Not Me Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.



Its Monday again. Another week to work! Woo! But also another week to express what I would never, ever in a million years do.

Today I didn't spend $55 on hair products in hopes of turning my dull wavy hair into a beautiful mass of curls.

And after trying the $55 of product, I wasn't secretly excited they didn't work so I could return them.

Today I didn't skip my morning exercise and promise myself I will do it after lunch.

I am not thinking of eating a BLT and Dr Pepper for breakfast.

And I do not have piles of laundry upstairs that need to be folded and washed!

Ok its your turn!

First Quilt

A few friends of mine are posting their very first quilt. So I thought I would show you mine.

I made it about 7 years ago. The fabric isn't the best, but it was for my first daughter and I really wanted to make her something.

So here it is!

Apricot Jam

I am blessed to have in-laws that have apricot and pomegranet trees.

So during the summer time I get to make jam. Here is the first batch.

I won't go into great detail but you start first with the apricots


Then you chop them up, removing the pits and let them sit in a mixture of sugar and lemon juice. After you let them come to a boil and the foam starts.



After the foam starts you need to stir stir stir!




And then you transfer to jars and you have your jam!

Not me!!

Today is not me Monday. So.....


Today I did not text my husband how much I hate summer.

I also haven't had to put my 5 year old in time out 3 times in the past 20 minutes for talking back.

I didn't print out 30 plus pages....of the wrong forms that I need to apply for.

I am not procrastinating cleaning my house. Moving the daycare toys, folding laundry, making my bed......

And I will not enjoy going to work tonight just to get a little me time.

Finished

I think the mommy liked it!

Busy Busy

I know I have been missing but I have a good reason! I have been trying to finish a quilt for a girlfriends baby shower this Saturday. It is very adorable if I do say so!!

~So far today I did not eat toast and soda for breakfast.

~I did not search in vain for some kind of chocolate only to settle for a spoonful of frosting.

~I did not want to yell at a child who was being mean to my child.

~I did not put off creating the final budget of the year while surfing the web.

~I did not secretly wish for my daughter to lose her softball game. But only because if she won I wouldn't be able to make the game. If she lost I would be able to make the championship.

So what about you? What did you NOT do today?
