Hitting the Sauce

My first blog post!  I am no longer a blog virgin!  Oh my goodness, can you tell just by looking at me??

I decided to write this blog for a few reasons:

1.  To shut those up that keep asking me to start one!  I kid, I kid!  Those that suggested I start this blog are fabulous ladies and I am happy they pushed me to do it because without their encouragement, I don't know if I ever would have gotten around to it. 

2.  I've recently started making jewelry and would like to share that with my friends, get feedback and new ideas, and connect with others with the same interests.  I will also be making shoe clips.  Stay tuned for that!

3.  I love to cook and bake.  I also really love to eat.  Those that know me well know I have a thing for cake.   Well, maybe not so much of a "thing" but more like an obsession.  I think that might be a more appropriate description.  Cake is like crack for me.  I'm not one of those women who when at a party with cake (really, it's not a party unless there's cake), will ask for a small piece.  No, I want a big piece and preferrably, one of the corners.  The more frosting, the better.  And when I say frosting, I don't mean fondant.  Looks pretty but tastes like ass.  I'll eat it because it's cake, but I won't love it.  I got off on a tangent thinking of cake, but my point is similar to point 2 above, I want to share my creations with friends, get feedback and new ideas, and connect with others who love to cook and bake.

4.  Travelling the world is my life goal.  It's a big world and I want to see it all.  I've only scratched the surface so far.  But as I stated in my "About Me" section, I am a cheapskate.  If you think you cannot afford to travel, more than likely you are wrong.  It takes planning and most certainly takes being a cheapskate!  I will detail in later blogs how my Lover (aka my husband) and I have been able to take some of the trips we have taken for much less money than you would expect.

So there you have it.  This is what my blog is all about.  I've published my first blog.  I'm no longer a blog virgin.   Wait a minute, since I put out, shouldn't I have been at least taken to a nice dinner first???  I am a lady afterall!  Well, better luck next time I guess :)
