I Did It

I bit the bullet, swallowed my pride, and got a subscription to Good Housekeeping. I feel a little bit like a sell-out, like somehow this is a sign of me compromising on my intellect, my work-outside the home mentality. Not to say I don't completely admire traditional stay-at-home moms and wives. I completely do, because I have a very hard time believing I have the patience or fortitude to ever do it.

But I feel like me getting a Good Housekeeping Subscription in some way makes me less cool or something, or more likely to try to bake something, or craft something. Baking and crafting things are not my thing. Buying baked goods and crafts other people have made are my thing.

But I tell ya, on the plane ride back from Baltimore earlier this summer, I read through an entire Good Housekeeping magazine that someone left in my seat, and it was so good! Tons of valuable tips, and great articles, and fantastic recipes. While I don't enjoy the baking, I do enjoy the cooking, and the recipes were the type that you would actually use, not the type that you say you think you would use and then realize you never would.

All that said, I finally decided to swallow my pride and get the magazine.

There.

I said it.

I'm officially out of the closet.
