I’m finally making an update to my blog. This is long over due. Normally, I would say that I haven’t had anything to blog about, but that is not true. I guess it just hasn’t been a priority. I am dictating this post to my iPhone using Dragon. When I get inspired to write stuff , I’m usually on the bus or in the car and so by the time I get home, I have forgotten about it or something else needs to be done. I’ll stop now and upload this and see how it works.

This was really tweaked- but at least it helped me to get started. I’ll do a sample post later and not edit it to let you see how it did.

Urgh, I just previewed the post and remember how bad I needed to upload the header with my own pictures (just like Lynn) and I actually took some over the Christmas break and edited them- but never got around to posting them.

Here are the cupcakes I made tonight!!

I saw just a post on BakingBites.com telling how what she got for Christmas. I just commented and it reminded me that I need to get back into doing this.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday. Most people go back to work tomorrow, but my husband and I decided that we wanted to take off work tomorrow too, so we have one more day off work.

Once again, I received way too much for Christmas. Our family (it’s large because it’s a very branch-y family tree) goes bananas! My husband surprised me with a Nintendo Wii and Mario game, my mom got me some kitchen stuff, earrings, and some cash. My step-mom’s family got me running, sewing, and kitchen stuff. My in-laws got me running and baking stuff! Way too generous!

This year I really used the Amazon Wish List and told 3 families about it. I got one duplicate because people don’t realize that if you don’t buy it from Amazon, you can still click an option that says something about purchasing it somewhere else. But all in all, it worked really well. People had ideas of what to get for me and I got what I wanted for the most part. Win-Win, thanks Amazon.com!

I have been wanting to start my blog for months now, and almost did back in January. But I finally took the plunge and got everything set up this weekend (Thanks for the help B!)

A little about me and what I hope to accomplish on Practically Domestic:

I’m married, with no kids- I work full time and go to school (working on my MBA).

I enjoy crafts (scrap-booking, cross stitching) and baking. I love technology (Internet, twitter, and most recently- my iPhone) and traveling (the planning, the adventure, taking pictures, etc) . I also love finding and getting ‘good deals’ on anything- food, groceries, crafts, clothes. I hope to spread my knowledge and love for these topics and to connect with others who enjoy them too.

Thanks,

Erica
