It's time to stop hiding

I have time on my hands now. Or at least that's what I've told myself. It's been over 3 months since I was laid off from my job with an insurance company. Since then it's been a ride. I've thrown myself into cooking classes, sometimes fitness (not so good about that one but I do love zumba!), Toastmasters (I had started with my previous employer and there was no way I was going to stop!), a project management course (ends in 16 days, eep!), even attempted to join a writer's group (went to 1 meeting and everything, or as George Lopez would say, y todo) and getting my driver's license. I'm almost 35 years old and do not have a driver's license. Don't know how I've managed (actually yes, I do, public transit and charitable rides from friends and family). So now I'm going for it. I've been up to my eyeballs today in G1 online practice tests. OK. I exaggerate.

But I have gone through a lot of online practice tests.

I guess my inspiration to make a serious attempt to blog came from watching Julie and Julia. How ingenious was that?! To cook recipes out of a book and write about it. Love it. Simple and beautiful.

But I'm rambling and am going nowhere. I guess for now, I'll stop. Finish cleaning my kitchen of the macaroon mess. Made coconut lime macaroons. Learned the recipe in a Thai cooking class this past week. Even made pad thai last night. So proud of that one.

ciao, will write again, I promise
