I’ve been really anxious/worried lately.  I totally get that worrying is an empty action that does nothing to actually solve any problems.  I guess I just suck at the “mind over matter” stuff.  I’ve been trying to do better in this area with a combination of prayer, moment-by-moment living, the “6 month rule”, and hot tea.  It’s still tough for me.

We got some good confirmation last night about a decision we were trying to make so hopefully, from here on out, things will be a little easier for us and a couple of the things I was stressed about won’t be an issue.

I’m glad Fall is almost here ((and you would think it was by the way it feels outside when I leave for work in the morning)).  I’m excited for my hoodies and sweaters, our wedding anniversary, OSU football, Sunday night bible study starting up again, and crockpot cooking ((I know I can use my crockpot year round, but it feels so much more appropriate when it’s chilly out)). 

Things to do:
- Dry-clean my coats.
- Buy some new courderoy pants ((my favorite pair is a disaster)).  Does anyone know where I can find some cute, inexpensive ones?

Last December at a craft show, I bought a French cookbook that was created by a very sweet woman who was trying to raise money for her teenage daughter to go to France on a school trip.   I am really excited because tonight I am doing three of the recipes – “Amazing Parisian Bread”, French Onion Soup and Creme Brulee.  I actually started the Creme Brulee last night, but tonight I am going to try to make the top crispy without one of those torches— I read online that putting it in the oven on broil for 30 seconds has the same affect.  The funny thing is that I don’t think I’ve ever actually had Creme Brulee so if it turns out to be a complete disaster, I’m not sure if I will know the difference.
