a bunch of gibberish

I spent this morning driving around trying to find an address to pick up free patterns and cooking light magazines. I saw an add on freecycle.org and someone was giving them away. She said she would leave the things on her porch this morning by 7:30 am. So I drove over there around 9, and nothing was there. I even emailed her last night to make sure she was putting them out, and she said she would. Then I thought, well maybe I have the wrong address, so I drove up and down the street (which is very long and stretched across a major road) to see if anyone had something on their porch resembling these items. I did, however, notice the millions of neighborhood watch signs around, thinking that someone was probably snooping and wondering why I was driving up and down the street!

Twenty minutes later I decided maybe it was time to leave and go check out the thrift store. I found a couple of interesting jars, and something for the swap, but nothing in the fabric department. I really need to go check out some more stores in the area! So after leaving the store, I decided to drive by the house again to see if the items were there, but no such luck. Hopefully she'll e-mail me back to let me know what's going on.

Anyway, I've been having a hard time finding the motivation to do any crafting. I mean, I really want to, but I've been feeling so tired by the time Isaiah goes to bed, that I hardly have any motivation to do so! Our house is still packed with moving boxes, so anytime that I have a free second, I feel I should be doing something to get the house in order. Ugh, the work of a housewife! I should be getting paid for this!

Last night I did manage to get one teeny tiny thing made. Hopefully there will soon be others to join her and I'll have something to show you.

In other news, I found this great coffee drink at Target yesterday. If any of you are Starbucks fanatics like I am, you probably know about the Java Chip Frappucino. My hubby loves them, and as soon as I saw this, I thought he'd love it. I think they were $3.99 for 6, which is just about the same as paying for 1 starbucks drink. It's a powdered mix that you add coffee, milk, or water to and either serve over ice or blend with ice. They're really tasty and highly recommend them!

And for a good laugh, yesterday after Isaiah went to bed I thought I'd plant some more seeds. It was so nice outside, I think it got up to 85! Anyway, after planting the seeds, I went inside to fill up the watering can and then went along, happily watering my plants. Then all of a sudden I felt a large wet drop, which I thought was bird poop because it couldn't possibly be rain with a bright sunny sky. Oh, you guessed it, a quick afternoon shower, and me standing outside watering the garden with a watering can. Hmmm... now my neighbors must really think I'm crazy!
