I saw your post about living in Utah ( I live in Utah as well) and not having friends here so you connect a lot through Facebook (if I didn't type what you meant I apologize, my memory isn't great). Anyhow, I went to see your profile to see if you had a blog or anything like that and YAY! You do! And I am looking at all 3 blogs (this one atm). After reading the above it made me feel sad that you feel like you don't fit in. I too am in Utah (northern Utah) and I feel the same way about feeling like I don't fit in, though I have lived here on and off at different times over the years. I've moved around most of my life and always found it extremely difficult to make friends as I am really shy, usually, and I have major social anxiety which makes it even more difficult for me to make friends and/or be social. Add onto that moving so much most of my life, Facebook seemed like a good fit for me, for a while anyways. It is 'fitting' less and less for me as many commented on the post on the 'Simply Gourmet' blog post. I don't know what made me comment here other than that I am in Utah and don't feel like I fit in either. By looking at your blogs (the two I have looked at so far) I am excited to get to know you even though it will be virtually. I love that you started running (that's on my bucket list...to work up to a marathon someday. I might be insane to even put that in type, though, as I have never really 'run'. I am more a walker/jogger sort of person.) I look forward to reading your previous posts (on the other blog) about running and such. As I am soooo far out of shape and have to actually 'decide' I will start walking/jogging again it may be a bit before I actually 'start' the process. But from what posts of yours I glanced/skimmed; I know you have a lot of wisdom, tips and wonderful information to share that will be helpful to me. This blog...well I love recipes, not so much the cooking part (I prefer baking) but I love trying new foods, seeing what recipes people come up with, basically to me I look at a cookbook like one would look at a catalog of fancy items that you can't afford and maybe never could obtain. I love the pictures, recipes, tidbits of information about the recipes, the sharing of family stories and how a recipe came down through generations, etc. It's not so much to me about actually making the recipe, but more the possibility. Idk if that makes sense or not but cooking/baking is a definite interest of mine. I will try to keep up with those 2 blogs for sure. I am going to wander off to look at your other blog now. I wish you the best with your blogs; life in Utah til you can return to California; may you kick butt with your running and races; and may you enjoy lots of yummy food, lots of laughter, much love and an abundance of happiness in your life. I hope you have a wonderful day today and a fabulous rest of your week! Sincerely, Sabrina 'Mippy' :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637165724682236611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2547600308770103056.post-16133237318403987042015-03-06T03:46:45.171-07:002015-03-06T03:46:45.171-07:00Wow, good for you!

As I leave a larger size behind for a smaller one, I donate it to charity. Now if I start gaining weight & clothes start to get snug, it gives me the motivation to really dig in & lose those pounds again because I am determined to not buy a bigger size ever again. I wish you lots of success with your journey!

School was so hard I remember having to take the SAT's and I tried reading those problems and felt my head spinning I ended up just filling in the dots without even trying.

Although I've never had any formal testing, I believe I too have pretty severe learning disabilities which were never diagnosed. I went through my entire schooling years feeling dumb and less than everyone else. My parents didn't know how to deal with my learning disabilities and from them, especially my dad, I was told I was dumb and that I wasn't using my head. To this day it's something I struggle with and something I've been trying to overcome. I push myself into areas where I'm the most uncomfortable in order to compensate, but that's not always the best place for me to be...so messed up. In any case, I really appreciate your post and feel closer to you now knowing that we have this in common. I have about a gazillion books on my nightstand at this point (all that I've only gotten a short way through) so adding another one is probably not the best idea for me. However, I'd like to read along with you. I'm torn, but I'm going to check what it's about on amazon. Thanks for the invite to read along.
