Lest anyone should start to believe that this blog is solely dedicated to the wonders of Once-A-Month Cooking, I'd like to take a minute to respond to a comment and reiterate why I'm writing this blog. The comment:
"I'm a believer in REAL accomplishment...things that take time and effort and gives one some real satisfaction. As for cleaning and bills...pshh. What fulfillment does that provide?"
Accomplishments in life come in almost as many flavors as Jelly Bellies. I have a rather long list of things I want to do that could be considered "real" accomplishments (learning Italian, hiking the Appalachian Trail, writing a novel,) but the little things in life that pile up can get in the way of "real" accomplishments. For instance, I am going to be going back to school in April and will need my weeknights for homework. However, since I still have a house to run, things like freezer-stocking will help me to stay on top of both homework and housework.
That being said, I do find a certain fulfillment in having my house/home/life in order. When my house is spotless, the laundry is done, the bills are paid and there's a pan of chocolate chip cookies ready to come out of the oven the moment The Hubs comes home, I feel like the world is my kumquat. *Puffs out chest, puts fists on hips, stares stoically into the distance*
This blog is to help me (and anyone like me) experience that feeling more often.

Haha...my comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek
ReplyDeleteyeah...i've known you too long to suspect anything less. However, it did provide me with a way to explain my purpose a little bit better and answer any readers who may have been thinking the same thing. ;0)
