Cover of Cookbook
I
had a dream the other night… that I had written
out 15 blog posts and posted them all online in one day.. I was having an anxiety
attack that I should have spread them out over two weeks…
Luckily
I woke up.. then I had an anxiety attack that I didn’t even write one blog post
in the last two weeks..
What
in the world has Haggy Housewife been doing? You ask…
Well…
being haggy for one.. two writing a cookbook…
Oh
that sounds easy …
Yeaaahhh
ok…
First
lets go back four months ago..
A
friend of mine is getting married in a month or so and she had requested some
recipes from me for a shower gift.. and because I have the Jarvis blood “cruising”
through my veins I wanted to wait till the last possible moment to start
thinking about this collection of recipes.. I knew of people who had books
printed of their wedding pictures with blurbs of words and what not so I
thought there should be a site where I could get a cookbook printed… half
searching I finally found one and settled down to upload the recipes..
Then
they changed the shower date on me…
I
wasn’t even close to having this book completed so I put it on the back burner
for several weeks because that deadline was quickly approaching and why have anything done weeks ahead of time…
those last minutes is when everything should be done.. right?
You
would think being 30 some years old I would have learned that nothing is gained
by rushing.. it is like my justification on cleaning house for company.. if I
do it too early everything will get trashed before they get here so lets wait
till the day of…
Anyways
back to my procrastination issues (something I had made a resolution not to do
this year.. but I have been procrastinating on starting to not procrastinate.)
So I poured myself into this book… the template this site had was not what I
wanted but for the price is what I needed.. I had to pour over each and every
recipe to make sure of the spelling, grammar and flow of the recipe was right..
Mama and Jessica started helping… Dishes started piling up..Laundry baskets are
over flowing and I kept a headache since last week.
But
it is done.
It
is like when you open the fridge and it spells like something crawled in there
and died… when you finally clean it all out and find that open container of
beans you forgot to use last month and now when you open it everything is
organized and sparkly… this is what it feels like..
Ok
maybe not everyone has a fridge like mine.. or keeps one like me.. just picture
something that bugs you so much you have dreams of it and once you have
completed the task that weight is lifted and you can now turn that focus on something
else.
For
me it is blogging..
I
do enjoy blogging but sometimes to sit down and make any sense of my thoughts
can be a uphill battle…
If
I am in a foul mood because of X Y and Z then all that comes out of me is hate
hate hate grump grump whine whine point fingers at this person blame that
person.. so on and so on..
But
now that I have completed this book I have no more excuses right?
Give
me a few minutes and I will think of several.
