getting started

reading melindas blog inspired me to start blogging again, so here i am. i rarely use myspace anymore, which is where i blogged previously, so this seems like a better outlet for my thoughts and news.

a bit of an update on my life:

ive been without a job for over two months now, but ive learned not to worry about it and instead make the most of my free time. i still search for jobs and network and update my CV and other necessary tasks, but now instead of spending all day fretting about whats gonna happen, im enjoying this time that i wont later have. im sure something will come along eventually, and if i live frugally (which ive gotten good at) i can survive for the next few months on the money i have saved up. so, now that the sun is usually shining i grab a tote bag with a blanket, some food, water, a good novel (right now im reading a tom robbins book - hes a great writer!, and im also reading 1984 for the first time - very interesting) and i go sit in one of the many beautiful parks amsterdam has to offer. ive really never seen so many great parks in such a small area. ill post some photots soon.

beyond that, ive been working on my baking and cooking quite a bit. i must say, i can now make the perfect chocolate chip cookie, and the same goes for my cinnamon rolls. ill try to remember to take photos before theyre all eaten next time. we do a fair amount of potlucks so i get plenty of opportunities to try out different recipes which is nice. now that im living alone again it doesnt make much sense to make big meals for just myself. but luckily it isnt very difficult to find people willing to help me eat what i make.

ok, speaking of food, i need to make breakfast now. then, if these clouds wear off, a ride through the park, then off to the library.
