Cupboard full of potential ingredients...

Dates. They are slowly dying. Need to eat them.

Oooh! what could we make with dates!? Surely there is something Bakeable. Wait. Oven here sucks. can't cook much more then biscuits successfully.

So.

Hmm. Crescents in fridge. I wonder... if I was to chop dates... and apples... brown sugar, cinnamon, etc... cook it down a bit... roll up the sweet stuffing into the crescents and bake?

That would nice yes?

OMFGWTFBBQ? We ate the last of the apples.

>.<

I'm thinking I could do it with dates and sugard pecans alone... but... *sigh*

I got all excited about the idea of the apples.

Ahhhh... ffffffff.....

I will bake those crescents with something sweet wrapped in them. Regardless of what I may have or not. *stamps foot*

I'll even come back and make a new post with picture even!?! That would be a serious blogging accomplishment. Post before AND after! Start something finish it, AND TALK ABOUT IT TOO!

Whoo Hoo! What a rush!

Realizations...

this... might... be... the... slowest... start...

lol, to blogging daily... EVER. I opened this blog up when I was still a live in nanny for a set of twins in old metairie.

Since then I've moved to MN for the winter, moved back in time for Jazz Fest. Moved into the guest room of A/L's and promptly out... stayed briefly in a house sans electricity, reconnected with past coworker and moved in to E&J's... shifted from there into apartment with O. and from there into house with OJ.

Point of interest... A/L and E&J are now married couples. Hmmmmm...

Anywho. Here it is, October 2014. Have a Halloween costume planned... doing wings, shocker right? but i'll be wearing a floofy skirt adn corset... so that's new...

My life is oddly odd for me right now... there are so many stable elements that are, for me, still so charged with chaos...

I deal well with change. flourish in it even. I adapt... but I wilt underneath uncertainty. I grow anxious with not knowing what comes next...  I'm not sure what the next step is... or when the other shoe will drop...

There are too many elements of my life that are not in my control... living situation, job/work... I'm wondering how it is, in this day of the modern woman crafting her way through her day, blogging it all on the vast web... the pinterest boards, the youtube videos...

How is it that I am not part of that movement?

I've created a few logo's... worked on marketing packages...  have infinite ideas in how to make money for everyone else...

I've managed to spend entirely too much time in craft stores this last week... and its odd to me that I'm not just making jewelry or something of the sort...

But on the flip side... I also love the office work that I do...

Really I've just hit a stage in my life where the endless parade of great ideas... the shining images in my head of what could be... have ceased to be enough. I need to make some of those ideas reality...

there is just such a plethora of things... embroidery, scrapbooking, graphic design, painting, custom lettering, wire wrapping, beading, weaving...

To pick one to focus on? How?
And more then that... how to start little? I have such an immediate grasp of creative things... I end up frustrated so quickly at not having the tools to create what is in my head... even in the graphics design I'm frustrated... if only I had a pen...

Ahhh... the absent blatherings. Do ignore them. Just another dreamer... not a doer... a starter, not finisher.

*muddling about in a cloud of what ifs, could be's and perhapseseissesss*

ah, deary me. maybe I haven't been blogging daily because I finish the post feeling less accomplished then when I started...

Fff. I'mma publish this. then make a new post. a short one. about my idea for a food item tonight. Hmmph.
