SATURDAY...SATURDAY (RECIPE ADDED BELOW )

Well here we are...Saturday once again.  It's very drizzly here in Hoosierville, so I have the crackpot spinster fireplace going, the Christmas lights blazing, and potato soup bubbling away for later:

(I may or may not have been a little heavy handed with the parsley...oh well.)

After I get a few minor chores completed and a hot and scrubby, I'm going to get into the Happy Chair and stitch, so help me stitchy gods. I have not done so in forever, and my nerves and brain are all twitchy and out if sorts because of it.

(I know that inducates addiction, but as long as it is to something good for me...I'm OK with that.)

(Now if only I could get the same way about healthy eating and exercise!)

December is upon us, Dearies. Can you believe another year of shenanagins has almost passed? This acceleration of time phenomenon is definitely for the darn birds! I am determined to enjoy every single second of what's left and not rush the New Year.

How about you?
