    So you aren't in this/that boat alone ! It amuses me that you used a very southern term....you "fixed" dinner which is exactly what we do here in the south ! Some of you folks might say you made dinner.....my MIL would have said that she toted in the groceries and then fixed supper ! How awesome.

    I cut out a autumn scrappie lap quilt this morning, DNP. Now, I have yet to finish my pinwheel lapquilt that is on my design wall that a started 2 months ago. My King size broken dishes quilt that is started months before that. Instead I spend my time here, at least for a little while.It is something I can do while watching tv with my dh, at some point I will break away from here and get back to my lapquilt....that's my plan... :)

    My mother used to "fix dinner". And she was born/raised/lived and died in PA. I seem to recall my hubby's grandmother saying it too. She was PA Dutch from Lancaster County in PA.

    Guess I haven't been a total mush mess this afternoon, did manage to get 2 loads of laundry done, sheets changed on the bed and dinner fixed.....but then where am I??? Right back here.....step away from the keyboard!!
    There's a lot of great stuff on the internet, but too often this "virtual world" keeps us from doing anything in the real world. Some days I just have to stay away from the computer.
