Seeding Fruits, Dancing To Music, Sewing With Pink Thread, And Other Fun Stuff That I Like Doing!!!!

Today I learned how to use pomegranates! You see my mom scored a sweet deal on them at our second home......Kroger! We stocked up on those suckas and brought them home with us! We didn't realize until later that not one of us had any idea of how to eat, cook, or even use a pomegranate. I was then assigned to look up recipes and use them up before the poms went bad. At first I was vigilant, but after two days of failure to find advice I gave up and forgot about them.

For some reason I decided today that I was going to: Sew the sofa cushions back together, fix the glorious mushroom chair and make it even more glorious, do something with the pomegranates, and Blog about it all before noon!!! So now I've almost done all those things!!! Okay, so back to the pomegranates.......The first thing I did was google "Pomegranate Recipes" and surprisingly I found exactly what I was looking for. (Alright I'm not going to go through all of the long grueling steps of peeling, pitting, and seeding the pomegranates.) On the website it said that most people don't have patience with separating the seeds from the bitter membrane pieces that protect the seeds.......

The best part about this is that I actually enjoyed the long process! I guess I do have a little bit of patience after all!!!! As I was seeding and dancing to my music I noticed that when I have music playing I can concentrate and enjoy things that are usually a chore for everybody else. I love music!!!

    Did the pomegranates stain your hands? When I was a kid I got to eat pomegranates from my neighbor's tree, and they turned my hands (and the front of my shirt) brown. They were yummy! :)

For the past two weeks I've been eagerly awaiting my chance to learn how to quilt with the women in our Ward!!!! I went with Monkey this morning, and not only did I make a l ap quilt but I also found that I love q uilting !!!!! Because I was thinking so much about quilting I think it was hammered into my sub-conscience mind.........That's the only thing that can explain this dream, or I'm just weird. You choose. The Dream- In my dream I was running in the woods with a pile of fabric in one hand, and a sewing machine in the other. In the middle of a small clearing was a table, so I went up to the table and quickly laid out my stuff and started quilting. I was just a quarter of the way done when something crashed through the bushes behind me, one hand was still sewing while the other was hitting the creature that was trying to attack me. I kicked and hit the stuffing out of the thing, and it left battered and bruised with it's tail between it's legs. I just shook my...

Yes this is all true!

I have said many crazy things in my life. Most of them my mom has already blogged. So I'm going to blog this one. Besides it is my story. When we were at the pool Friday my mom wanted me to pull her around the pool. I did it, then I tried to pick her up in the water. I jokingly told her that I'll have to get married in a pool so my husband could carry me over the threshold. Please remember that I was joking. Well anyway this summer we spent a lot of it at the pool. So we saw the lifeguards frequently. One of them always had his Rubik cube with him, I thought it was interesting. So when I got home I said,"Mom I want an aerobics cube." Yes I thought it was an aerobics cube. I learned quickly that I was wrong. Because my mom started laughing and told me between laughs that its Rubik. Okay so now I get it. That's only a couple of the crazy things to have escaped my mind and come out of my mouth. So I don't feel alone on this matter please share some of the crazy ...

Be afraid, very afraid of the lama-eating casserole

Yesterday we finally finished working on the front yard! And I'm very excited about it. Before we finished Monkey, and I were talking while we weeded the big planter. Monkey was telling me about a girl in her class that can mimic all the characters on Napoleon Dynamite. I was laughing and quoting Tina's moment in the casserole spotlight until mom who was a couple feet away from me asked what I was talking about and I told her," Hello mom, you can't interrupt me while I'm talking about lama-eating casserole." I had meant to say casserole eating-lama, but whatever it didn't come out that way. As you can probably guess I was taken over by my laughing. After my laughter had died down, and I could see and talk clearly again my mom said to me,"If there was a lama-eating casserole you wouldn't be allowed in a petting zoo ." She said that they would tell me,"Sorry ma'am but that casserole is a danger to our lamas so you'll have to lea...
