Big Move to the Boonies

My first blog. I’m creating it out of procrastination. I should be packing for a big move to the boonies, looking for a job, and working on two freelance projects. I tend to accomplish a lot when I’m putting things off. Procrastination also may be a huge part of my creative process. I’ve reorganized my pantry (to make it gluten-free friendly and otherwise), gone through closets and chests of drawers only to jam everything back in doubly jumbled, stared at friends on Facebook, looked up recipes for whatever my heart fancied, searched online for the best gluten-free versions of the foods and condiments I love (mayonnaise, pickles, chocolate gelato, cookies, breads, ketchup, soy sauce, rice milk, the list goes on and on and on), went grocery shopping, chopped veggies, roasted meats, made dips and soups and tortilla chips, baked cupcakes and brownies and flourless chocolate cakes… So, you see how this procrastination thing can be productive – with things other than my “real” responsibilities. Ah, I feel good. Just writing this has taken the edge off of my procrastination. I think I’ll go through my closet now. Not because I’m putting things off, but because I have to in order to pack for the big move to the boonies…
