Sorry for the slow blogging….

…but for someone who doesn’t have a “real job”, I have found myself to be quite busy the past couple of weeks. I also have been extremely tired — almost narcoleptic — and I don’t know why. I haven’t been this sleepy since Hambet was a wee nursling.
Speaking of “real jobs,” I wonder what “real jobs” has Mrs Heinz-Kerry held? Managing charitable donations is a worthy occupation, I suppose, but does it count as a “real job?” What does the pay stub of a Lady Bountiful look like? Does she get docked if she burns through her sick leave too quickly?
I thought that being poised, pulled together, and on point were good things. So why are women with these qualities mocked as “Stepford Wives”?
I did make Mrs Bush’s cookie recipe and it’s a keeper. The cookie part is really good, a nice oatmeal cookie that smells just scrumptious in the oven. The recipe as written has lots and lots of stuff in it. I used chocolate chips and dried cherries (from Trader Joe’s) but omitted the walnuts; if I had left the walnuts in I’m not sure where they would have fit — the cookies were almost all stir-ins with a little bit of cookie holding them together.

  1. Welcome back!
    I can’t wait ’til November 3… then we can put the ick that is Teresa behind us all 🙂
    Gotta love Laura saying that Teresa didn’t have to apologize… what a classy woman.

  2. I think there is a wave of “tiredness” going around- Blessed are the Tired… for they will find rest.
    :)Hang in there.
