Hello? Remember me?

I know I don't have a ton of readers, and hopefully someday that will change, but I think that to earn more readers, I need to write more.  As I'm sitting here, I am thinking about many many things.  I find myself here, nearly a year after the first time I posted, once again watching Julie and Julia.  This is what inspired me to blog, its also partly what inspired me to start cooking.  I can honestly say I am a much better cook now than I was a year ago yet there is so much more I want to learn.  I have decided that I need to give my blog a new look, and between now and the new year I will totally overhaul my blog.  I will try to enlist the help of my computer savvy husband and by New Years I want to launch my brand new look. If there is something you think will improve my blog PLEASE shoot me a message and give me advice. 

This blog began mostly as a foodie blog, but it has turned into a few other things.  I'd like to make a distinct seperation within my blog for the things I would like to talk about so it doesnt seem so random.  I will do some linky link-ups to make my blog flow better and direct you to previous topics.    Overall I just want it to look nicer and flow better.

Meanwhile, here is my life in a minute:

I finished my third semester with an A in one class and probably a B in the other, We are getting the boot for the second time in 8 months because of owner foreclosure and will have to find a new place to live yet again and even though we want to buy I am not sure if we will be able to, I dislike my job very much and want nothing more than to get a job in a different field yet I stick with it because it pays well and its usually pretty easy, My husband and I got a Kitchenaid mixer (more on that later) and it has become a fixed appliance in our kitchen and it helped me to successfully make good dinner rolls for the first time ever, I have a to do list a mile long of things to accomplish while on Christmas break, among these are create my own personal cookbook with all my tried and true recipes, clean my house, organize my finances, spend time with the kids, begin packing, and hopefully bust out the old sewing machine..whew, I'm tired just writing that.

Please stay tuned for my reveal and launch of the new Tales From a Misfit Housewife blog a couple of weeks away.  In the meantime.. tomorrow my bird hunting enthusiast husband is going to attempt to bring home some duck.  If I haven't learned many things, I have learned this... each bird brings its own challenges.  So this means I will have to learn to cook a duck.  Not to mention learning to eat them.  I have so far loved all the different kinds he has brought home; hungarian partridge, quail, dove, pheasant and chukar, so next up will be duck and geese.  Results to follow at some point.
