How can I get away with never buying bread from the store again? I was thinking I could make lots of dough all at once and freeze some. Maybe I'll just forget about it and keep buying bread. I've got to make some sourdough though... and biscuits. I must perfect biscuits. I need to make a list of things I want to accomplish before I realize I need a job again. My camera cord broke, the daughter decided it was a jump rope. I miss it. I'd really like a better camera anyways. One of the things on the list should be to sell $500 worth of art/crafts/baked goods. I painted a picture today to hang in the bathroom. I would have posted a picture but... ya know. Have you ever seen an artist post their own art on Craigslist and you want to tell them that it's not worth a nickel and a corndog, but they claim they're "selling for way less than it's worth." and they're selling it for $95? I'm not doing that. I'm not painting poorly proportioned fairies or dragons or Bob Marley (sorry Jason) or lame attempts at "abstract". I'm sticking with wolves howling at the moon that resembles a native-American dream catcher. Duh. Hahaha, that reminds me of this strange refrigerator magnet I saw recently: there was a native-American couple holding each other super-intimately with feathers in their flowing hair and there was a scripture on it. I wish I could remember what the scripture was... but it made no sense.

We're going to the beach today. I have a feeling we won't be living in Florida forever, seeing as my husband and child don't fare well with the insect bites on the skin. Poor babies. I wish we could afford to move somewhere else. I really think we're just gunna win some large but reasonable sum of money, I don't need a million... maybe like, $25,000 (without gambling). I mean, I'd certainly take a million. Mmmm, salty water. I love the beach. I can't wait to come to Florida on vacation. I think I need to go to some destination that we decide on and find a job and apartment whilst the husband works here and my parents can do some babysitting, but I'm basically just thinking out loud right now. Very loud. what?

Man, I like dessert. Lately I've been expecting dessert after dinner and I especially want it when it's not around. Right now I could go for some chocolate mousse. Warm waffles with strawberry ice cream, chocolate syrup and crushed peanuts sounds pretty good. Sopapillas with honey! Carrot cake and coffee! OH! You can never go wrong with brownies, with so many walnuts, and fresh whipped cream on top. A big ol' biscotti with an espresso shot. Creme brulee. Tiramisu. Orange souffle with chocolate sauce. Cupcakes with a pile of frosting and sprinkles. Soft peanut butter cookies. At this point I'm just hurting myself. Sigh... ooooo, Seinfeld is on. What a great show. Thank god for distractions.
