Having a background in food, I enjoy it much more now that I don't have to do it for a living. It never was a dream of mine to pursue culinary arts, but it beat the alternative of working at WalMart and not learning a new skill.
All of my women friends work. I have no one to share anything with. It's sad. One friend and her husband spend hundreds for their sons to attend a program at the Y this summer, just so she can work and go to school online. They also have them in activities (good for the boys) which are not cheap, so I don't know if the pay-off is even worth it, financially. My son is with me and is getting to rest and enjoy his summer at home. (That was a bit off topic, but kind of goes with the artificial life I alluded to earlier.)
I remember when I was little and my mom would have the military wives over for lunch/potlucks or whatever. She would get dressed up and they’d come over in their heels and it was loud and smelled amazing, that mix of cologne and food. But the preparation and cleaning was intense! It kind of taught me how important it is to take care and make things nice for others. Us kids were brandished to a bedroom and we’d strain like crazy to hear what was going on but oh, the leftovers! It was all worth it in the end. It seemed like the happiest place on earth. I don’t know if anyone does that anymore but it was good.
Anyway, you’re doing a great job, much respect.
That sounds so lovely! Your story makes me think of mid-century decor, clothing, and make-up. I never lived through it, but it seems like a wonderful experience.
