[the kropfs]

i probably should have prefaced my last post by saying that i honestly wasn't fishing for compliments. as i reread it, it sounds a bit like i was walking into a room saying "do you like my new shirt?! VALIDATE ME." anyway, thank you for your sweet words. i was simply trying to say that i think we all feel inadequate at times, and as several of you said in your comments, the challenge is to find ways to use our insecurities, imperfections, and inadequacies to become better rather than allowing them to make us despair.

i am hosting dinner for my family this sunday. my grandparents will be joining, and talk about nerves. you can't prepare enough for having the two most OCD women in the world over for dinner in one little, dirty house. at the same time. oy. and they are both excellent cooks; what do you cook for them? a trusty pioneer woman recipe, of course. she promises that drip beef means scrumptious. crowd pleasing. yummy. i made it once before and it was all of those things. don't fail me now, pioneer woman.

happy friday! image found here
