Oh, Hi!

I'm really kind of over other social media sites right now. Except Pinterest. I love Pinterest. I have somewhat of an unhealthy love for Pinterest. In fact, I think it will be responsible for a whole new generation of hoarders. Seriously. I went to the flea market on Saturday and I there was something at every booth that I could have made something out of. Too bad I have just a small one bedroom apartment. Not too much room to store all my re-purposing goodies.

I really could go on and on about Pinterest, and I doubt this is the last you'll hear about it from me. But that's not what this is about. Well, not really.

I work from home. I attend class online. In my living room. I barely leave this place on weekdays except to go for a walk or to the gym. [Uh, who am I kidding....I went to the gym yesterday for the first time in forever, and now I'm gonna try to act like it's a common get-away weekday destination? I'm setting goals here, people. Work with me.] So yeah, I barely leave this place. I've become somewhat of a recluse between the circumstances of my job and my own doing. But I really do like people. I miss people, and since I use the computer to do most of life, why not add blogging and try to connect with people again? Good plan, right??

Well, truth is, I've been wanting to do this for awhile. I get so inspired looking, reading, and browsing other people's blogs. I think to myself, "I can do that." I think that all the time, though. I need to actually do that which I claim I can. So here I am.

I'm currently caught up in this world between discovering a passion for baking and cooking and needing desperately to shed some pounds. I know I'm not alone here. But I really like baking. I don't have much a sweet tooth [salt? yes.], but lucky for me, my husband has about 32 of them. [How many teeth do adults have again?] So I bake. And he eats. And he doesn't gain a pound. And inevitably I end up at least trying what I've baked and I make up for the both of us on the scale. Lovely.

I have a point. And it's this. I am going to try to use this new outlet to share my passions, update my life [wow. get excited.], and post some pics. I'll probably be on other sites less and less [except Pinterest.], so if you're wondering where to find me, you just did. Congrats.

Now I have reading to do. But I also have a can of pumpkin in my cupboard...
