Pears and Pairs

Tuesday, October 16, 2007 4:27:53 PM

slippers, fall, easy, fun, family, crochet

This weekend the kids were invited along with other neighbor kids to pick as many pears as they could carry from a tree here in the neighborhood. Needless to say, they brought home more than I could have imagined and now I am looking up recipes for pear ANYTHING. lol.

Also I wanted to post the pictures of the first pair of slippers that I made. They were a practice pair so I used some pretty ugly yarn and made a smaller pair for the youngest, but now that I have seen how easy they are I am going to buy some yarn to make a pair for the whole family. Ok watch out family, I am on a roll!!! hahahah they take less than 3 hours to make, so they are super easy! But anyway I am really enjoying crocheting, but need more practice before I invent my own patterns. Actually I am some time away from that venture. It is so hard for me to remember everything, we have so much going on…tonight is a ‘program’ night…so that’s where I’ll be.

This morning I treated myself to a white chocolate cappuccino, it was sooooo yummy, but I don’t want to think about the calories in it.

Oh well... I am just trying to get through THIS day, I have 2 kids at home that are not feeling well.

But they are settled and resting for a while at least.

I love this post, Sarah! You're so creative...I love how you capitalized the first letter of your paragraphs! Lovelovelove that look!

I'm so jealous of your family! You make the most awesome stuff!! I want slippers, too!

*sniffle* All I have are some store bought pieces of crapola with hard soles.

I like the hard soles because I can walk outside and not worry about them getting messed up, but they're not cozy AT ALL.

About the pears...Mmmm. The only fruit I will eat are

's (of course!), grapes, pears, lemons, limes, and a very occasional green apple. I'll probably die from Scurvy due to my lack of fruit intake.

Anyway, to sum it up, you're awesome! I love your ideas! :applause:

Karen

Hey Karen,
Please don't be jealous, they know not what they have!

They take advantage of me staying home, leaving their little stuff all over the place. Some days I feel like a straight up maid. But my escape is Opera and blogging...well and walking now. OMG speaking of, I saw parts of my town that could never been seen in a car yesterday. It is amazing to walk the path along the Wichita River! Hubby and I had a great time and ..and... he is sore today and I am not!

I was so proud of myself, because usually he is the one with all the extra energy. Oh

Now I feel bad..

Poor guy, maybe I will take it easier on him next time. Today we didn't walk, we had to pay bills.

Let me send you a pair of slippers.

Your poor footsies deserve better.

KarenNerak # Tuesday, October 16, 2007 5:28:24 PM

Were we separated at birth, or what?!

You just expressed EXACTLY how I feel! I often find myself wondering if I were to disappear for a week, what would happen. I have no doubt that the house would be a total mess! I realize that I'm a neat-freak, but geez. Is it that difficult to pick up after themselves?! Everyone has this attitude like, "Why should I bother cleaning it up? If I don't, Karen will because she can't stand messes!" It's true that I will do it because I really can't stand messes, but how cool is that?! I mean really...cut me some friggin' slack here! When is my day off????

D'oh!

Sorry...didn't mean to go off. Hehe...just some minor pent up agression.

You don't have to send me slippers! I was just complaining about the ones I have. I'm good at complaining.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Tuesday, October 16, 2007 5:36:54 PM

Oh feel free to get it off your chest. I agree, stay at home mothers do not really get a break from their job...sometimes on Sundays, I am sitting around going..."Ok, I am supposed to be off today, right? Where do I go to get my day off?" So then I usually go take a long hot bath with bath salts and bubbles...lots and lots of bubbles! I am sure you do the same thing in your monstrous tub that you have!

Recently I have felt more chatty and wanting to connect with others, so I do miss being in an office or public environment. But then on the days that I want to be anti social, I can.

That is the amazing thing about staying at home. If you had a p.o. box I would totally send you some slippers....speaking of, I need a P.O. box...ohh just something else to do...lol.

KarenNerak # Tuesday, October 16, 2007 5:43:59 PM

To be honest, I've only taken three baths in that big-ass tub since we've lived here. Every time I think of taking a bath, I immediately think, "Yeah, but then I'll have to scrub it later!"...that stops me from enjoying the tub. It's so huge that it's a pain in the ass to clean.

I'll make you a deal. I'll give you my address if you give me yours so I can send you something, too!

I'd feel all guilty if you went to all that trouble for me and I didn't do anything for you. Deal?

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Tuesday, October 16, 2007 5:53:54 PM

Ohhh no! You poor neat freak you! Can't enjoy a bath because of the cleaning? Oh snap! I forgot about the ouchy!

sowi. I changes 'big ass' to 'monstrous' because 'big ass' reminded me of my own 'big ass'

Ok, no problemo, i will send you the info. OMG I can't wait to make you a pair! What size and what color??

SIS!!!

KarenNerak # Tuesday, October 16, 2007 6:03:50 PM

Haha!

It doesn't really hurt my back too much to clean it...I'm just lazy about it.

Yay!

I wear size 9 shoes...and you can surpise me with the color.

I'm all excited! I know what I'm going to send you!

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Tuesday, October 16, 2007 8:16:00 PM

I got the email, I replied.

It is like a novel, sorry.

KarenNerak # Tuesday, October 16, 2007 8:26:53 PM

Don't be! I'll go check it now!....

Loiscakkleberrylane # Tuesday, October 16, 2007 11:49:49 PM

Pear pie!!! I used to make it in Canada. I'll see if I can find the recipe, my kids LOVED it!

KarenNerak # Wednesday, October 17, 2007 12:27:57 AM

Pear pie, huh? Hmmm...If you find the recipe, you should share it with me, too! *puppy dog eyes*

KarenNerak # Wednesday, October 17, 2007 12:30:55 AM

Since we've declared that we are so sisterly, I thought it'd be appropriate to create a picture of us as twins!

We are such hot bitches!

hungryghost # Wednesday, October 17, 2007 12:52:19 AM

My what big...............eyes you have my dear.

Halloween, here I come.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Wednesday, October 17, 2007 9:41:42 AM

Hey there Hungry, I made some for my daughter and stole them back, they are so warm and comfy, I don't think she was happy about that.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Wednesday, October 17, 2007 10:39:42 AM

I just thought of something...........MORE PAIRS!!

KarenNerak # Wednesday, October 17, 2007 2:12:28 PM

Yeah! This entry & its comments are full of pairs!

hungryghost # Wednesday, October 17, 2007 3:24:06 PM

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Wednesday, October 17, 2007 9:32:00 PM

KarenNerak # Wednesday, October 17, 2007 10:53:11 PM

I suddenly have an urge to do the motorboat thing! blubblubblubblubblub

Uncle MickMickeyjoe-Irl # Thursday, October 18, 2007 2:47:35 PM

Just one question... How did they train the butterflies

KarenNerak # Thursday, October 18, 2007 2:52:02 PM

There was no training required. Our boobies are so perfect that the butterflies feel honored to sit upon them.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Thursday, October 18, 2007 7:04:45 PM

I wish that I had that bod after 4 kids....

But honestly, I love myself no matter what...

I am the shorter one of the two of us by the way!

omg...a sick kid is singing in the room....yeah..so sick.

KarenNerak # Thursday, October 18, 2007 9:39:50 PM

I love you no matter what, too!

Since you're shorter, you can pick the stuff up off the floor for me and I'll reach the stuff in the super high cupboards and whatnot. We'll tag-team that shiznit! w00t!

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Friday, October 19, 2007 12:31:49 PM

Ok that's a deal, fo rizzle my fizzle.

KarenNerak # Friday, October 19, 2007 3:06:47 PM

Word, Homeslice!

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Friday, October 19, 2007 3:26:53 PM

We're so hot....

KarenNerak # Friday, October 19, 2007 3:36:19 PM

Hells yes, we are. People could fry eggs on our perfectly formed little tushies! (But if they tried, I'd bitch-slap 'em!)

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Friday, October 19, 2007 4:19:24 PM

I know this is so off topic, but when people are sick in the family do you go around cleaning everything with Clorox bleach spray and Lysol?

I am manic about it today

KarenNerak # Friday, October 19, 2007 4:31:36 PM

I do that even when nobody's sick! Haha! I use those Clorox wipes things constantly! I have a minor germ phobia I think.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Friday, October 19, 2007 5:11:28 PM

Ok good, I am not the only one. I even try to get C with them.

KarenNerak # Friday, October 19, 2007 5:33:26 PM

Hahaha! I do that to Lonnie, too! I wipe his keyboard & mouse when he's not lookin'! Hahaha! He's got to wonder what that lemon fresh scent is, doesn't he?

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Friday, October 19, 2007 5:54:50 PM

HAHAH! me too! You know millions of germs are just thriving there!

KarenNerak # Friday, October 19, 2007 6:10:52 PM

I KNOW!!! I'm getting the weebie jeebies just thinking about it!

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Friday, October 19, 2007 6:17:11 PM

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb100/bartch13/purel.jpg -

Need some?

KarenNerak # Friday, October 19, 2007 6:21:47 PM

Some weebies or some jeebies?

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Friday, October 19, 2007 6:22:51 PM

OK finally got it *sneeze

KarenNerak # Friday, October 19, 2007 6:33:31 PM

Ooooh...the picture didn't show up before. Now I see it!

I have a big vat of my own, but thanks so much for offering!
