I'm thinking about blogging again... alrighty then.
I'm going to say lots and lots just because I want to.
It has been determined that any home of mine at any future time MUST include the Master on the main floor AS WELL AS one other bedroom. (for the nursery since I will most likely have more children against my better judgment) ( ;
There are lots of things I have determined to be blissful in a new home...
- very large and chunky stark white molding around ALL the doors, windows and floors.
- VERY big windows ALL over the place.
- not an 8' ceiling in sight
Other things that have been on my mind...
A netbook would be of the upmost fabulousness right now since my computer is at the furthest away point in the house than where I spend most of my time. I think that's why I have a blogging problem, email problem, and overall dissattached from the online world problem. I do not like this problem.
For those who may not know (maybe nobody cares) but we are currently living in a fabulous one room suite in my parents basement. I first thought this would be a 3-month tops fix but have since been on a Dave Ramsey kick and have determined that we may be here for an unidentified amount of time.
Favorite Dave Ramsey quote: "HOPE YOU LIKE THE CAR!!!" obviously you have to hear it in context to get it.
Back to subject: for the first 3 months all I did was look at homes, plan out homes, dream about homes, you get it. I have subsided my silliness and channeled my energy into more appropriate avenues such as budgeting, financial planning, Dave Ramsey obsessment. I have down to the penny exactly how much money we are going to have in approximately 35+ years. It's about 12 million. kidding. But there is a part of me that thinks that is possible.
Are you still reading? Seriously?
I have read 130 pages of America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book and have loved every second of it. I DEFINITLY should have gone to chef's school. Why did someone not tell me this when I was 18? WHy was it not in my Patriarchal Blessing? I AM A FOOD SNOB. ANd I love it. Sometimes it's all I have, it seems, when my children (3 under 5!) and life in general pushes me into a corner (imagine nose to corner) and I have no idea what to do with myself.... I read a cookbook. And dream about steaming a lobster one day.
Which reminds me... I made
Bahama Breeze's Lobster and Shrimp Pasta on New Years Eve. It was fabulous. Not TDF (dissapointing) but nevertheless... LOBSTER! It had SAFFRON in it. Oh ya, and Brandi.
Lobster Ravioli is probably my most absolute favorite dish.
I am IN LOVE with Dole's frozen sliced unsweetened strawberries. Defrost them in the microwave (accidently leave them in a little too long) and the subtle warmth makes them delectible. Ate them on a piece of wheat toast spread with crunchy PB this morning. Heavenly. An FBD meal (Flat Belly Diet). I'm all about it.
Pottery Barn magazines give me great joy.
Bowen and his CTR ring. I MUST blog about that later.
Must to bed now. I shall see you again, dear blog, in approximately 9 days as according to my current record.
Bryson and Bridger are 1 day apart.
The possibilities for a plain wooden box are ENDLESS!
SO FABULOUS! 
I like this picture. It's Gale, Katniss, and Peeta but Peeta defnitely needs a little more beef on those bones.
