a lotta baking

The tradition is set. Mixing, prepping, combining, pouring, more mixing, rolling out, baking, cooling, frosting and repeat. All until this holiday is over.....I don't mind so much. Jax and I put on the NEW MOON soundtrack (and if you're judging me I'll kill you) and baked away.....

Flash Back

When I spotted this vintage winter coat (hand made by my grandma) in my mom's closet it was as if time time stopped and the music came to a halt. I gently threw the wooly goodness over my shoulders and it fit like a glove.... the light in my eyes twinkled. It will be an addition to my wardrobe that could be dressed up for New Year's or down for an errand day yet still perfect over work dresses for all those long dreamy days I must go to my job. Weep, Weep. It is everything I want it to be and more, if my mom will let me have it.......

Bat For Lashes

...always a favorite.

Bag Life

Clearly I have been living out of a bag and have taken some time off blogging. I guess I've been running a small empire and without noticing I forgot to take care of myself. Depressing. boo hoo. weep weep. I've unpacked my bags at my sister's who couldn't be more of a rock for me right now. I think it's the winter un-wonderland outside. or the fact that it's dark when I awake and dark when I come home. Seasonal sadness, not sure but only sunshine can be on the way even if it takes months.

PS. I signed a lease for my own place today. We move in a month!

Frosting those memories

A list of things

I'm pretty sure I make a list per day. A proper list of to do's, a list of outfits I could wear, or a grocery list. What ever way you put it, I'm a list maker. I love reading lists about people’s favorite things and what makes them happy. On the flip side though, every once in a while you just need to vent. I'd say 9-12" of snow on the ground could be the reason I am on the flip of happy list making. Read on to see my list of ten little things that really tick me off.....

1. Finding the perfect spot to sit in a barely full theater to only have a 7' dude sit in the seat in front of you.
2. Hang nails and paper cuts.
3. Driving with only one lane cleared due to the snow storm of the year hitting on your birthday.
4. Waiting until you get to work to have your first cup of coffee only to get 2 or 3 drops.
5. Realizing that you have something lodged in between your two front teeth hours after you last ate and no one bothered to tell you
6. Having your iPod die on you minutes after turning it on and no where near a charger.
7. Splinters.
8. Scooping tons of snow off your car at 7:00 in the morning.
9. Choking on water in the middle of a meeting.
10. Sitting down to watch a show that you watch at the same time on the same day only to find out it’s canceled for a sporting event or something stupid like that.
