only a month?

Dear me, has it only been a month since I last updated this journal? It feels like much longer. I've spent the last 2 days baking gingerbread and gingerbread cookies. I just mixed up a batch of a new recipe Robert found, and used my cuisinart for the first time ever. It was quite convenient; the butter actually looked sandy. Tomrrow is my birthday and I have to wake up in 7 hours to go hiking with my grandfather. Should be exciting.
