My mom sent this to me this morning, and I love them so much. I think I'm going to need to finally learn this song on the accordion.

blog #322 >> Missing My Laptop
Dear Lappy,
Please come home soon. I miss you terribly. Not that I'm not thankful for this other laptop that my parents let me borrow. But it's not you, and it doesn't even have Photoshop on it. Plus I keep on pressing "Alt" instead of "Ctrl." I hope they finish fixing you soon, really soon. But until then, I'll just keep on thinking about all the great times we had together, and dreaming of all the things we've yet to do.
Your ever loving,
T
I finally got this borrowed laptop to connect to the Internet. I'm not even sure how I did it, but it works. Hopefully my Internet withdrawls are at an end. I have to admit though that I've gotten a lot accomplished this week without a computer in the house. I played the accordion every night, got some sewing finished and made some amazing dinners. However, the Internet has become my main source of communication and I'm sort of lost now without it.
Let's see...
While my computer was down I made these earrings to sell at our craft fair.
And I bought this bedroom set. I don't have the bed up yet, and I'm still looking for a matching dresser, but I love the vanity.
(I also really miss Photoshop, and I realize that I need to clean my camera lens and not always clone stamp out the spot.)
Also, just a reminder to come visit me and Trina and DoorMouse Designs at:
Skating With Scissors Craft Bazaar

Sept. 19th 11am-7pm

blog #319 >> You say tomato...
I say tomata, let's call the whole thing off.
I really wish I liked tomatoes. I like ketchup, I like tomato soup, I like spegitti sauce, I like stewed tomatoes, I even like them sliced up on sandwiches. But I can't bring myself to just eat a plain old tomato... eh, they make me gag. I tell myself I should like tomatoes, they're like strawberries, small red, with little green stems. But really tomatoes are NOTHING like strawberries. And I think homemade ketchup will be the final resting place to many of these tomatoes. Homemade ketchup is completely different from the stuff you buy in the store. And I haven't had any in years.
Beef steak variety.
Cherry tomatoes, which also taste nothing like cherries.
I actually really do like these little guys. Maybe because they look and taste so little like regular tomatoes. I like to roast them with a little salt and pepper and add them to salads.
Also, the Swiss chard is finally doing well, only I'm at a complete loss as to how to cook it. If anyone has any good chard recipes please send them to me!
I think I'm going to try planting a fall crop of lettuce, spinach and peas this year. I'm excited to see how they turn out.

blog #318 >> Replaced
When I got back to work today from my vacation, I was shocked to learn that I had been replaced by cardboard! Apparently, the Graphics Department got lonely and behind while I was away, so they created this cardboard cutout to act as my replacement until I returned. All I can say is the cardboard cutout did a terrible job in my place. My desktop was a mess and I don't think it checked my email even once while I was gone. I fired it promptly when I got back. But at least it gave Mary someone to talk to. And the likeness to myself is remarkable. From behind you'd hardly notice the difference. They also ran all my pens, pen-mug and teacup through the shrink-wrapper while I was away. It was kinda like Christmas getting to open all those little packages.

blog #317 >> Blackberry Cobbler
Caught up at last! Now perhaps I can get back to my regular blogging schedule. Here is the blackberry cobbler I made from the blackberries I picked out camping. I used my sister's recipe and it turned out delicious. It's the perfect thing for a bucket blackberries or any type of berry really. Now I'm back on my regular work schedule too and it's almost time to go...
