You see, the good thing about the fact that I know I am flake is the fulfillment of recognizing my downfalls. For the longest time I chose to ignore the fact that I am not perfect. Man life is hard when you realize something so profound. I have flaked on my blog this month. I would apologize but sickness ran through our house like a tornado and now I am spending my time cleaning up its damages. My house is a wreck and I had to go and buy new pants because the holidays haven't been nice to my waistline. Gosh I can't say waistline because I haven't had one of those for years. My tire in the middle has upgraded from truck size to semi. Boy it is getting heavy to lug around so what better time of year to reclaim my waistline! I went to the thrift store to buy my "new to me" pants because no way am I commiting to my bigger size with a brand new pair. I just need to breathe until I downsize that tire in the middle. Can you believe I have actually considered making new sweats to wear out of the house? Ewww. Well, I will go with what I know works to lose some weight. Weight watchers points system. I will be holding off on too much excercise until I get my ~ Facet Rhizotomy ~ done. Excercise really flares up my neck pain and hopefully I will be a new woman after February 11th!
Got some Christmas money! You would think a craftymama would spend her money on materials. I really am a crafter at heart but against all odds I splurged on a kitchen appliance. Check it out! A pressure cooker!
Shipped it was $99.99. What can I do with my last penny????
You see I can't stand being in the kitchen but my creative and thrifty self doesn't let me get by on pb&j all of the time so the only thing left for a crafty girl to do is to cook. I want more time. I want more time for my crafts. I want to eat healthy. I am a thrifty person and have not had the heart to turn the crock pot on all of time. Hopefully this little beauty will satisfy those needs. If not, at least I will be able to can tuna fish and soups for those lazy days I have been having too many of lately.

I LOVE my pressure cooker! I am wishing you much love of yours in the new year! If you ever want healthy pressure cooker meals check out Lorna Sass... she is wonderful and she has vegan versions as well. I love her! Congrats on your new baby! (My waistline didn't last the winter either. Been reclaiming that 10lbs with nightly yoga. lol... lets hope I can keep it up. ;) How long is it that resolutions are supposed to last? A week? Two?)

I can't wait to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation on recipes. That was going to be my next step. I am so excited thinking of canning my own soup and stuff. Resolutions last about a minute around here. Looks like I am not starting Weight Watchers until Monday when the kiddos go back to school. Too hard when they are here grazing all day long!
I am in LOVE with my pressure cooker so far. Got it in the mail about a month ago. This is one appliance that will be staying on the stove! Oh, thanks for recommending Lorna Sass. Checked out one of her books at the library. Loved it.
