Ok, I think it goes without saying that I am a bad blogger. I blog for a few weeks or a month then take a few weeks or a month off. Whenever I get pressed for time its the first thing to go. I have fairly decent schedule for myself but again, if something is running over, its the first thing I can justify not doing. I thought about posting a few times in the last couple weeks when something hysterical would happen, but then I'd stop because I couldn't tell whatever story that was because I hadn't blogged about whatever preceded it and without context, well most things just aren't that funny. Anyway, for now, here I am.
My holidays were wonderful but I am certainly glad they only come once a year. I got two things to which I am a virgin. A food processor and sewing machine. The food processor I just never thought I needed. My knife skills are decent so food prep usually doesn't take me that long and whenever I needed to make pastes or pesto I would just use a motar and pestle. Those days are over my friends! Holy shit, why didn't someone convince me I needed one of these sooner? I am in love. And, do you know what love smells like? Fresh pesto.
The sewing maching is a bit of a different story. I did want one as I have a few projects envisioned but I had no idea how complicated they could be. It was from my mil and as she was telling me all the apparently wonderful things it did I had to stop her to say "I'm sorry I don't think I speak that language" As far as I knew, basting was what you did to a turkey. I am looking around for somewhere that has a beginner course in sewing, one that hopefully starts with how to thread the damn thing.
We stayed home on New Year's eve. Some friends and family came over and Rock Band and hilarity ensued. My cat, Little Miss, was laying on the belly of our 7 month pregnant cousin and the baby kept kicking her. Every time it did she growled and hissed at the belly. I know I am not doing it justice in the telling, but believe me, it was hilarious.
Now I must be off to read all of you. While I was away, I am very sad to admit that I didn't even stop in to read you guys. i may have taken bloggy breaks before, i never took reading breaks. I hope I find all of you well!
