WOW

I kind of fell off of the face of the bloggy earth there for a while. It's been a busy, tiring, busy, awesome several months.
In regard to my last post, I went to the doctor and he put me back on some depression meds so I am doing so much better.
On to other topics. I am busy almost all. of. the. time. Why? Because I am crazy and I volunteer for all sorts of things.
Things like, PTA 2nd V.P. along with still handling the school newsletter and Accelerated Reader programs. I am still Girl Scout leader for Shaylee's Brownie troop. I teach Primary at church. And I still bake for people.
I just finished pies for Thanksgiving. I ended up with orders for somewhere between 24 and 30 pies. I lost count. I love pie. It is fun to make. I make really good pies.
Now I have started on the Christmas tamales. Unfortunately I haven't had as many ordered as I usually have. I think it may be because I tried something new the last two years in an attempt to streamline and speed up the tamale making process. I bought pre-made chile puree. It wasn't successful. The quality of my product (tamales) went down.
I have gone back to making it all from scratch from my original recipe. My house smells awesome and the pork filling tastes delicious!
I am making it a goal to do better with my blogging. My goal is to post at least once each week. There is too much going on in life to not do this. I treat it kind of like my journal, since I am no good at keeping a journal, and I need to document what is going on in my life.
