Hi, I left my blog unattended for a while.(the blogs before this were from 09) I have never been one to keep a diary, although I can see how rewarding and beneficial it can be to record your life journey. It is a great opportunity to look back at your growth, failures and triumphs and to keep a record of your life. In the days before computers and phones we would write letters and people would keep those letters. They were passed down from generation to generation. The letters were in fact part of a families history.
So here I am at my second attempt to record my life. And hopefully to pass some part of me on to my children and their children.

Here is what I have been up to  since I stopped blogging. My family stopped watching TV. we actually kept the cable off until January of this year. Since January, however, we have all been watching TV. And boy is it easy to get sucked back in. I am a housewives of ATL, BH, NJ and NYC  .  And really all of it is garbage but fun and interesting garbage which is why I am glued to the TV lately. However,  I have been threatening to turn it off again, and permanently this time. I really am done with it.

Also, I have started again cooking well for my family. The Julia Child's thing did not last long. It really was interesting but too intense for me. This month I started cooking and freezing. So that we would have good meals all month long. The idea is to cook in one day for a month. It took me about 4 days to cook for a month. And actually, I did not finish everything . But it really is easier to cook larger portions by tripling or quadrupling the recipes. Chili works our really well.

Finally, I am not a flake, well I choose not to put it that way any longer. In fact I choose not to behave like things that I create do not matter(essentially being flaky). Which means that a commitment (meaning this blog and other things in my life) must be kept.


Here are the commitments that I am willing to keep related to this blog

1. I will keep this blog current. Posting at least weekly.
2. I will use this  blog as a way of communicating what I am up to in life.
3. I will be accountable for what I am up to.

Next blog: What I am up to.
