Introduction

Welcome to my blog!  My name is Cynthia...obviously. 

I have finally made it to the food blogger nation and this is my first post in virtual reality land.  Yeah!  But, I'm a bit nervous.  I haven't blogged in almost 3 years.  And when I did blog, it was about topics such as infertility.  Yuck!  Thankfully, that storm cloud has passed over and I'm on a new journey.  I hope that I can strike up a ton of friendships and learn new things...from you guys! 

This blog is intended for me to share my journey in the kitchen with you, but there will be other topics of discussion such as "the hubs," adoption, work inside and outside the home, fashion, music, entertainment and whatever else may be on my mind...or yours!

A little bit of history for you!  I lived in Texas for 30 years, so I'm a Texan at heart.  My husband received a job offer from a company in Louisiana in 2005, so we packed our house, cat, dog, suitcases and whatever else we could find and moved.  And now we reside in northwestern Louisiana.  My husband is a Civil Engineering major at Louisiana Tech University.  He is almost through with his bachelor's degree.  C'mon Spring 2013!  Then he will be working towards his P.E. license (Professional Engineering license) which will allow him to run calculations and stamp drawings saying that the structures are safe and won't fail.  No pressure!  I have no idea what this field of study really entails, I just try to make it sound good.  :-/  I work at the same company that my husband works, but I'm in the accounting department.  And every day after what seems like a billion numbers have swirled through this crazy head of mine, I sit back and dream of things that I want to do such as restoring our 1940s Craftsman-style home, owning land whether it's timberland, an orchard or vineyard, adopting a child or two, finishing my degree just like "the hubs," finish a screenplay that I started over 3 years ago, starting my own business (not sure what this business is going to be, but it's gonna be somethin' sweet!), and just in general do things that help me enjoy my day.  Right now I'm daydreaming that someone will give me a neck massage.  Badly.

Anywho, life is moving along at a reasonably fast pace right now.  It may get a little hectic in our household,  but there will be plenty of time to share that with you guys.

Take care and talk to you soon!
