My lapse in judgment didn't stop there, as I tried my hand at some DIY decorating in the dining room. Like many of my projects, it started off with grand ambitions, become more work that I wanted, fizzled into a fit of "Why did I do this?" and ended up being okay. This project turned out pretty much exactly how I thought it would. Go me.
Over the summer we went on a wonderful trip to Hawaii with Mr. Man's family. We went to Kauai, which is made up of 1/3 chickens, 1/3 ants, and 1/3 people. You think the ants would be eaten by the chickens which would be eaten by the people, but that's simply not the way it works.
We once again went to the state fair and ate as much fried food as we could. Our favorite was the fried peanut butter cup macaroon. Deeeeelicious! I also had to try the fried butter. Yes, people, fried butter. How could I not try it? I got mine with a cherry topping. While I probably won't eat fried butter again, I'm proud to say I've done it once.
This year did not see me doing any quilting, although I certainly have some unfinished projects that are waiting. Maybe in 2010. I did, however, make my mother a set of ornaments for Christmas, one for each of her children, their spouses, and her grandchild.
What about our fuzzy little friend? Well, Briscoe spent his year going on button rampages and getting fat. He is now on a diet that includes less food and far less buttons. Poor thing is none too happy about it, he has started scrounging around for stray bits of crumbs. Here is is checking out Mr. Man's face for any morsels of wayward candy.
Wishing you and yours a very happy new year!
