* Morning walk: 45 minutes / 310 calories - listened to Diane Rehm Podcast of an update on the financial crisis. 

* I'm back to a house full of food, so I'm going to make October a modified No New Food month.  I'll just be buying fruit, fresh vegetables, yogurt, and cheese (in moderation).  I don't know what it is - I just can't stop filling my fridge and cupboards.  I should have had a big family.

* Sierra comes home November 5th.  I'm excited to have the kiddo back, but I admit I'm a little aprehensive considering what's going on financially in the world.  Hopefully I will be able to arrange for her to have her own transportation, and she will be able to get a job and tend to her individual monetary needs.  There just isn't the disposible income on my end - I wish there was.  I'm going to try and think positive though!

Is your daughter moving back from Hawaii to live with you? That's big... exciting I'm sure but I can understand your apprehension. I'm sure she'll want to be as self-sufficient as possible and have a job lined up pretty quickly. She's 18?

I feel secure & LOVE having the pantry and freezer full of food! This is that time of year it seems the hibernation, prepare for winter instinct starts doing that....

She's going to be 21 in February.

Tim just restocked his whole store this last week!

Maybe I can talk you into going to lunch at Peng's with me next month.

wow... My daughter will be 23 in March... isn't it uncanny to have these grown up kids?

The last time you did the no new food thing - you made me super conscious of what I had hidden away.

Sierra will be with you now in no time. Will she help you with the chickens and the garden? Another set of hands would be very helpful.

*hugs* and positive energy

I thought I'd feel old, but I don't. Maybe if I become a grandmother I might - but I think I'll dig it :-)

Yes, definitely.

I'm the same way with a full fridge. Don't know what it is but I get panicky when it gets less than half full. I'm sure there's something to be said about that but oh well.

I hope things go well with your daughter at home. This is a hard time to be looking for work but hopefully she'll find something and be able to help out.

hahaha I admit, there are some days I feel kind of old...

Friends I know who are grandmas LOVE it so much and I'm sure I will, too, when the time comes... I just hope whichever of my kids has a baby is 1)ready 2)wanting to have the child & 3)living close to me.

I could wait for a while....

I recently experienced a time when you go to the store to get a can of tomatoes or fresh fruit or any diary. You couldn't find gasoline. Restaurants weren't open. You couldn't stick anything in the fridge or oven. If you had three-days-worth of "non-perishable" food and water... it wasn't enough.

Some people here still don't have electricity.

I'm absolutely fine with having a full pantry! :)

Keep that food comin' in! You never know what's down the track.

I hope your daughter can get a job etc. Think positive - it will all work out!

And enjoy having her there :)
