I'm like, I REALLY want to bake cookies, or a cake, or a pie, etc. CP always gets excited, but then I think, well, we really shouldn't eat that crap, so then I get sad. I need more gatherings so that I can make these things!Non Sequitur Chicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268138421234170972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-70160513724254343152010-04-20T15:42:06.050-06:002010-04-20T15:42:06.050-06:00Oh, I totally get that.

And yet I still get the urge. I also organise books and clothes and do gardening. Somehow I rarely get the urge to clean or do filing. Not hugely surprising.Nose in a bookhttp://www.noseinabook.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-88662684718606291662010-04-20T12:33:27.372-06:002010-04-20T12:33:27.372-06:00Oh no you don't.

You can have them later if they still have a will to live after cleaning up all our dog hair and detritus.<br />Seriously. I can't believe how gross our house has gotten, and how quickly.

Swoon! <br /><br />I've been on an organization kick the last couple of days too. In fact, how is this for a spring nesting combo? Not only did I spend a couple of hours starting a new filing system and plowing through some long overdue paperwork sorting & shredding yesterday, later I reorganized some of my bookmarks on the laptop while we were watching tv. The bookmarks I tackled last night? My "baked goods & desserts" recipe folder: 166 items, including 50 cookie recipes alone. Of those I've probably only ever tried maybe 20 recipes. If I figure out how to muster the inspiration to clean the baseboards I'll head over to your house when I'm done here!fairydogmotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07901824447445942886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-12364402824035043182010-04-20T08:32:23.500-06:002010-04-20T08:32:23.500-06:00I get insane about organizing and purging.

But not so much bake.<br /><br />And when I do bake - we eat a slice or two and then I send the cake to work with B because he can use the calories and I assume the rest of the engineers can, too.

But if I do that, then we'll have to have all new blinds/curtains and carpet (oh! you should see the hideous colors the former owners put in here!). Then I remember that I'm out of a job and am about to run out of unemployment, so we STILL can't really afford to make any changes like that. And I get depressed.<br /><br />I did thoroughly clean the house last Friday. By Saturday night the kids had completely DEMOLISHED it...and I remembered why I don't usually bother.<br /><br />Perhaps it's time to make some chocolate chip cookies?

I buy seasonal plates when they are incredibly cheap then load it up with baked goodness and randomly take them to people. I LOVE to bake and by giving them away I'm not consuming massive quantities of them.
