recipe book
i am such a downer right now.
anyway, this is my first holiday season without mom. it sucks. i am trying really hard to enjoy it because it is ava's first, but mostly i just want it to be over. my mad-baking self hasn't even looked at holiday baking ideas. is it ok for christmas to be just another day of the month this year? we'll be alone since family came for thanksgiving...except not dad since he is also depressed and didn't want to deal with my inlaws. so it was all his family and none of my own.
we do have a tree, and we will get something for the bebe. and put her in one of those corny my first christmas outfits since people keep giving them to us.
i am in the process of making my own cookbook. sorting through mom's recipe books/boxes is quite daunting. and a mess. and mostly illegible. so, to preserve what recipes of hers i can read and also my own, i am planning to get them in a central location. however, being not even the slightest bit crafty or scrapbookey, i haven't a clue what to do. i mean, i want it to look cute and special, but also be sturdy and able to be added to. any ideas would be much appreciated. or even if someone could tell me where to go to get supplies/ideas.
i am not much for new year's resolutions. i rarely make them. however, i am making some plans for the new year to try my very hardest to make it much better than this one. i shall post my list here...if i ever get around to writing it down.
