Oh Dory..

I was at work today and thought of a great blog topic.

However, I will not be blogging about it.

Thanks Dory.

Every blessing You pour out I’ll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in Lord, still I will say, “blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your name.”

Perfecting my cookie making skills.

Almost a year ago I was attempting to make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies from scratch. As I pulled my first batch out of the oven something was very wrong. They were flat as pancakes. Now we all know chocolate chip cookies are supposed to raise while they bake. Well these cookies did not.

I could not figure out what I had done wrong. After a phone call to grandma we came to the conclusion to add more flour. Next batch looked exactly the same as the first, but tasted like a flour mill.
What on earth had I done!? I went back over the steps one by one. I then looked at the recipe name and realized it said pumpkin bread, instead of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.

How I managed to pull this one off I have no idea. It was rather embarrassing telling my grandma and mom what I had done, but we all got a good laugh out of it in the end.

These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies have haunted me till this day. Every time my roommate and I are talking with others about cooking and baking, I am always quick to say Brittany has the cookie making skills. I just never mastered the art of making cookies for some reason. Unless they are the no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies. : )

I had a very kind and generous person in my life mow my yard last night. In appreciation I wanted to do some thing for him. What a better time to practice my cookie making skills!

I am very happy to say the cookies are normal! They look like cookies, and taste like them too! I think the brand new cookie sheet my mom got me helped a bit. : )
All in all i mastered a batch of cookies with out destroying them and having to throw them away. Tis going to be a wonderful day!

I have not blogged in a long time.
I started this blog in September 2009. I made a few blogs at first, but I ended up deleting them shortly after when I decided blogging was stupid.
Nine months later here I am.

I realize now the reason why I quit blogging was because I thought I didn't have time for it. Which probably at the time was true. I was a busy woman. Working 45-50 hours a week, taking care of a dog and 2 cats, being involved in a long term relationship and balancing God in my life consumed me.

The only thing that is different now is I am not taking care of a dog and 2 cats anymore & also the obvious. Which, if you do know me, you know what I am talking about. If you have no idea what I am talking about, well then it doesn't really matter anyways.

Time is precious to me. Once today is over, you never get it back.
The words "I don't have time to do this" or "I would love to, but I don't have time" were coming out of my mouth way too often. Things are different now.

I have made time in my life for more important things, rather than the little things. I feel these more important things in my life, which I have allowed to become a bigger part of my life, has allowed me to feel I am spending my time more wisely. I do not feel like I am wasting precious time on useless things anymore.

Now that I am more understanding of my time, hopefully I will be able to write more. It's something I enjoy doing. I also feel it's only fair I share my crazy/random thoughts with others.
