I cannot tell you how long it has been since I have EATEN! Not just bites here and there, but an actual entree or meal. If I think about food too intensely, that will even make me sick. Ick. Lemon tea is always by my side.
But how funny that cookbook reading and food tv watching has become my new obsessions. You all are very well aware that I am not a foodie in the eating sense, but as far as an interest is concerned, you can't find a subject more interesting or passionate than food prep. I'm enthralled. Even the cooks that I had no desire to watch before are on my food watching schedule.
Nigella has always been my fave though. I just finished her Nigella Express book and I give it 5 stars. It took me a week but I read it cover to cover. If you get lost in cookbooks, this one will be a winner for you.

Options
There may be a house coming up for sale in our neighborhood. Not due to the person needing foreclosure help, but the owner may be moving. I heard about this possibility from friends of mine who are friends of the daughter of the seller. Did you get that? :)
Chris and I drove by this past week and it will definitely be an option for consideration if they decide to sell. It is only a block or so away and off of our super busy street. Even if it doesn't happen, it is nice to know that there can always be options cropping up when you don't expect them.

Waiting for Thursday
Earlier this year we had M*rry Maids come out and give us a bid on a weekly cleaning for our house. Well, although they were organized and thorough, the price made me choke.
Last week, I had had it! The house was driving me crazy and with all of the morning sickness I can barely even take care of myself, let alone the rest of the family. Normally my bedroom is my haven, but it is such a pit that I had been avoiding the whole house since there wasn't any clean place to relax.
I was speaking to a friend about M*rry Maids and she then told me that her beloved housekeeper was taking on new clients. No way! I called her and set up an interview on Thursday. And her price? I will get more than 4 times the visits with her than I would with the national company. I'm going to ask her if she wants to come more often than once a week until she gets the whole place whipped into shape.
I'll let you know how it goes. And, do you need a link for floor mops? I don't anymore! HA!

A day off
After another therapy session yesterday which dealt with self-care, I took the afternoon off. I didn't head home for a much needed nap. Instead I drove to a little town about an hour away and took myself to lunch and did a bit of shopping. It was heaven. I hadn't picked up a graduation gift for my cousin yet and I found the most perfect little hand carved box that so reminds me of him. He has a large tattoo of a smiling sun on his back and the box looks kind of like the same design. He is going to adore it! Of course, he would love a gift of used Harleys as well, but he will have to wait until I win the lottery. I'm so proud of him. Yesterday was meant to be and I feel much better today.
So Sorry!
I was messing with my old blog, and I accidentally changed the design our happiness blog!
Ooops!
Karianne, I know this is a first, but I need YOUR help with a computer thing!!!! ;)

Happiness is a good support system.
I'm typing this from Angela's iPhone in the St. Joe's ER, where I am having the lithium levels checked. I have had a very difficult time lately, culminating in some bad news (potentially), which resulted in a breakdown. I hurt. But Angela is here, and support is good.

Happiness is Wicked
For about a year now, my sister and I have wanted to go see the play, Wicked. Last night, we finally did it. Since our birthday's are coming up next month, we decided to treat ourselves to an early birthday present, and see the play. Wicked is currently playing at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago. The play, based on Gregory Maguire's novel, spins a beautifully crafted story of both the good witch, Galinda, and the 'bad' witch, Elphaba's life and legacy. If you haven't seen Wicked yet, I highly recommend it. It was simply amazing!
