Time for a change and another update on Scott

Don't forget to enter my Giveaway and/or the Gift Exchange:
the deadline for the Blogoversary Giveaway is August 14th,
the deadline for the Gift Exchange is August 30th.

This morning I stepped on the scales and it shocked me: I weighed 104,0 kilos. Not good..... It's time for a change and another blog. I will use Minimizing Myself to write down everything I eat: the good, the bad and the ugly. I will still be posting the recipes here.

I will not quit all my online cooking/baking groups, as they provide me with relaxation: I enjoy baking too much and am not willing to give up this hobby. However I will limit myself to two recipes for Tuesdays with Dorie per month. MS: Cupcake Club is only monthly so that should be fine. I will try to 'ligthen up' the Barefoot Bloggers recipes as much as possible and pick healthy options for my Taste & Create. Craving Ellie in My Belly should be okay as we only make healthy recipes there.

Now for the update on Scott: during the stomach echo the vet discovered that Scott had no tumors! However his galblatter was enlarged as were the arteries around his liver. The vet took two biopsies from the liver, now I have to phone them Thursday for the results.

Changes.....

Everything changes, doesn't it??It's 2009 now.... Later this year (hopefully) I will turn 30. Time flies.... It goes by so fast! When I was just a little girl I always imagined myself to be married and have two kids by the time I turned 30. Well.... that didn't happen!!

Last year I celebrated New Years Eve with 2 friends, one of them had a boyfriend and the other one was single like me. Now both of them are in a serious relationship and one of them is planning on moving to another country within 2 years. Two other friends (a couple)moved into their new house around Christmas 2007 and now they're expecting a baby. I'm so happy for them!!

So here I am, turning 30 in 6 months, but no husband/boyfriend or kids in sight... Sometimes it makes me sad.... How different life can be from how we imagine it as kids! I do however have a job I love, my own appartment, a sweet dog and cat and great friends. So, not everything is terrible.

I try to find happiness in the small things and everything I have and not worry too much about the things that lack... Somedays this is easier to do than other days. So here's what made me happy today:

brotherly love between Scott and Senna, my dog and cat

when I got my cat almost 2,5 years ago my dad was convinced it wouldn't work:

he thought that Scott and Senna would fight all the time.

I'm glad these pictures proof him wrong!!!
