oops, i turned 27!
sorry i have not written in a long time, livejournal. since we last talked, a hurricane hit my state (and ruined amy and jeff's house) and i turned 27 (yesterday-ish).
i am exhausted most of the time. i am hoping really hard that this has nothing to do with turning 27. i am pretty sure that it has mostly to do with work being badbadbad, a mild but lingering sinus infection and lots of doing productive-type things (that are necessary) and not doing as many lazy things as i would like. it might also have to do with a boy (who makes me happy) that is with me a lot. i bet in the next couple weeks or so that things will take an upturn, they usually do. people can't stay in the trenches all of the time.
this has not much to do with anything, but i have this one little book that meagan and i put together a long time ago when we were in college. one of her design courses had just taught her how to bind books, so we had this idea to make a book with pages made from all of the multi-colored flyers posted all around campus. we spent a day gathering turquoise, yellow, hot pink, beige, green, red pages from bulletin boards, the ground (if they were in good condition) and the hands of well-meaning west mallers. it took a while for me to actually write in my book because i wanted it to be super-special. so i titled the book "things i made myself!" and i'm slowly filling it with carefully (for the most part) hand-written recipes that have made it into my repertoire. if i have made something at least 3 times and consistently loved it, it goes in there. anyway, the long and short of this whole story is that yesterday, as i wrote in 2 more recipes, i noticed that i have THREE chocolate chip cookie recipes in there! pumpkin chocolate chip, banana chocolate chip and brown sugar chocolate chip. i didn't realize i was such a huge fan! i guess there is something about chocolate chip cookies that makes me feel good about giving them to people.
anyway, this is as profound as i get right now, i'm afraid. i'm lame and tired, and frankly, a little out of practice!
