Dry Hands

Written: November 5, 2009 By: Lindsay In: Clothes & Shopping, Lindsay's Life

Maybe the change in weather is making my skin feel dry. Or maybe I have been cleaning the house so much that the chemicals and soap are drying out my skin. Either way, I need hand lotion. Lots of it. I couldn’t find a single bottle of it in the house. So I used vaseline this morning and tomorrow I will head to the drug store to buy some lotion.

Pumpkin Painting

Not really sure when painting pumpkins became an activity for children as opposed to carving pumpkins. I never even heard of painting pumpkins until a couple of years ago I noticed a bunch of painted pumpkins at the grocery store that they used as props in displays of fruits and vegetables.

Today we had a party for a group of children living with disabilities and we thought it would be fun to let each child work on a pumpkin. Of course, carving them would have been too time consuming for the adults and too dangerous for the small children, so we bought a about 60 small pumpkins, a bunch of water soluble paints and cheap paint brushes and let the kids paint their pumpkins.

It was great fun for all and although the finished results were no where near as professional as the ones I remember seeing in the grocery store, some of them were well designed and at the very least were very colorful!

What Am I Forgetting?

The date of October 20 is supposed to be something significant to someone in my circle of family and friends. But I just cannot remember what it is! My Facebook calendar does not say anything about a birthday and I don’t pay much attention to anniversaries any more. After all, anniversaries are so temporary – half of those marriages or more won’t be around after a few years anyway. The only anniversary I care about is the very very few couples who have made it to 50 years or more.

Anyways, enough of my cynical ranting. If today is your special day for some reason – please job my memory so I can help you celebrate!

Paula Still Rocking

Tonight there was a short appearance on the Craig Ferguson Show by Paula Poundstone. Everything she said seemed to be improvized on the spot. They just bantered back and forth for a couple of minutes. I think she is really funny and I would love to see her do a show at a comedy club again. I saw her her on my first trip to San Francisco and my cheeks hurt from laughing so much after the show.

Leaves Starting to Turn Color

This year I might search for the perfect leaves and press them. I would love to make a collage later with some beautiful dried leaves of red, orange and yellow.
