The other night at work, I was on the floor with a broom and dust pan, my apron tucked under my knees and a babuska on my head and I said to my manager, "I feel like Cinderella."
"You look like her," she told me.
I miss my old prep cook job where I always worked with the food. But it wasn't enough hours to get us a house, and this job is. Only I don't get to cook all that much, and sometimes that makes me feel sad. Only I don't want to be sad.
So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm going to get back to my cookbooks, which lately, I've been way too pooped to do.
Too pooped I tell ya, just too pooped.
And on that note, it's time to get that babuska on my head and drive my butt to work. But then tomorrow I have off so who knows ... you might just see a food post.
See you Boogerbutts later.
Signed,
Your Friend,
Cinderella
Looking forward to it Cinders!
ReplyDeleteCook at home tomorrow - you'll feel better!
ReplyDeleteYou can't be Cinderella. You already have your prince. Go get them cookbooks done. I want one with lots of pictures in.
ReplyDeleteDid the mice help you with your chores?
ReplyDeleteHope you got a chance to cook -- food posts are great!
ReplyDelete(typo - should be "get a chance to cook") :)
ReplyDeleteIf the shoe fits wear it, Cinderella.
ReplyDeleteI don't follow this advice myself, but but you do have to follow your bliss, so it seems like the cookbooks are in that direction.
Looking forward to seeing what you've got "cooked" up in tomorrow's post! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you have that lovely new camera to take pictures of your delicious food for your cookbook!

Stacy: Me too. I'm hoping to play.
Suzan: That's partly why Tim got it for me. He's a good egg. Thanks for dropping in.
I like your food posts - except they always make me want whatever it is you've made :)
ReplyDeletemshatch: Thanks. I made peanut butter and chocolate scones today, but haven't written the post about it yet.
ReplyDeleteKeep thinking it's all for Cindy's Cool Crib...
ReplyDeleteHard work will pay off in the long run :D keep going girl, it's the only way to get ahead.
Kim: Honestly, when I get down about not cooking for my job, I do think about that house.
ReplyDeleteHelps a lot.
Oooh, peanut butter & chocolate scones sound yummy!
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't get much snow. I know how much you love it. It's just COLD here (25 deg this morning). I already miss the warm weather!
Sorry to hear that you don't get to cook much at work~ looking forward to hearing what you're cooking up at home, though!
ReplyDeleteStacy: I do enjoy the snow. Even more if I don't have to be anywhere.
ReplyDeleteJess: Thanks. When I first took the job I didn't realize just how little cooking I'd be doing. But ... the full-time is good.
Just gotta focus more on home cooking.
Loving your posts.....
