Just kidding, I know what month it is, and I know that I will be 40 three months from yesterday.  And there are a lot of things that need to be crossed off my list before then.  And since I can’t really blog anymore until I pick my comment contest winner from July… the winner is (dun dun dun….) BETH!  Crazy, because she had about 1 comment, and I thought for sure it would be either Jack or Laura, who both had many, many comments.  But as you can see above, I put all the comments in a hat and Luke picked one out, while Jack yelled at him.  The prize is a chocolate bar from Cured, which I purchased in July before the comment contest was over, and have managed not to eat for over 2 months.  (Maybe I don’t still have a list of things I need to accomplish before my big birthday.  Maybe I am in, in fact, already perfect.)  It is especially amazing that I never ate the candy bar, because I am at Cured every Wednesday, picking up my awesome vegetables from my amazing CSA with Isabelle Farm.

The July comment contest winner of last year received her prize (a necklace from the Crazy Horse Memorial gift shop) in her Christmas stocking, so Beth should not be waiting anxiously for her prize.  But I will say that it is in an envelope, and the envelope is addressed, and I did go to the mailing store, in the rain, but the store wasn’t open yet, and that is about as far as I have gotten with this project.

Phew, now that this post is out of the way, I can blog freely and with abandon about the many, many exciting things that go on in my life.  Things such as canning! cooking breakfast! reading! watching soccer! watching cyclocross! procrastinating! crafts! and much more.  Stay tuned.
