good morning

The thing I like most about this? I can say what I can't say on facebook.  Well, I could say it on there, but I wouldn't want people to see it.  Like the fact that it makes me upset that my sister 'talked to her best for over an hour yesterday'.. For some reason I thought that should have been me.  But, cest la vie, right?

So it's just another day today.  Way below freezing outside.  And I told a friend I would go help her with things today.  Outside.  I know its part of being a friend, and I don't have any other friends out here, seeing as I've only lived here for a couple months now, but why did I say that yesterday...  I would much rather stay home and cook.

Which leads me to another thing.. At our wedding, I promised my husband in our vows that I would learn to cook for him.  Because I wanted to.  I never really learned how to cook or bake when I was younger, and living on my own I never felt the need to be more diverse than grilled cheese sandwiches and spaghetti-o's.  So I'm learning how to cook now.  And I'm using cookbooks and the internet.  But my husband says I don't need them, I can just throw some stuff together like he does.  He cooks sometimes, and that is pretty much what he does, and it comes out good.  But its basically a variety of the same thing.  I want to make something different, something tasty and really good.  And I can't do that on my own without the help of a book.  So now it seems like he's berating me for wanting to learn how to cook.  Don't get me wrong, I don't think badly of my husband at all, I just don't understand where he's coming from.  Yeah, maybe someday I'll be able to whip something together like our moms can each do, but for now, I need the guidance of my cookbooks. 

So those are this mornings thoughts.  Let's see where the day goes...
