My New Love...er, coffee pot

When DH heard that I had broken the coffee pot on Friday, he started quaking in his boots at the thought of me with no caffeine.  "Get thee to the coffee pot store!", he demanded.  And this is who came home with me.  We had such a lovely weekend together.  You may mistake that bright light for sunlight; it's understandable.  It's actually a heavenly light from the Goddess Caffeina, shining down from above.

This is me practicing my photoshop editing techniques.  And showing off the one pumpkin we have left from last fall's harvest, and my necklace I finished this weekend.  The pumpkin is still heavy for its size; that tells me it's still good.  I love pumpkin♥.  I wonder what he might become.  Soup?  Muffins? Or my all time favorite, pumpkin pie?  There's enough meat there for a couple choices.  I'm thinking peanut pumpkin soup for dinner is a good choice.  Yum!

So, back to that Swap Bot question from Friday.  There seems to be some consensus that I should trust my gut instinct.  I'm going to listen to you and to my gut and not do it. One thing that turns me off of the Swap Bot model is that there isn't really an opportunity for forming relationships with the entities you are swapping with.  Sure you get a name and address, but going beyond mailing your items isn't encouraged.  I want to know the people I'm swapping with.

I like A'isha's idea of organizing a swap through our blogs.  Is anybody else interested?  And if you don't have a blog, you can still play.  Let me know if this sounds fun.  We can see what everyone wants to do, and figure out together how to make it happen.  I'm more than willing to do any organizational stuff that needs to happen.  Ooo!  I just remembered!  I picked up Blogging for Bliss, and there is a section in there on organizing blog swaps.  I'll go read it and report back;)
