So today I decided to try something new. I'm no cook and I say that without shame or embarrasment whatsoever.
And because necessity is the mother of all invention, I decided it was high time to make something different.
I decided to make hash browns. Not knowing how, I found a quick
k recipe on allrecipes.com, added some oregano, adobo, and garlic (for a more seasoned taste), and succesfully
made my first batch ever of hash browns. And fed them to my husband along with eggs overeasy. He enjoyed every bit if it.
Maybe next weekend I'll exprimen t with another dish adventure.

OMG!
It's been over a year since I've written here. A lot has happened, as you can very well guess. I'm still here at the job (mainly out of necessity) and I'm still bored. My arthritis is at its worst and getting worse. And, this past April, I got married. Yup, my friends, I got hitched. To a young, European guy no less. A sweetheart of a fellow who looked beyond the American way of looking at women and saw me for the inner beauty that I am. Quite fortunate, eh? I certainly believe so. And while I started out thinking that this may have been too good to be true, I am now thinking, "why the hell not?". I figured that I only have one life to live and now is my chance to start over again. Last year, for my last blog, I wrote that my life as a single parent was almost over. A prophesy in and of itself. Within a year's time, I've changed my mental outlook even in the slightest and have learned that, even with a new life (or a new chapter in this old life), I am still learning about myself.
A good example of this is my ability to share. Since I got married, I found I had issues with trust and sharing. It was hard to trust and it is still hard to share. I've been accustomed to many years of living alone (without a male partner) and I've always had my things, my closet space, my bed sans the snoring of another.
But its a process that we've both have had to get accustomed to. He too was a notoriously single person for a long time and this American culture is all too ridiculous for him.
The beauty of it all, and the beauty of this union, is quite simple. We get along, beautifully. Neither one of us are conscious of our age difference (15 years) and we work wonderfully together.
So, here is to a new chapter in an old life, or a new life altogether. Let's see what new stories can be derived this time around.
Until next time, ciao.
