I'm turning into my mother....which is not a bad thing!!

Many people know that I am a night owl...a couple of weekends ago I was picking up around the house (shocking, I know). It was about 11:00 pm and I was working on the kitchen. I have wanted a new dining table and chairs since we moved in, but those items are very low on the priority list. The chairs were green to match our old house. Notice I said "were"... I decided right then and there to re-cover my chairs with the leftover fabric from pillows I made. About 30 minutes into this project I thought, "Oh my goodness! I am turning into my mother!!!" I've been musing to myself lately about how I really, really am turning into my mom.

Top 10 signs that I am turning into my mother:

(my siblings will especially appreciate this)

1. I feel compelled to make chocolate chip cookies every Sunday (I never do, but dream about it)

2. I am unable to talk without the use of my hands

3. I've started drinking Diet Coke with a little bit of Dr. Pepper on the top

4. I find it necessary to talk on my cell phone when I am driving alone

5. I am starting to get quite the "Shade" collection (mom has one in every color)

6. I have a recent obsession with aprons and sewing them

7. Seriously! I mean, "seriously."

8. I get my "second wind" at 11:30 pm

9. I have like 7 unfinished projects sitting in my house

10. ...AND YES, I do have an open bag of chocolate chips in my freezer to snack on!

I am sure there are more "querks" we both do, I just can't think of them right now. I love you Mom!

PS - The apron on the previous post was a fundraiser for the youth in our ward and it went for $45!! Whoa! It was kinda funny that it went that high, and the lawyer's will/trust package went for $50.

Priorities people!
