Temperature Regulation

What up my people?! I hadn't realized it had been over a month since I had last blogged. Again, epically failing in my quest to keep this blog semi-functional. So I'm hoping there is more out there reading this than Internet tumbleweeds.

To recap the last month - I was sick for a while, and that always sucks being sick in the summertime. Lost all of my precious tan and pretty much my zeal for summer. I'm ready to just fast forward to fall and get on with it. I prefer winter in general anyway because I don't like the heat - probably because I can't control my temperature as well as I can in the cold. With the cold, you just throw more blankets on and be done. But in the summer even wearing a bathing suit still feels like an inferno. That said, I do need to do some weeding out of the wardrobe. I don't really need as many heavy sweaters anymore - I wind up just sweating.

I've been trying out a lot of new recipes but not really liking anything I make for myself. I'm trying to push my food comfort zone, but I wind up not eating things! I don't understand why my food does not turn out like Giada from Everyday Italian and Giada at Home. I mean, besides the house on the beach in Cali with the awesome kitchen and cooking training, what does she have that I don't? Seriously, though, my lack of prep space is becoming somewhat of an impediment to my cooking adventures. There is only room for a cutting board and a mixing bowl, maybe two if I move some stuff around. So that's also adding to my frustration.

In other hobbies, I'd also like to take up mosaics. I've been trying to get in to a mosaics and glass class but no luck. Also, I'd like to pick up the Web site building, although it's hard to get myself to sit in front of the computer after looking at one all day. Speaking of which, I am pooped and need to sleep. I have to gear up for two more work days and the push to the weekend!
