Domesticize me Cap'n!

Have you ever had moments where you sit back and go...whoa...this didn't use to bring me satisfaction/pleasure....what happened?  I got old that's what happened. 

I'll admit I wasn't the cleanest of kids, but I could still appreciate a clean room.  I wasn't one of those kids who HAD to have a messy room etc.  but was just lazy enough to have one, but not so much anymore.

 I mean... I was just sitting here trying to think of what to make for dinner. Often when I'm struggling with this question I turn to what is quickly becoming one of my favorite websites: ourbestbites.com.  I LOVE this website-especially because they organize all of their recipes in an index which saves a lot of time.  If you know you want a main dish or a dessert you don't have to waste your time looking at anything else etc. 

 I find myself excited to try out new recipes and constantly making lists of ingredients that we happen to not have (I mean what were we thinking not having cider vinegar!) and having poor code make pit stops on the way home.  I want to be one of those moms/wives who has a large repertoire of dishes that they can make with a large variety and gets joy in making them.  I also want to be one of those moms/wives who  can do it effortlessly; who can remember the recipe without having to have their nose two inches from the computer screen every two minutes cause she can't remember anything longer than that.  I'll get there though-I'm working on it.

Yesterday I cleaned the master bathroom, used our spiffy new steam cleaner "the shark" on the bathroom and kitchen floors, vacuumed, did laundry, and even though it made me tired....I kind of liked it....weird I know.  See this is what I'm talking about-I'm liking all of these old/responsible things that I used to not think twice about.  Yesterday at FHE we talked about our health care plan/retirement plans/ and watched the presidential debate.....I mean we're a step away from prune juice and heckling kids on the street right???

If it sounds like I'm complaining- I'm not, cause the things is- I kind of am enjoying this stuff which at the same time is kind of freaking me out.  I mean I know I've technically been an adult for awhile but now is the first time I am FEELING like one.

I'll let you know how dinner turns out tonight ;)
