I am off work this entire week, which is really lovely. An added bonus is the fact that I am feeling really fantastic. This morning I made pretty good headway in the house cleaning department, but what has been more surprising is my rediscovered zest for cooking. I ran out to the grocery store and picked up ingredients (way too expensive by the way) for a chicken tortilla soup as well as a french silk pie. Both are new recipes, and the soup will take several hours of crock pot simmering–while the pie cools. I really hope they turn out. I used to bake absolutely all the time, so finding the energy and desire to do so once more was really refreshing. Kyle has been begging for that damn pie for months.

I never would have said this a year or so ago, but I really think I could trade in my day job to be a housewife. As long as I baked all day, went to yoga classes, and found other ways to bide my time…I could really get used to this. Too bad…
