Easy Does It

Sundays!  Ahhhhh....

There are so many reasons to love them in the fall.

It's a gorgeous sunny day in Denver.  A tad unseasonably warm for October, but I am SO not complaining.  The weather would dictate that I be outside taking advantage, but I won't be.

I spent yesterday out running between soccer games, errands, and shopping.  We got an early start for S's game as she had to be there to warm-up at 7:30.  They lost miserably--one of the girls on her team got a yellow card for swearing at the ref....she's 9.  We made our WalMart run and S got some of the stuff for her Halloween, excuse me...Harvest Festival costume--she's going to be a fairy.  A and I ran over there again to look for his, but ended up at Spirit Halloween store to buy his Star Wars Clone guy costume...which I will be returning today because, even though he tried it on, he's decided the mask doesn't fit and he doesn't want it.  hmpf  I missed his game which they lost.  I saw Z's game which was won.  Z got hurt and sat most of the game.  I don't like going to his games because there are a group of parents that are extremely annoying.  They yell and coach from the sidelines....in Spanish mostly.  From what I hear English isn't a problem, but they stray into Spanish...when it's convenient.  The parents of another boy on our team got up and moved at half-time so it's not just me that they annoy.

M is off running errands today.  He's making his Costco run and has a couple of used trucks to look at.  His new used truck was totalled as a result of the accident.  The used car market is really tight right now--thank you Obama and the Cash for Clunkers program--and he's having trouble finding anything in his price range.  He still hasn't gotten the accident report which has to be purchased from Denver County since it wasn't provided at the time of the accident.  Everything has gone through our insurance for now, including M's doctor visit and the rental car.  Based upon the rate, he has about three weeks of rental car so he needs to find something soon.  He ends up getting short with me if I ask any questions so I've not been bringing up the subject much.

I'm at home watching football, doing chores, and sewing.  I don't need to finish the quilt I started last week.  I could have, but when I found out the girl's grandma is a quilter I decided not to finish the quilt for her.  I don't want it to become another UFO so I continue to work on it a little at a time.  It's actually turning out better than I thought it was going to.  I was beginning to not like my fabric and color choices.  I'm using the picture only of a pattern and don't have the benefit of the instructions and I've modified the measurements of the quilt.  I don't have enough some of the fabrics either so I'll be fudging that, too.  I can't quilt without adding excitement to the whole process?!

I've got chicken breasts in the crock pot.  I'll be using the meat to make chicken enchiladas.  I've been hinting outright begging M to get me some Hatch chilis, but he hasn't so I'll be using canned green chilis.  Seems to me since he's the one who requested I make enchiladas that the least he could do is get me the chilis.  I put cream of chicken soup and sour cream on my Costco list.  I'm nothing if not crafty!
