Catching Up--January 5th

GROCERIES!  Hooray!
Sorry.
Been a while since we really stocked up, we got so busy with the holidays and all of that, we just kind of stopped buying food and when I say our cupboards were bare, I mean BARE.  Indecent exposure bare.
But not anymore.
We have food!  I can cook!

Didn't work out much today.  5 minutes of ab workouts, maybe, but that was it.  Felt really run down, not quite sick, but decidedly not right.  The family watched The Great Muppet Caper together this afternoon. 

I did some more work on the cookbook today.  I've got the front cover and 2 of the chapter covers done now.  I'm trying very hard to make them appealing.  I want them to be crisp and solidly done, I may not have any actual graphics design education, but that doesn't mean I can't try to do a nice job and make them sort of charming. 
I've been working on moving the recipes from a dozen files into separate chapter document files to make organizing and formatting a little easier; there are a bunch of recipes I need to type up, as well.
I will have this dumb thing done this year lol.  I will.  I will have it done and give copies to all of the cousins as Christmas gifts.  That's a lot of cousins.  But I will do it.  It will be DONE.

I should also help mom and dad scan in and organize the ridiculous exploding folders of recipes they have at their house.
