Desire to Bake

I have an overwhelming desire to bake something. I have no idea why I have this desire. Possibly because it seems like the more I try to get back on track with my diet, the more I crave food. I mean any food! I have asked Richard to make guacamole like thee times a week since school started. What is the deal? Am I on a mission to sabotage myself? Is it the stress of school starting? Whatever it is, I will tackle it next week! Today...I'm making brownies!

8:00 pm Update: Make that four times this week for guacamole the brownies are yummy, yummy, yummy!!!

A Place Just for Me

For the longest time, whenever I have needed a moment to myself, I have gone into the bathroom, ran a deep, hot bath, and read a book until the water was cold. Now that I have three kids who all know how to walk into the bathroom whenever they want, that's not working so well. So this is a place just for me. Somewhere I can remember I am an intelligent woman who loves life and has thoughts that don't revolve around soccer practice, homework, or breaking up fights. If you want to read about those thoughts, check out my other blog - this one is just for me. And I plan to keep it that way by never sharing my password!
