Is She Or Isn't She?

YIKES!!!  Look who's come out of hiding...ME!!!  I've had the itch to start up a new blog, just for my recipes...but, a little thing happened.  The Big Boober and I decided to get off our fat and fluffy asses and do something about ourselves.  From the looks of this blog, I've obviously cooked more than I should have...but, my oh my, I've loved every minute of it.  Don't get me wrong...I'm still cooking!  Have to eat for survival...but, now I'm cooking for The Big Boober's and my SURVIVAL.  How's that for a change!  So the change is this...The Big Boober is counting his carbs (thanks to a sticky little situation called diabetes), and I'm counting those calories (the easy way with Lose It!).  Oh yea...get this...I'm ACTUALLY exercising!!!  Can you believe it?!?  ME...of all people!!!  I gotta tell you, it's like a kick in the ol' arse that this gal is actually doing something for herself...and loving it!

Okay, now down to the nitty gritty.  I'm not sure what the bejeebus I'm going to do with this blog.

• Still thinking about changing the name of it...I realize that Blogger lets you do that now...go figure.
• I'm also thinking about retiring The Big Boober name...because this is going to be a new day and a new blog...so he gets a make-over too!
• I would like to still add recipes every now and then...in fact, I've got a stack of them that I've been trying out and photographing to share with everyone...old habits don't die (regardless of the saying).
• I've toyed with the thought of still doing an occasional bitch session...especially after the comment I got from ANONYMOUS (please people, enough of the anonymous posts...you are real people with real names...JUST USE THEM) on this little post...Do You Know the Muffin Man.  I HAD to come out of retirement to comment on that one.  By the way...he NEVER responded back!  Figures.

Okay, I'm getting off course here.

• I REALLY don't want to make this a let's see how Anne is doing with her weight loss and getting in shape blog either.  Though I will brag from time to time...because it's my blog, and I can do whatever I want with it.  That sounded like a nanny nanny nu nu to me!
• I've been on and off the fence about the whole comment thing.  I had left it on for months after retiring, but then decided to pull the plug on commenting because I got a few questions about some of the tutorials I did...and I JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE UMPH IN ME TO ANSWER THEM.  Sorry to those who I let down...but there really was a lot of crap going on in our lives.  That's not an excuse...just a plain fact.
• Oh yea...the comment thing will be turned back on...just because I LOVE hearing from all of you...and miss, miss, miss all of you soooooo very much!  Serious sap moment there.
• I do know one thing...I AM NOT GOING TO BECOME A SLAVE TO THIS BLOG!!!  I will NOT blog every day, because I DO have a life where I have a home and family that comes first and foremost...I also have a job that I love selling cruises and tour packages...I run an Etsy shop (you can click that little box up there on the right to pop into my shop...shameless advertising)...I have to walk 2 dogs (no longer 3, our Harley died in December) several times a day...I am STILL trying to adjust to downsizing from 3300 sq ft to 952 sq ft...and various other things that make me who I am.

So that's pretty much the basics.  Sounds like I just went to the confessional...but now I am cleansed of all my blogging sins...and this is the new me trying to start something fresh and exciting.  Am I setting myself up for something bigger than I can handle?  I hope not...but this is a journey I'm looking forward to sharing with all of you.

Now if you'll please excuse me, but I have to go tell Danno that I'm up to no good...AGAIN!  Oh yea, The Big Boober is now Danno...another story for another day!
