toast

we were given a breadmaker for our wedding from bren. we now use it on a weekly basis to make our supply of bread. i like this. for some reason i find it very satisfying to be off the grid for bread.

when i was 24 i started scrap-booking. in hindsight it was art-therapy. i spent ours sorting out my life and pasting it into a small journal. i created some beautiful pages. in early 2005 my scrap-booking came to an end. i think it ran it's course and i no longer needed it. i reluctantly browsed thru the book this evening. i don't like to do that because i put in that book everything i needed to leave behind. looking at it brings back everything that's better in pages of history. it got me thinking though. blogging is my new scrap-book. and probably my new art-therapy too. i like that i've documented so much of my life on this thing. it's going on 5 years old! hard to believe.

what i wanted most was to get myself all figured out,
and what i figured out was that i needed more time to figure things out.
