I wasn't entirely sure that I was going to make it through this day, but it looks like I finally did! "A" and I don't really have any BIG plans for the long weekend, but I do have some projects I would like to get done. I have got to do some cleaning around the house...it's a really big mess. My mom is going to teach me how to sew and hopefully we will make some new throw pillows for my couch. I also am going to make some chocolate peanut chip cookies!!
Tonight I have some homemade popsicles in the freezer and I can't wait till they are frozen! I can't remember which blog I found them on (if it was yours please tell me so I can properly give you credit!). I put frozen strawberries, blueberries, red raspberries and blackberries in the popsicle "molds" and then filled them the rest of the way with White Grape Peach 100% Juice. I really think they are going to be delicious!!
I hope that everyone has a fantastic holiday weekend and thank someone for your freedom!

Hope you are able to relax this weekend and enjoy learning how to sew.
Those Popsicles sound yummy!
I too will be working around the house. The popsicles sound amazing! The cookies...well they sound positively sinful. I hope you enjoy your weekend hon :)
Your popsicles sound great. I'm wondering if I can get my children to eat frozen berries like that. We love them fresh. I suppose I could whizz them up into a puree first and then fill the molds.
I'm sorry to hear about the friend who has hurt your feelings. I would have felt the same way, I'm sure.
The thing is that, despite being sensitive, caring and wanting to say how sorry they are to hear of a death, lots of people have a lot of difficulty expressing sympathy.
When I was younger, I would turn red, trip over my own tongue and sometimes dissolve in tears. I think that it's not unusual to avoid a face-to-face condolence if possible. One step removed is a phone call or email. Further, but still acceptable, could be writing a heartfelt note instead and giving the person a silent, but meaningful, hug when you see them instead.
Try not to let your friends social faux pas come between you permanently. It may have been inconsiderate of her, but perhapsshe was one of those who panic at actually being present with and for someone who is grieving.
can I come over for a cookie and a pop sicle?
as for sewing...you go girl! That's awesome! I have a wonderful sewing, embroidery machine in my closet..just need to beat the dust off of it and learn to use it :) Your are inspiring me!
HUGS and Happy Weekend
