Today we spent more time clearing the basement. I baked some more bread–the raisin bread lasted all of fifteen minutes–for sandwiches. I realized that I’m into baking right now because it’s easily controllable and, since I’m following a recipe, I don’t have to make any choices to create something.
Rob pulled some wooden wine crates out of the basement and lo! they are perfect for packing china. So, I sat down on the kitchen floor and wrapped newspaper around china until my hands were black with ink. As I finished each crate, Rob would nail the lids shut. Honestly, you’d think we were getting ready to hop into a covered wagon rather than a moving van.
Somehow, packing the china made it sink in that yes, we are actually going. We are moving. I will not be hosting any more dinner parties in Portland. It is strange and finally real.
Anyone want some cookies? I feel like baking something.

I do!
mmm cookies. if you still feel like it, you can bring some to Salt Lake.
That is a very good idea. Have any special requests?
I’d love some cookies! Calorie-free, with lots of chocolate chips and gooy stuff in the middle mm-mmm-mmm.
I worked out for an hour today and had potato chips to celebrate. Baby steps, it’s all about the baby steps…:)
Congratulations on the move, and hopefully everything goes nice and smoothly.
I loves me some cookies!! *drool*
Wait once. Three bags full of home made ‘diet rite’ oatmeal cookies (sometimes refered to as ‘colon busters’) are in the mail on their way to Portland.
May I request that the baking continue once you arrive?
Wordly: Got a recipe for those calory free chocolate chip cookies?
Aimeee: Next party, I’ll have cookies.
MomK: In fact the box arrived yesterday. Thanks!
Fabulous Girl: But of course!
