New post, no picture...and yay, my blog is still here...

Hi everyone. I had a close call of the "I lost my blog" variety today, but it appears that I have found it. Yes, I accidentally deleted my blog. I meant to delete a different blog, but deleted this one instead. All it takes a click of a button and then "are you sure you want to delete this blog" and there goes two (is it two now?) years of your life. I wasn't too upset actually. I had the entire contents in my google reader and was prepared to start over, but it is still a relief to have it back.

And no picture today. I did draw, but I did a sketch of a book illustration and because it is a "copy" of someone else's work, I'm not going to post it here. It is the most charming rhino and elephant having tea together. If you would like to see it, I can e-mail it to you. Just let me know...

As for no picture, if I had a drawing of bread in my archives, I would post it, but I have never felt compelled to draw bread. I am attempting my second loaf of chocolate bread tonight. The first one (last wed.'s loaf) burned on the white bread setting, so this time I tried the sweet bread setting. Keep your fingers crossed. I already had one loaf of bread fail today. I don't think I can handle another one. My earlier failure was a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread. I followed the directions to a T and the results were disastrous. I put the add-ins (raisins) in when the machine beeped after 20 minutes and they were supposed to be mixed in with the bread. Instead they stayed on top and only the bottom part of the bread baked. Very strange. What does that say about following directions? Do you suppose my bread machine is a rebel and doesn't like that type of exactitude?
