OCD

My name is Melanie & I have problems. I have a bit of OCD tendencies. It's a known fact in my family that my brother's & I tend to get a little obsessive over things. For me, I switch around A LOT! (If you read my blog then you know this already.) My brother's tend to focus on one thing for long periods of time. However, I like to tell myself I'm just being well-rounded. (Hey! Whatever justification works for my sanity right?!) This week - it's food preparedness. If you remember in a previous post I've recently done some canning. Well, peaches were on sale this week, so EmmaLee came over & we canned some peaches.

(Thanks for the pic Emm - I stole it from your blog since I was too dang lazy to take my own!)


I'm going to go get some more peaches & get some more done & even test out jam. That could be scary! We'll see.


Another problem I have is collecting "tools". I like to say I'm a scrapbooker - even though I haven't scrapbooked in who knows how long. Those that have seen my collection know I love to have all kinds of "tools". I have all kinds of cold laminators, a hot laminator, a handheld printer, etc. I also have a frame maker (that has come in handy), a steam canner, a vinly plotter .... you get the point. I just purchased a dehydrator to add to my list of stuff. We'll see how that goes. But, I'm excited to add to my food storage some things that we might actually eat. I mean who's really going to eat 50 lbs of wheat? You lie if you say you will!! So, if anyone wants to do some canning or anything - give me a call!


Just for kicks - since Christmas is around the corner (SCARY!!) - here's a list of some more tools on my list...
vacuum sealer & bags
compound miter saw
router
new computer
DVD converter program
