Sunday morning~ it was 53 when I got up at 7, so cool that I put on a jacket. Well, last night sitting around the firepit over at Theresa's visiting I had on jeans (first since warm weather) and a jacket! LOVE it....LOVE, LOVE, LOVE......just wished falll lasted as long as winter and summer.
Debbi, who I hope is sitting on her front porch enjoying some fall like temps over at http://debbisfrontporch.blogspot.com/ made a statement on my blog about fudge and her love for it. She stated that she has a recipe that she makes only at Christmas cause it requires cooking and a lot of prep....well Ms. Debbi, years ago I elected to make my life simple. I cut out cooking (haha), actually I did start doing things different to make things easier on me. Cooking was one thing I did change. When my kids were young I cooked breakfast for them before leaving for work, I cooked dinner and once a week we would eat out or I would bring something in. Also, once a week we would have soup and sandwiches. I was a single working mom and I needed to cut stuff somewhere. But reading my blog you will see that I am not much on cooking at all. I am not a fan of cooking, but more of, I am not a fan of clean up! haha..Reason for changing the cooking was basically cause my kids were gone, and I found it so hard to cook for one.
BUT....
I love baking. I love sweets of course but when I bake I end up giving a lot a way. Same with my cooking when I cook. I gave Julie and James two pieces of Honey Mustard Chicken and some carrots and Theresa got some chicken also.
Anyway, in reply to the fudge comment, I am only making the SIMPLE type of fudge, microwave kind!!! Not a lot of prep or cook time. When the micro type is as good as it is, I am not sending a lot of time doing the other.
Boy do I go a total round about way to tell something!!???
Gotta get off this baking thing though...in the past 1.5 yrs I have gained, 12 lbs. Yesterday it was 15, if only I could lose (and keep it off) as fast as the scales bounce back and forth.
I picked up my STAY AWAKE pills last night. I have taken one this morn and I am letting it take affect. In a bit, I am planning on doing some laundry and working in the craftroom I wanted to work in yesterday.
Sunday my youngest grand turned 10!
What? How is it he is getting older and I am getting younger....
(can you see me rolling on the floor laughing with that statement, oops, if you saw that then you also so me having issues getting up off the floor)!!!
Age, not for sissy's.
The changes, that sneak up on you as you live life can hit you all of a sudden when you look in the mirror one day!
At 60, the wrinkles on my face are slight. I do have some lines under my eyes,
not deep though, I have laugh lines or crows feet, still not deep.
I have the lines on each side of my lips...still not deep.
(lines on the left cheek -your left is caused from my CPAP machine).
I think all my yrs of being heavy helped keep those lines down though. However I do have a deep downward line there on my chin.
And if you go back to the top pic you will see that I have deep
lines between the brows. Frown lines I think.
Its the other things I have noticed the most about getting older.
HAIRS....
They thin on the head, then thinned on my legs. but above the lip
and on the chin....
TERRIBLE.
I hate when I reach up and rub my chin and feel one of those wild, straight sticking out hairs!
PLUCK, I do a lot of PLUCKING on that chin.
Above the lip, I shave it.
Course your state of mind changes. Things you used to love like roller coaster rides all of a sudden you realize, NOPE, I am not getting on that!
In my case, I still love a good roller coaster ride. But I realized I have a fear of stepping on an escalators. Once upon a time I never thought about it, I would just jump right on it. Now I judge that fist step. I judge that step getting off also.
Patience changes....mine got better! Where the kids growing up used to rock my nerves now I let things go. I get onto Amber these days for being short tempered. It takes a lot for me to go off. I let a lot just roll right off my back. I can be so laid back, so calm....
~UNTIL~
I get behind the wheel of the car!!
You stupid drivers get out of my way!!!
HAHA
What about you?
Tell your age and tell me what you have noticed as you aged...

You would love it!
I'm 69 and I'm happy in my skin. I don't wear makeup anymore and having for years. I know you take care of your face as I do and that's about all we can do. Well not smoking and drinking helps too.
Hubby does the cooking and I do the clean up. Works for us. He loves to cook and me not so much.
Have a fabulous day. Scritches to the babes. ♥
