but don't especially like bossing other people around.
Well, not usually anyway.

Tonight I am going to my mom and dad's for an official Noodle-Making Lesson.
My mom and a few of her sisters make homemade noodles for Easter and Thanksgiving dinner
for around 65+ people every year. Every single year. Just like my grandma did. I know I have
mentioned it several times before but I think it bears repeating, my mom is one of 15 kids, so we have BIG family get-togethers. Big-big.
The noodle pot looks like one they would use to serve people in a Soup Kitchen or Homeless Shelter
or something...seriously. Not trying to be funny, it is just that huge.
Anyway, wish me luck. I love to bake but not so much with the cooking.
I do feel strongly that this is a tradition that has to be passed down and kept up by the next generation though, so a noodle-making I will go!  A couple of my cousins are coming tonight too and I think they have a lot more experience than I do, which is a good thing. So there might just be hope, yet.

Today we plan to go buy some grass seed, run a couple of errands and get these earrings packaged up and ready to mail. Sorry girls. Remember what a procrastinator I am? I know, I know. See the little orange juice set in the sixth photo? My aunt got me that set at an antique store recently, it is so cute. I need to get some good pictures of that and the rest of my treasures soon. I will, I will. It came with about twelve little glasses, a little pitcher and a decanter. Now I have envisioned a big Sunday breakfast with an omelet casserole, fruit and orange juice in my new little set. Hahhaha...at least a fun little antique set can inspire me to cook, I'll take inspiration anywhere I can find it.

I guess in yesterday's post I made it sound like I got a brand new lens, huh? Yeah, well....I didn't. 

I meant the new-ish one I got for Christmas. I am just now able to really use it since the weather is FINALLY nice and there is actually something to photograph. The lens is the Nikkor 55-200 mm.

Well, lots to do around here today although I really just feel like curling up on the couch, reading blogs and looking at gardening magazines, drinking coffee and painting my nails. Maybe I will squeeze that in later though. Hope everyone has a great day. The weekend is just around the corner...wahooooooo!
