Corn On The Cob or Cupcakes?

It's a Cupcake! I know, Cute!

As many of you know, I enjoy baking.
I really like to make cupcakes.
I think my fascination started when I had my very first
Sprinkles Cupcake
and fell in love. It was moist, rich, the frosting was fabulous
and I loved the way they looked. So Chic!
Last year sometime I was in Barnes and Noble
and saw this adorable cookbook.
I didn't buy it right then but I
thought about it days and finally decided that I had to have it.

It's called Hello,Cupcake!

Isn't it so cute and very clever???
And yes, some are difficult but with practice and patience
anything is possibly, Right?
Well, after $40 bucks,
running around town trying to find
chocolate covered sunflower seeds and white circus peanuts,
(which I never found, so I had to use orange ones
and dip them in white chocolate)
tons of green frosting, and almost no sleep
(because I wanted my first attempt to be perfect)
I made the cutest little Bunny Holes.

(they are definitely not as cute as the picture
in the cookbook, but they're cute! If I do say so myself.)

After all of this, I have decided that I want to do
the whole Julie/Julia girl and make everything in the cookbook.
Only problem, it's going to take me forever
with there being several things for
Easter, Halloween and Christmas.
I can only make so many cupcakes
and with it costing as much as it did,
I would rather spend the money on shoes or something,
not cupcakes. (I am still trying to get in shape,
that many cupcakes would not be good for me)
That being said I am totally going to do this, it should be fun.
Maybe by the time I am done doing this I
will be ready to open my own Bakery/Cafe.
Now, that would be fun!

My, how time does fly...

I cannot believe that it has been almost been a year since my last update.

A lot has happened but nothing that is life changing,

that will be posted at once. Ha Ha Ha!

I turned 30, oh my gosh that was hard. I cried, I'll admit it . It was a lot more difficult then I excepted but at least I had Lindsay to do it with!

As I reflected on my twenties I realized that I didn't do half of the things I wanted or thought I would do. So I decided that

I would have my bucket list of things I want to accomplish

before I turn the dreaded age of 40.

This year I have made two goals.

First, I want to run a marathon by the end of the year. I don't know why,

I just want to be able to say I did it and it will help me

get into shape. So, I started to run 2 times a week in January.

For February I want to run 3 times a week and by March I want to

be running 4 times a week. By June I will be up to 6 times a week and be right

on my way to that goal.

My Second goal is to write my first novel. It is something that

I have always wanted to do so this is the year.

I haven't decided what it will be about but probably the ups and

downs of a single hairstylist with a little bit of mystery, drama, romances and of coarse a happy ending! We'll see. If you have any ideas let me know.

So, as the year progresses and I progress with my

goals I will update my blog more often.

Promise!

SAN FRANCISCO

I went to San Francisco in March for 24 hours! Not enough time for this great city.

I did however get to see everything that I was hoping to see.

The deYoung Museum was amazing and I wish I had an entire day there, it was the reason we went and I don't think we saw half of it. There was an awesome Andy Warhol Collection that was very inspiring, he was very talented but

the real reason we were there was to see a Yves Saint Laurent Collection.

It had some of his early work from when he designed for Dior.

It was amazing!

The whole city was Beautiful. I would love to go back one day when I can stay longer then 24 hours, even though it was a short amount of time. It was well worth every minute.

October Updates!

Wow, it's been awhile since I have blogged. October seemed to be a busy month. I went to Disneyland with my mom, my sister and her 3 kids, it was so fun but I have decided I'm not ready for children. Everytime I would walk away with Camden, who is almost 3, he would start crying out "Help Me" it was awful, It looked like I was kidnapping him, but all he wanted was his Mama, which is adorable so i couldn't do anything but laugh! A week after Disneyland I went to BOSTON, my new happiest place on earth! I loved it there, I want to live there, but probably never will! Boston was better then I ever thought it would be, I always assumed it was like New York, but it wasn't anything like it. I love it. I have tons of pictures but none of them are off my camera yet, hopefully I can post some soon!
