I'd rather be working?

Ok, so I'm really supposed to be working right now. I've started - even made my "to do" list. But I have serious ADD and am trying to get my "desk" cleaned off before I start. This is what got me so distracted.

One of the things sitting open on my "desk" (I say "desk" because it's an ugly 4-ft brown table that I use) is the recent issue of Better Homes and Gardens. I used to really love this magazine and lately haven't been that inspired. However, as I was reading it the other day (during Brett's speech class - this is when I catch up on my magazines!) I saw something really awesome!

It's a website called http://www.tastebook.com that lets you create a hardcover cookbook online! You can add your own recipes or find recipes you like from their site. They'll print it all for you. It's only $20 for the binder with 25 pages and you can add future recipes! I have been trying to figure out what I want to do with my recipes for over a year now. Not kidding. At one point I thought I wanted to type them on 5x7 cards and put them in a box. But then I got this really cute stand that sits on my kitchen counter and just the other day decided I wanted to put them into a binder/actual cookbook. But, I was wrestling with the size, etc. Then I saw this Tastebook thing! Oh my goodness! I could not believe it! I am so excited about it and that's why I can't seem to close the magazine where it's listed. I want to enter all my recipes NOW and make my cookbook.

But, I have work to do. I have a new website to create (yeah!) and several more updates to make on other sites. Plus I have a lot of pending Hospital Hill work to work on. All of that (which I get paid for) and a lot that I don't! I need to work on Christmas cards - as soon as our pictures get here, work on the baby's room and Brett's big boy room, and finalize my plans for the baby's announcement (yes I'm working on the design this soon - that's a very important thing you know!). Oh, and I forgot finishing Brett's scrapbook and uploading pictures. (And I haven't even mentioned housework in all of this - don't tell Lance!)

Anyway, that's what's on my mind right now. Maybe this short little interlude will help me focus. I certainly don't want to be up late tonight, 6am comes very early.
