Whoa, its been a really long time....

since I've been here. I'm actually kind of suprised its still here and Blogger didn't delete me for lack of use.

I've been thinking about blogging a lot lately. Why? I'm not sure. But it's been on my mind. I have been doing less painting, less knitting. I think my creative side is sad and crying out for some attention. Maybe writing will curb that for a bit?

What is new in the last, oh, year? Hmmm. I have a child in Jr High, I have a child with a boyfriend (gasp!), I took a Disney trip with said child, I won a really cool exciting contest with a seriously awesome prize (free groceries for a year, ka-ching!) and signed up for a few more road races. Still working part time, still shuffling kids here and there in my minivan, still trying to "Master the Walk" with the crazy dog and really just looking like the insane woman in the neighborhood when we go on our jaunts. See, some things never change?

I watched "Julie and Julia" last week. I loved it! And it coincided with cleaning out a cabinet in my kitchen that had been long overdue to be cleaned out. Stacks and stacks, did I say stacks?, of old Bon Appetit magazines. Familiar with that one? It is a fabulous magazine that I got for many, many years. Wonderful recipes and pictures.I've saved almost all of them and when I cleaned them out of the cabinet and looked at the stack I thought, what do I do with these? I can't just get rid of them. It would take too long to go through and cull just things I think I might someday if I have the time make. Then I saw the movie. Then I had an idea.

No I'm not going to cook my way through Bon Appetit silly. But I do have an idea. More on that to come.  Maybe keeping this dusty blog will help keep me accountable as this is something I would like to do. Sometimes if you just tell one person, maybe even just write it out for yourself, it helps you follow through.
