and I forgot to update this again, I'm hopeless ;) actually I am trying to not be online all the time :)
so, next blog.. I promised a friend the link to this one so I thought I'd present it here at the same time.
A cooking blog! I have no idea how I found it though, probably through another blog..
The Danny/Gwyneth project A guy who got Gwyneth's cookbook and is now cooking through it a bit like Julia/Julie :) I love cooking and the way he writes it's very funny to read too :) and now I know I definitely don't need to buy "My Father´s daughter" ;)

The above blog actually times in very well with what I've been up to this weekend, I just realized that ;)
I spent Saturday and half of Sunday at our cottage cooking for my Dad and brother-in-law (they did some work on a house my sister and brother-in-law are building) :) and of course I always strive to cook delicious food (although maybe not Gourmet) :D I did manage to ease the demands I put on myself so I bought some of the bread for the weekend and only baked one kind ;) and I only made cookies and not a lot of elaborate desserts :P I'm getting so good at simplifying my life :D and luckily I still have some cookie dough left and a friend coming over tomorrow so I can serve her cookies too, yey! :)

Blogging

I'm so much better at reading blogs than writing on my own, but I thought I'd now have a small serie where I present some of the blogs I'm reading :)
Whenever I find a new blog I read it from end to beginning so that I really get to know what kind of blog and person it is about :)
So first out is Herding Cats, a blog I found via facebook (I think) and her very good text about using the word "retarded" (http://phoebeholmes.com/2011/12/23/being-retarded/ really a very good bit, read it!). So I started to read it to the beginning, I've actually read it all so now I'm reading the new stuff she's written while I've been reading backwards ;) I like her style and I always love reading about families. It's actually one of few blogs that isn't in some way related to art&craft or some other of my bigger interests. Happy reading if you decide to check it out :)

Complaining/back pain

I hate people who complain all the time or just talk about negative stuff, but today I'm going to join them for a little while..
This day felt blah from the morning and it hasn't so far gotten better.. my back is hurting a bit more today too. For those who doesn't know I have a herniated disc and that's what has made my back, hip, butt, leg etc hurt for the last 5months or so. I even got a MRI scan and am now in the que for an operation..
So because of that I called my health care provider, so I could talk to my own doctor who I really really like, only to be told that I have a new "own" doctor.. again.. so now I have to talk to a new doctor once again.. sigh.. 
Luckily there's a new water gymnastics group today that I'm going to try out, I loooove swimming :) and luckily it's not forbidden, instead the last fysiotherapist recommended it :) it's also good to get out of the house, some days the only reason to go out of the house is to go to the store and that usually ends with chocolate.. although today might end that way too.. ugh..
I hate and love chocolate.. feels like most of my life has revolved around chocolate (or candy)..
