Real Life Update

It's been a REALLY long time since I stopped in here to write. Yes I'm still cooking, baking and all that fun stuff but because of real life, it's been harder and harder to get here to write about it.

Most recently, with all the holidays/birthday/anniversaries on top of every thing, I ended up in the emergency room the last week of November... I was in overwhelming pain in my tummy. Turns out I needed to have my gallbladder removed and like NOW type situation. It also ended up that I had a stone blocking the duct between the gallbladder and the tummy causing the bile to backup and get into my blood stream and that caused me to become very ill... hurting my liver and causing me to turn yellow even.

Well it's now about 8weeks post op and I'm feeling great. Still following my gluten free diet and have finally gotten mostly off the really low fat diet that I had to go on for 4-6weeks. I'm also back to lifting every thing I could before the surgery (was on a 5kilo (10pound) weight restriction and that was driving me nuts!

So with all that and holidays and birthdays AND anniversaries all at the end of the year, I just haven't had time to enjoy all the cooking and baking I normally would. Now on top of it the weekend before this, the oven part of my stove up and quit on me. And JUST as I found some really good crust to make for pizza again!!! I'm so pissed! Hopefully tomorrow they will figure out what is wrong with and fix it, if they don't, you better believe I will be bitching them out to get me a new one! I need my oven! Hell, even my freezers are now full of things I need to bake not fry :( I still have my stove top at least but *sigh* I can't make dessert with just a stove top alone.

So, when things settle and the dust is cleared, I'll be back here with some new recipes!
