fun to be 6

my son is 6, full of fun and laughter and enjoying life. in hard times i get my joy from him, just watching him, soaking up his energy. lately he has developed a love of drawing, just like i had at his age. watching him create stories with his pictures reminds me of what it was like to be a kid, unburdened by all this silly (and not so silly) adult stuff.

here's one of his latest creations.

it's a picture of him with his dad. fun stuff. so simple.... i can only wish life was that simple. but for a moment i can look at his drawings and smile and pretend it is.

once upon a time...

starting in march 2011, i am attempting to switch directions on my blog. well, actually to just blog more. i'm just looking for some creative sharing outlet other than facebook. so - without further ado - the first entry into my new and improved blog!!

once upon a time i made beef wellington and mushroom risotto for my ex boyfriend. he wasn't my ex at the time. it turned out to be delicious, despite making a stupid mistake in the process. pyrex pans and direct heat do not mix. soooo, i shattered his pan and nearly blew up the kitchen, but he got a scrumptious meal afterwords. and a brand new pyrex set. i was always going out of my way to try to please him, but it didn't work, since he is now my ex. and the whole thing about the way to a man's heart is through his stomach - yeah not so true either. anyway - the result is below.



turns out it's hard to add a photo to your blog and get it to go where you want it to. i had to go to the html code.... wow.

well that's my first new post.... hope to post more creative things soon.
