    Made me a bit mad----

    I hate that too. Does this give people the illusion that they are baking? That is one of the reasons I like to buy old cookbooks. Good luck on your search.

    Wannabefree...guess what I got in the mail today!?!?!?!?

    Hi! I'm new to this whole journal thing. Wanted to say hello. And, I am so very sorry to hear about your court situation. That must feel awful. I am a "peacekeeper" in my family and I have a need to be liked. So, a situation like that would be horrifying for me. Usually in situations like that...

I went over and I told him what a lovely horse it was. He said he was a new grandpa and he wanted to practice so he could make...

    on your to-do list

    I am a nerd. I usually make lists of my lists. :D I also have a daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal and twice a year cleaning lists. Plus various other lists that I am too embarrassed to mention.

    Homemakers- journal of wild domesticity-Demesne

    I have no idea how I got here. I just finished hand washing a load of cloth diapers for the first time. A few years ago it would have totally grossed me out. I would have felt like a servant or slave. Now, it feels like some weird badge of honor. Funny...I know. Leaning there over my bathtub...
