the neglectful blogger

i am always thinking of things to write about, in fact before i started a blog i had a list of things i wanted to talk about. it's like the minute i hit the create button my mind cleared of any meaningful thing i wanted to say.

i need to make the effort, because even if what i say isn't interesting to other people, someday it will be a recorded history for myself. and that is important.

so i've been thinking of several new topics....ranging from new years resolutions (mine is officially learning to knit) to reconnecting with old friends (hello, facebook). i even thought about starting to blog about exercising, the thought being that if someone, anyone, was reading about it i would be more accountable and follow through. then i got into the pool and nearly choked and died and thought, what a short entry! i am working at the more movement in my life part, but you don't get to read about it yet! and i am going to learn to knit, i found the place that's going to teach me, all i need to to is show up!

so what does that leave? besides my kid, or dogs, and if you ever talk to me your sure to hear about one or the other....and while i value the importance of recording a child's life, i do it in pictures more than words.

ok so that leaves us with?

cupcakes.

my dream is shared with my friend (best? dear? good? who cares, right?) tia. it is a simple dream.

people should not have to be forced to eat that white/chocolate processed thing they call a cupcake from the local supermarket bakery. if i'm going use my caloric intake on cake i want it to be something i remember. an actual flavor. not just white mush that coats my teeth in sugar and i feel guilt for eating the rest of the day. i want a flavor that stands out, that i recognize, that i crave again and again. and hopefully, something people will want to tell other people about, and share with their family and friends.

obviously the ideal plan would include quitting our jobs, renting some space in a prime location, and selling out on the first day we open, and every day after that, therefore securing our financial futures. i know, right? not gonna happen. then it came to a good friend of mine while she showered (i love to be in peoples thoughts while they shower)....something online. catering to any event with a set menu of flavors, ordered in advance and delivered by us to them, at a fraction of the price the fancy cupcakeries charge, but still with amazing flavors. what a perfect place to jump in! so, as of right now we are searching out the perfect domain name, and i am signing up for cake decorating, and thoughts and ideas are getting tossed around like crazy. this weekend tia is planning to make the best ever lemon cake and i will be delivering nutella frosting with a little cake underneath to my favorite mamatobe.
who knows if it will work out in the end, but i have to try, right?
