....back!?

So about the past 7 months (and yes, I did, despite knowing better from my 2nd grade reprimands, count those months on my fingers)... yeah. About them. As Houston would say, "Ummmm..." It's a bad habit that I've passed on to my newly-verbal little man. I have no explanation, except to say, "life." And we'll leave it at that. Kay? Kay.

So I've been stressing out because November has been approaching and last year I participated in my first ever Nanowrimo (national novel writing month). It was great to get back into writing but also kind of a huge time commitment. At that time, Houston was just a little nugget I could stick in the corner somewhere and he's bat around at mobiles and springy toys precariously suctioned to a nearby wall. Now, he's older. And way more fun. And way more work. And not to mention, Justin's working way more hours. So like I said, I've been stressing. The thing is, I WANT to continue writing, but the problem is at this point in my life, I just don't have time. Hence, here I am! :) I'm back and ready to continue sharing my adventures in cooking, organizing, creating, and well... life.

Don't worry. I'm still a dunce. There will be lots to read about my cooking adventures. But a lot of things have changed in my life forcing me to make some pretty drastic alterations to my lifestyle. Please join me, again, my loyal friends, as I share some of these new and exciting elements of my life with YOU... dunce to dunce. No offense.
