but I can't remember. I was talking to Jeff over a wonderful dinner. Maybe that was it- I took all the overripe stuff that was going bad in the garden, chopped it up and put it over some tortilla chips, leftover rice, a bit of leftover lentils and quinoa, and then poured a New Mexican style chile sauce over it and sprinkled well with Monterrey Jack cheese. It was so absolutely delicious that I ate 3 servings. And I was drinking this new thing I found at Costco, Frisk Prickly Reisling. GET IT. OMG Get It.
So we were talking over this wonderful wine and dinner- maybe it was the fact that I had 11 kids all weekend all by myself? But I was a happy mama. And we were talking, and suddenly I said, "I should blog that!"
So I came to the kitchen, and before I could get to the computer, I saw the Compassion Children's folders had come in the mail and had to read that to the kids... and then gave everyone a job to do- you take care of extraneous dishes, you put away food, you wash the pots, and you feed the cats and wash their water dish....
Then I finally got the mail off my laptop and sat down, and Facebook was open, so I commented on a couple things...
And DH said, "Did you get your blog post written?"
And I realized, I have no idea what I thought would make such a good blog post.
So there you have it. 41 and perimenopause. Or just 11 kids and Frisk Prickly Reisling?
I am reading two books right now-- Pride and Predjudice and Havah (speculative fiction about Eve) plus a bunch of nonfiction, so I'm going to go read and relax now that I do not have 11 children in my house- just 6.
My oldest will be home in a week. I miss him.

Glad you survived the madness! And I'll have to look out for that wine. Let me know your thoughts on Havah... I'm interested in reading it.
Evernote and a hand held device to access it.... saves my brain from holding onto such things.
Glad you were a happy mama with your man, good food and good wine. :)
lol, this has happened to me more times than I can count, Amy. I could be a famous writer off of all the great topics I've forgotten to write. Well, at least that's what I tell myself.
Hope you remember it soon.
The first part of this post is the story of my life.
I am still kicking myself over the GREAT idea that I had in church 2 weeks ago that I didn't write down.
ARGH!!!!!
Gone With The Wind.
And it wasn't an idea for a great Civil War novel, either.
