OK, time to pull out the pom poms, I have a project and I need reinforcements!!OK, task at hand is totally overhauling my recipe collection, organizing it in a saner way, etc. Those that come out Saturday will see what I'm tackling and I'll have a deadline to show progress by.
It's time to pick another cleaning project, daunting task, whatever. This is to gather moral support and also to be a place that gives us a boost because we will feel the need to check back with progress, which is exactly what I need!!
Who's with me??
How can I help cheer you on??
Yes, I know the person who's hands these are, and no, they're not mine.
All I can say is that is it a product of making Mounds Balls, Mmm Mmm!!
Let's do this!!!

I'm heading to bed, I'm just not feeling the love, sniff sniff...
I will check in tomorrow, in hopes of finding at least one brave soul to keep me prodding along, if not, at least one decent cheerleader :)
nite guys...
It's summer. I don't want to do anything cleaning/organizing/daunting related.
But I will cheer you on: Rah, rah, rah, sis, boom, bah, organize your recipes, rah, rah, rah!
Hey lizardmom,don't feel so down. You are one of the hardest working ladies I have ever known. Working full time,taking care of kids and lizards and still finding time to plan a picnic. You're awesome!
Thanks guys, now I feel like I can do anything :)
Most of my recipes are sentimental keepsakes from my mom or grandma. The best "cooking" happens when I start throwing things into the pot. Some stuff, especially baked items, I do follow a recipe.
I've found the easiest way is to get a regular recipe card file and index cards and copy the things you know you make that you need a recipe for. The rest of the stuff, just stuff into a box or drawer (you probably won't ever use them anyway)
Good luck. I agree with orbs. Summer is for fun stuff or little projects. The long winter can be used for more serious diversions.
Hey ... I will cheer you on too!!!
Right now, I have too much going on to commit to a major project. It's less than 10 days until Italian Fest, and then we have our church festival! But as soon as those two things are over ... I have some projects in the house that need to be tackled.
Kick booty on that recipe collection :)
Lizardmom, you should computerize your recipe collection. Then, when your computer screws up like they always do, you can start all over from scratch again.
this is a project that I should have started in the fall. I DID start then, I found a box and threw everything in it and hid it in the corner.....
it was still there recently, and was a constant reminder that I have to conquer it, so here I am.
The upside is that I have a bad heel spur (ok, I never thought I'd say that was a good thing....) and doing this keeps me off my foot.
Tomorrow I get another cortisone injection, so I will sit here at my desk with my foot up and see what I can accomplish. That is actually how it started, I needed a productive way to SIT and stay put, and this was it....... I am seeing awesome progress, thanks guys!!!!
More updates to come :)
Orbs, I once tried putting it on the computer but there are days the computer and I ARE NOT FRIENDS.. and I didn't want them held hostage :)~ If it counts tho, I'm typing them on the computer and printing them out, see what you think Saturday!
Well, my goal is to get my talks together by Saturday for a meeting I have to attend! Not sure how much more motivation I need for that!
hale-bopp, you can practice on us :)
Have you heard of TasteBook? You can make a recipe book with all of your recipes. They also have tons of recipes you can look through and add from their collections. Then you can create your own book. If other people are interested they can buy your book too. It looks pretty neat. I have thought about creating one for my website but I am way too busy right now.

This is a project that will take alot of time and patience but I do see progress everyday, tho i wish it would go faster. I do see a system coming into play, which is cool.
I also am much more selective and dumping more of the recipes, since I am typing most of them in myself...
I'm off to see what I can get done before tomorrow!!
ok, the kids were gone all week and I got alot of other things done with all the peace and quiet around here, this week it's back to work on it, I have a timeline, the youngest has a sleepover party Friday night, so I need to get it in gear and at least finish the 2 books I have!! wish me luck!
