I realized that it has been over a month since the last time I posted, and since I am somewhat lacking in really thoughtful interesting things to say - I thought I could just do a quick update post on well - my life. Between my two jobs I have been working close to 50 hours a week. It's not so bad, and it seems like I get ample time to enjoy life as well, but certain things do slip through the cracks. Namely, this blog. Partially this is because I am tad perfectionistic about what I post, but also "lazy butt-ness" factors in. Also - a rant - I have been having issues with my computer which directly affect how easy it is for me to get pictures up on here. I don't like to do "wall o text" blogs, so I also choose to blame: computer issues for the time being. Anyway, I haven't forgotten about my little ol' blog and I hope to come back (with vengeance) to this part of my life when my life slows down a titch.
So - some updates.
10 Dollar Day
Yes, I am still doing this. Yes, it does involve way more fast food than I would "prefer", but umm... I really don't mind. You can stalk my spending here. One thing I will say is that I may need to lower this daily allowance in the not so distant future. Not sure what to exactly. Not sure I will be able to make it equally as catchy... but I am sure if you've read this blog for long you know I enjoy a good challenge. Especially in the food spending department.
Cooking
Actually, I have been cooking quite frequently (just not blogging about it). Some interesting stuff too. There was a Asian-esque goulash that failed to marvel, but also a stew that turned out quite nicely. Additionally, an apple cabbage salad that probably deserves it's own post. I also attempted to make bread in a bread machine (borrowed), which was a flop - but I am still blaming the bread machine. After all, I can make bread without one.
Running
I am currently "training" for a 10K called the Drumstick Dash. Finding time to run though has been uber challenging. I get out at least once a week, but need to be going about 3 times. Hopefully, I can pick up the pace in time, or at least not finish last.
Personal Life
Umm... yeah. Ok - so this deserves it's own post as well, and maybe one day I'll get there. At this point though I will say that I am moving in a good direction, but the road is a little long and rocky.
bravo on the updates! I too have been MIA for about 2 months... but once you get the ball rolling, blogging always seems to take on a life of its own.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine! indeed, I hope to see that "ball roll" so to speak.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking good thoughts for you (and watching your $10 a day spreadsheet).
ReplyDeleteGet back to us when you can, we will love to hear from you.
Can't wait to hear about the apple cabbage salad. YUM!
