Creative Saturday



I didn't have a creative spark today. In fact, I found that I was feeling a bit melancholy so at the last minute, I decided to make clam chowder for dinner. Even that turned out "just okay".

I need to learn that when I'm just not feeling "creative" to give in and not force it.

Lesson learned.

Did you have a creative Saturday?

It looks really good, especially in the bread bowls. No creativity here on Saturday, but a nice relaxing day!

I love bread bowls but hate clam chowder. If I wasn't diabetic, nothing would make me happier than warm bread and soft butter! Oh, and a cherry pie fresh out of the oven and ONE fork. Hey, who said sharing is good!

It seems that women can't have a "ME" day, or a down day, without feeling guilty and forcing themselves to be productive.

That sure looks good.

I didn't have a creative Saturday. I spent the day helping two sick and shut-in friends. Unfortunately, at my age, there are many.

Never been a fan of clam chowder. I did not do anything creative on Saturday other than go explore a new small Italian specialty market with a friend. They had some neat things in their shop, sauces, pastas, etc, and also made sandwiches and lasagna to order. My friend and I each had a cappucino and tried one of their canolis. The service was very friendly BUT I did not like the canoli, especially after having the most delicious food in Brooklyn NY on my recent trip.

I wasn't very creative on Saturday either Simone...feeling much the same way as you...it's the January "blahs" around here (happens every year!!).

Your clam chowder looks yummy (love it in the bread bowl) and yes, when the creative spark isn't there and the wood is a little too damp to light the flame...not forcing it is the best thing to do. :)

I took a trip to rock my youngest grandchild, ended up givin' him a ride on a skateboard. Does that count as creative??? Heeeheehe!

Have a great day and when those juices aren't flowin' I've found it's just best not to push it. :o)

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful.

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
