I "puffy heart" cake!

So I have a hobby... I decorate cake! I love doing it. But I try to avoid it because having cake in the house has been detrimental to my weight. I LOVE CAKE!!! If it is here, I will eat it.

So I have decided that I will feature some of my cakes on my blog. I will tell you what I like about them... and what I don't like. Often times, I really enjoy my cakes... but there is ALWAYS something that I can improve on.

So here is my 1st cake I would like to share...

So this cake was for a good friends son's 2nd Birthday. He LOVES cars. So I made a road out of chocolate. It was so easy!!! So what do I like???? Most of it actually...it is a cute boy cake. What I don't like... the Grass!!! It is a very easy techinque. But makes it very hard to "write" on. So I need to find a new way to do grass.... Or just do cakes that dont need "grass"

So my next cake will be for my daughters birthday party. She says she wants a HIPPO cake! Go figure.....now I have to figure out how to actually execute a hippo cake.... Time to search high and low on the internet.

OK, I don't need Drama

So I realized that I don't reallty need drama in my life...lol I like things nice and calm.

Things have been a but hectic latley. No time for ME.

I can either wallow in my own self pity or I can take control of my own life and be ME. I am going to make time for ME. And enjoy who I am. I am going to work on myself.

I am going to embrace the love that is in my life and be grateful that I have it. I am going to be more understanding when I am not the center of his attention. He is doing something to better his life and our family. He is being a strong man. He loves me for who I am and I am happy to call him my husband. Finding the love of your life isn't easy. And I am blessed to have found him.

So I choose Me. And I choose Him. And I choose US...together!!!

Need some DRAMA!

My life is very drama free. So Drama Free infact that it is downright boring. Not that I should complain about boring, but I am. I want something exciting to happen. But not life altering exciting. So what is it I really want? Not sure... maybe for someone to have a baby. Or get married.

I need a project!

Home Sick!

So I am home sick today. I hate being sick. But I like being home. I really love the idea of being home. I love the idea of being able to "play"house. But unfortunatly, I am not able to stay home. Not if I wanna maintain my current lifestyle.

My daughter would have to give up things that I would NEVER want her to do without. Dance class would be out of the question. Private school would be gone. The weekly shopping trip would have to come to an end. All things that I am not willing to make her give up.

So I will spend my day at home sick.... go back to work tomorrow.:)

Loosing my mind

I don't like to work. Actually I think it is that I just don't like to sit and be bored all day. My job is boring. I spend most of my time surfing the Internet. And you can only surf for so long before you loose your mind.

A dear Friend!

I have a very dear friend, someone who I consider to be my very bestest friend in the world. I am grateful for her friendship. I look forward to sharing emails and texts with her everyday. There isn't a day goes by that we don't "talk".

I just want her to know that I LUB her and always think about her. She is strong and independent. She is brave yet cautious. She has shown me so much about life. She truly cares about others. She is the most generous person I know.

Just wanted to let her know that she will never be alone in life. Keep smiling:)

Living thru the pain!

For as long as I can remember I have suffered some sort of chronic pain. 99% of it steams from my back hurting. Which, I am sure is related to the fact that I have worn a D cup to a DD cup bra for 18 years. And now my body is suffering the consequences.

I have grooves in my shoulders from the bra straps, I have buldging disks in my neck from the pulling, I have intense pain down my leg from the nerve that is pinched in my lower back. I am not sure how much more pain I can take. It is intense. It is debilitating. It affects my everyday life in a very profound way. I can not bend over to hug my daughter, she has to come to my level. I can not lean up to hug my husband, he has to come to my level.

I am finding that NOTHING takes away the pain. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING helps. Advil doesn't touch the pain. Vicodin barely numbs it. So what is the answer? Live with it? I am not sure I can.
