It may not all be on recipes since I like to talk about other things too! I am sitting here in front of 2 computers. My brother was uspposed to come and transfer the info from the one to the other so I could just use one, but since we is off on a trip, I have to make due! I keep wondering if I could figure it out myself, do you think I can?

I am really excited as when I had my birthday, I always get a little bit of birthday money. Last night I found 5 books that I have been looking for! They are rare books that are hard to find and usually whenever I have found them, they are priced far above what I can pay! I am so excited as they are on their way!!! I know, it may not be exciting to those of you who do not collect books, but hey, I am going to have a shelf of books that I prize highly! I may even think about grabbing them in case of a fire.....

We made only about 200 raviolis this year, it ended up okay, but I think we are going to work next year on making more. It was really different having Christmas with family around. I am not a big noise, huge family gathering person, I need to be able to have a place to run to. I ended up going with my cousin to change the baby and sitting in the quiet for awhile. New Year's is almost here and I am wondering what to do. Hopefully, we can have a nice time, if no one wants to with me, we will have a nice time right here as a family. I have all these memories of New Year's, maybe because it was the nicest time of the year when everyone was happy before, when they were not the other parts of the year, I don't know, but I miss them!
