valancystirlingSomething about this time of year makes me want to bake, and generally that means totally from scratch.

euhrasie's pumpkin spice muffin recipe is first on my list. I bought three little pie pumpkins today and we just finished scraping the guts out and separating the seeds to toast later. Four halves are baking now. I figure, you can never have too much cooked pumpkin in the fridge, just waiting for those spur of the moment fall baking urges.
The other day we were at Target, and we picked up a 2 liter bottle of diet Coke. Jake had his hands full already, so I carried it. I started thinking about it in terms of its weight, and then asked Jake (who knows everything) how much two liters of liquid weighs, and if it weighs as much as the baby supposedly already does. We decided that with everything that's sloshing around in there, I'm basically carrying around a couple gallons worth of weight every single day. No WONDER everything is a gigantic effort these days. Weird to think.
One week from this morning, my midwife will be making a house call. So I have until then to have this place picked up and presentable. I got a ton of work done on the closets this weekend, but there's now a huge load of stuff to go to Salvation Army at some point. It's going to have to be soon because we're going to trip over it and break our necks if it stays here much longer.
My mom just got home today after being gone for nearly a week, only to find that her apartment had been broken into and ransacked. We suspect it was this guy who's been staying with my sister and her husband (in their STUDIO APARTMENT???). My mom has lots of reasons to think it was him, and to top it all off, the window was clearly broken from the INSIDE. He had my sister's key. When I last talked to her, they were waiting for the police to show up, so they hadn't really gone through it yet to see what was missing. My mom said her jewelry box had been raided, but strangely enough, only the fake stuff was taken, and everything else that was actually worth something was left behind. Very curious. She says the place looks like they were looking for something specific. I can't begin to think what.
