craft FAIL.

my standard weekday breakfast usually consists of one of the following: cereal and coffee, cereal and tea, oatmeal and coffee, oatmeal and tea, banana and coffee, banana and tea.  not a particularly exciting array of breakfast foods, but it does the trick, and i fill my foodie needs during other meals of the day.  however, for the last two three days, instead of my usual mundane regime, i have been eating chewy molasses cookies for breakfast instead. with coffee, of course.

you could say that i'm eating my feelings.  or just eating my craft.  either way, please don't judge me. too much.

since moving here, i've felt a little off, due to all the chaos, and everything else that comes to adjusting to a new city and home.  i still reach for the trash can under the kitchen sink, even though we no longer keep the trash can there.  i still look up the weather by our old houston zipcode before remembering that we're living in a city that's about 40 degrees colder.  most importantly and most disasterously though, is that my craft skills have been...unskilled.  generally speaking, i lump baking and crafting together under crafts (and often cooking too).  i am not that frequent of a baker, but i have always enjoyed it, and usually i am met with fairly successful results.  being sans-job and the apartment being mostly useable space, i decided to embrace my kitchenaid mixer a little more often.  i've been met with mediocre results.   the same thing has occurred with my crafts, things i have been working on haven't quite turned out the way i've hoped (remember the baby shoes?), even projects that should have been easy.
