Sorry guys. I just have been busy. In the last week I've become a little obsessed with homemade foods and baking. Are you wondering why?
Well. I finally got my new KitchenAid Mixer. I've been dying to get one for years. Actually, since December of 2000. I saw the bright red one in the Amazon wish book at one of my doctor's appointments when I was pregnant with Devan. Jon decided to get me one this year! He also got me tons of silicone bowls and stuff from ISI (one of his clients) and I love every bit of it.
I've been baking bread and cookies and compiling recipes to try out. This week I'm going to make New York style bagels, and I might bake some sugar cookies. I have these really cute snowflake cookie cutters that I never used at Christmastime.
Another fantastic present from Jon was this beautiful new iMac:
This present was such a surprise! I kept joking that he was going to get me one, not thinking he actually would. I had recently been fixing up a little work area/studio space for myself and I think maybe he noticed the giant gap in the middle of my desk, just waiting for a nice little iMac. Well it fits perfectly.
I got tons of great gifts: Harry Potter box set, several other good books, an expensive, rare old font (wow!) ornaments, picture frames, pig paraphernalia, etc. I'm so in love with all of them! The one thing I didn't get is a PUPPY. Someone must have overlooked this somehow.
We all had a great Christmas and a really nice, relaxing New Year. I'm trying to get back into the swing of the non-Holiday season. It's not as magical, so I'm a litle "blah" about things.
Tomorrow I'll be undressing the Christmas Tree and removing all of the decorations from the house. I've been avoiding it, because I don't like the emptiness that it leaves behind. Well, that's all for now!
