Raising kids makes you realize that life lives you very often. Remember that line from Coal Miner's Daughter? Patsy Cline tells (I just had to google the name of the Coal Miner's Daughter!!!) Loretta Lynn she's letting her life live her. That happens to me and I have to stop and evaluate who I am and what I'm doing. Maybe it sounds Zen but then it doesn't seem like it is because its chaotic but it actually is quite Zen:) Oh. The cookies look good!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02298321698048045775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-56951089747653485752015-02-02T18:45:32.434-05:002015-02-02T18:45:32.434-05:00Mmm I'm allowed to not know what I want to be ...Mmm I'm allowed to not know what I want to be when I grow up but I guess unless you find the perfect job, you can always keep questioning it?<br />Haha I love that you describe this cookie as having an identity crisis :P<br /><br />Cheers<br />Choc Chip Uru Choc Chip Uru @ Go Bake Yourselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565188666150518885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-78117115195841576452015-02-02T15:13:21.953-05:002015-02-02T15:13:21.953-05:00I think it is good to be a cookie and crunchy at a...I think it is good to be a cookie and crunchy at any age:) Have a great week.Diane Zwanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322359690472197297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-43460375897637130982015-02-01T14:06:28.178-05:002015-02-01T14:06:28.178-05:00Dear Cher, absolutely wonderful post to read on a ...Dear Cher, absolutely wonderful post to read on a Sunday evening - I certainly envy you for your writing skills, I always do - but at the same time it is just a great feeling coming here for a visit, knowing that I will really enjoy reading through your post!

Maybe it's because we're close in age, but as someone who's super goal-oriented, it's tough when I look around and realize I'm just supposed to be living and enjoying the now. Geez, this is sounding like some sort of psych session instead of a blog comment about cooking. :) Anyway, who wouldn't want to be a croquant?!?KB from Prof Who Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948735277033941781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-33352655773629415292015-01-30T08:50:40.257-05:002015-01-30T08:50:40.257-05:00I must be a croquant, too!
