The Toxic Housewife

I once had someone tell me I had a "wide aura".  Apparently, this means I'll often feel what others are feeling and am influenced by their moods.  Unfortunately, I don't know just how "wide" my aura is, which makes blaming my bitchiness on someone in the next state a little challenging.

Ohh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah: I’m an over-achieving braggart. Got a problem with that? Oh.  Well, then, you'd better not read this blog.

I'm not sure what exactly my problem is, but I've suddenly found  myself to be awfully emotional the last few days.  And I'm not even pregnant.

OK, so my whole 2-posts-a-week goal has not been working out.  But can you blame me?  I've had things to obsess over and -- once the obsessing was over for the day -- I had crappy movies to watch.

Strawberry-Rhubarbara Tarts 1)  I was making a Strawberry-Rhubarbara ("When Plain Strawberry-Rhubarb Just Won't Do!") Pie this week, and had leftovers.  So I decided to freeze little mini-pies in these muffin tins to bake later.

French Bread Today I felt like cooking.  This usually means I'll find an excuse to make cookies or brownies or something.  But I'm trying hard to be healthier this week . . . which totally explains why I made two loaves of carb-tastic, enriched-white-flour bread instead.
