Welcome to my world

Not sure why I am doing this, I really don't consider myself a person who has much to write about that others would be interested in. If you are one of the 3 people that I expect will, then I welcome you.

Office of one refers to the fact that I have worked alone in a home office for just short of 10 years now. The first 8 were OK but the last 2... not so much. I have realized that other than my family and people at church I have withdrawn and pulled myself out of the social world. I figure I must not be the only one that is in this predicament. So I am reaching out to others who may find that their best friend is a small window that can be measured in pixels. Lunch is what you do in tiny bites all-day-long and you are the only person in the world that knows how many branches are on the the tree outside your window.

Over the next few days or months, I will try to share some of the things that I have learned that make home office life better, some of the things I know I should do different but haven't, and any other things I feel like sharing with the world.

So... since this is the first post I will share my first observation about working at home.

The two best months of the year are June and August. June because you have had a very quiet empty house all year and you look forward to school being out so there will be family around again. August because you have had a summer trying to work in a noisy house with family always there and you can't wait for them to go back to school. Today was the last day of school.

My Secret Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe


Set your oven to 350

Cream together the following:
2/3 c. Real Butter
1 c. Sugar
1/2 c. Brown Sugar
2 tsp. Vanilla
2 Large eggs. (not extra large)

In a different bowl blend the following:
2 1/2 c. Flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
3/4 tsp. Salt

Add the flour mixture to the other ingredients and mix until smooth and the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl (Add tiny scants of flour until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl) Add 1/2 package chocolate chips. (You can add more or less if wanted, and any other items you want)


Drop in about 1 1/2 inch balls on cookie sheet. (I use a pizza stone)
Bake at 350 for 12 min.

Also works well as one large cookie. Place on a pizza stone or sheet and flatten to about 1/2 in thick. Bake until golden brown on top.
