Oh, alright!

So, Sara tagged me and although I usually ignore tags and email forwards, I am doing this for my beloved sister.


25 Things You May (or may not) Know About Me

-From a very young age, I wanted to be a lawyer when I grew up, (I love to argue!)

-During the day, when I'm at home, I listen to Power Ballads on the computer.

-I almost physically fought a woman at the Outback Steakhouse who made a nasty remark about me changing my baby's diaper in the restroom (that ****!)

-Anyone close to me has called me Breezy at some point.

-I'm a lifelong procrastinator. I hate that about me.

-NOTHING scares me like cockroaches. I still have nightmares about them, on occasion.

-I fell in love with split-pea soup as a child at my Grandma's house.

-My Freshman year, I was the Editor of the school magazine, captain of the cheer squad, a member of Student Council and had a 4.2 GPA. Now, my daughter says that when she grows up, she wants to do "nothing" like mom. Where did I go wrong?!

-When I was little, I would cry when kids stepped on ants.

-Diet cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper has become like a hot fudge sundae for me.

Lazy days at the cabin

Sanity

Sometimes, I have these brilliant ideas. My life feels a little mundane and I frankly just get bored. And then it happens! I should start a new hobby! This time it was cake decorating. So I took some basic classes in buttercream and fondant decorating and I now force myself to sign up to bring dessert for every church and school function. That's how I got pulled into this one. Cade and Phoebe's school was looking for cake donations for their auction and without a second thought, I signed my name. I thought about this stinkin' cake for 2 weeks! I decided to tie in the school's colors of purple and teal and their mascot, which is a coyote. I also try to avoid fondant at all costs. Yuck! Although, over the next few months I do want to try some fun things that you can only do with fondant. But, my problems have changed. Now, I have something to keep me busy, but, my kitchen is a mess and these dang cakes stress me out! One day, I'll just be satisfied with life as is and not try to fill my days with random "busy" work (school term).
