I didn't fall off the face of the Earth...

Hello everyone- It's me...do you remember?? I know it has been for-EH-ver, as you know I'm full of excuses, but life just got in the way. But I promise I'll do better. Making these yummy, chewy chocolate chip cookies this afternoon and beef stroganoff for dinner- the hub's great grandmother's recipe (it's delicious)..more on those later.

So about that life business- the good news, I'm now working day shift. It is crazy, but now I get to sleep which is a big plus. I like sleep. I'm in school, taking 11 hours this semester, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it seems like a lot. But the light at the end of the tunnel is ever so slowly getting bigger.

About that tunnel...the plan is still to get my master's in nursing. Where is still up in the air. But...I'm in the process of applying = applications, essays, letters of rec, etc. (more work!!!!) I'm excited about the possibilities though, and much more interested in doing what I want to do as a nurse.

Ok now I'll quit complaining. We are settling in to our new rental house and we love having the space. The pooches love it too, especially laying in the sunshine on the deck.

So, in short, my favorite time of the year is coming quickly, fall, which leads to winter and CHRISTMAS!! I know it's September, but I LOVE Christmas! Just thought you should know.

Alright, off the computer and in to the kitchen I go..promise I'll check in again soon- with yummy recipes to share!
