bakin'

[fflo]

Just back from the International No Diet Day bake sale for NOLOSE across from the farmers' market this morning. About to head out for Kentucky Derby party.

I realized as I was making cookies last night that they were the first I baked in something like TEN YEARS. That is to say, the last time I made cookies before yesterday, at least most of the following were true:

upsidedownblue hadn't yet kissed a boy;
pijeanf still lived on the other side of the continental divide (and maybe even in CA);
vjsmom worked at the Archives & wouldn't have a kid for another five years;
homovegetarian was still working on her B.A.;
infinitepresent and elmur_fudd hadn't been through the third grade;
sprig5 and I hadn't even met yet.

In other words, it'd been a long time since I'd made cookies.

What else was true over ten years ago?

Ten Years Ago ...

[groovesinorbit]

I'd been in CO for less than a year.

I had 5 cats, only one of whom I have now.

R&I owned our home, which we don't anymore.

I was unemployed, soon to be hired at the bakery.

There was 10 feet of snow on the ground that wouldn't completely melt until July. Welcome to Colorado.

Speaking as a homeowner whose circumstances changed rather unexpectedly, maybe it's not always such a bad thing to go back to renting. (Especially to have a place like yours.)

No, it's not always a bad thing. Less responsibility is always good. I'll be glad when we have our own place again, though.
