apple_pathwaysToday's post is brought to you by drunk!
Well, not exactly drunk, but certainly tipsy: which is surprising, since I've only had 2 (well, one and a half at this point) glasses of Tempranillo, and it usually takes a lot more than that to take me down. (I wasn't kidding when I said my favorite drink was red wine; YUM!)
First things first: I BE JAMMIN'! Behold! Raspberry and mixed berry jam:
Yesterday my mother and I went to pick apples and raspberries, and today I turned the raspberries into jam. I also bought strawberries and some frozen berries to make into mixed berry jam. Someday soon, the apples will be made into applesauce. (Although my mother has been stricken ill today, so it may have to be done without her help. Which reminds me...I should go check on her soon.)
I also finished the invitations for the wedding shower for my brother's fiance and got them in the mail today. Behold:
My mother addressed the envelopes, and when we were putting the invitations in them, I came across one addressed to a "Randi Soandso". I asked my mother who that was, and she confirmed that she's the girl I'm thinking of. She is the cousin of one of my brother's friends who he occasionally hangs out with when he's in town. She is also A GIRL MY BROTHER HAD SEX WITH several years ago before he met his future wife. Erin (my future sister-in-law) must have given the name to my mother so either A. she has no idea this girl and my brother did it or B. she's cool with it. Wonder which one it is? Hmm...
My mother asked me, "Why are you smiling?" after we talked about this girl. THANK GOD I was able to keep my mouth shut and didn't tell her! (I'm really bad at this; I always blab when I shouldn't out of a mistaken belief that people can handle the truth. As Jack Nicholson will confirm, THEY CAN'T!)
Also invited to the wedding (and the shower) is Dave (the cousin of this Randi) and his ex-wife Melissa. Melissa and Erin became friends when she and Dave were still married, and I guess are still friends now, which is why she's invited to the shower. I asked my mother if it was really wise to have both Melissa and Dave at the wedding, considering they fought like cats in a sack even when they were supposedly getting along, but my mom said that Todd and Erin were sure they could behave themselves.
I am not convinced. Stay tuned for drama!
I was going to resume the book meme, but this is enough drunken babbling for now.
Later, my loves! xx
