the joy of cooking
I decided to start a blog in hopes of finding a creative outlet. I’ve abandoned my livejournal months ago, and want to start fresh. I am all about new beginnings and I hope I will find my place in bloggers paradise. Now, to dive right in…
I live in a decent house in a quiet neighborhood, but I would really like my own. Of course, who wouldn’t? The boyfriend and I are living with his Mom, which isn’t as bad as one might think. It’s a relief not to have to worry about rent, but credit cards and old, old, debt have crept up and I am in the process of taking care of that. Now, after all that is said and done, and my credit is on it’s way to being repaired, I’m starting a “Jen Wants A House Fund.” I’m secretly hoping that Warren’s grandparents give us their house someday. He thinks it’s too small and claustrophobic, but I loved it the moment I saw it before they even moved in. Plus there is a big back yard, a hot tub AND a pergola (my favorite word!) – There is even access to the backyard from the master bedroom. Sure, the kitchen is tiny, but I love the fireplace and the sunny bedroom off of the dining/living room. And no association fees! See, it’s perfect.
My new obsessions also involve eating clean, weight loss, and hobby farms. I’ve been eating pretty decent, exercising, and drinking tons of water. Eventually, I would like to lose 100+ pounds, but right now I’m concentrating on the act of eating, and fueling my body the correct way. I feel pretty good. I sleep better – although I have a hard time going to bed by 9pm. *checks clock* Yep, I should be asleep by now. 5am comes early!
I’ve always wanted a hobby farm. I would love to be able to wake up in the country everyday. I know there is a 95% chance that will never happen, so I will do what I can here in hell. I mean Las Vegas. I could create a country oasis in that backyard!
I guess I just miss living in greener pastures sometimes. I sure don’t miss the humidity. Or the bugs. Blech.
