Its been awhile

I haven't made the time to post anything lately but a lot has been going on. I had an amazing Christmas! It was soo good to spend time with the family and just be lazy with my boyfriend. We literally didn't get out of our PJ's on Christmas Day, it was lovely!!
I am so thankful that December is almost over it has been a trying month, too much going on and not enough of the things that I need to be happening.
Don't get me wrong for the most part it has been good, lots of parties meeting new friends and reconnecting with some old ones but it has kind of been a run around in the world of web sales and that is frustrating.
OH well JANUARY is going to be AMAZING!!
I have so many wonderful things in the works not just when it comes to my career and I can't wait only a few more days and a trip to Lava Hot Springs and I am HOME FREE!!

Interesting thought...

Ok so I am not one of those that typically over uses terms of endearment, that I am aware of. I am not one to call you hun, babe, sweetheart, darling, pumpkin, sug, or any other pet type name. Just not my thing, so I am recently in a relationship with a guy who defiantly over uses said terms.
Sweetheart, babe, pumpkin probably flow from his mouth at least several dozen times a day. I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing but it does make for a weird transition. We do call each other babe, which is fine but he calls a lot of people babe.
So where do you differentiate? How do you make the distinction with a man who calls a waitress sweetheart??
I am befuddled... Which is of no consequence I am sure that I won't mention it to him and he isn't a blog reader so there should be no risk that my ramblings will ever reach his desktop.

I can't believe...

This month is passing my by entirely too quickly! It is shocking that Christmas is only a matter of days away. I am so not ready for the season but that isn't unusual. There is a lot to blog about to catch up on the goings on in my life but it doesn't seem like there is ever very much time to do so.
I will have to make some time later on this evening.
I hope everyone else is having a wonderful holiday season and is keeping warm! This December is already proving to be a COLD one!

CHAMPION!!

OH yes!! I am a champion!! I won the first annual Christmas Stroll Bake off!! HOOORAAYY!!
None of those other treats even had a chance! Cake bites were the best of the whole group and there was kind of a lot of contenders. Most that seemed a little yucky but I entered both chocolate cake bites and coconut macaroons (which got a pretty good 4th place 2 of the 6 judges didn't like or where allergic to coconut can't do much there)
It was a really fun night followed by a fun time in Lava Hot Springs the next day. All in all it was a really great weekend.

Oh New Meds...

How much do I love taking medication???... BLECH not at all!! I have been struggling with my acne ridden skin that thankfully has gotten a lot better but not where I would like it to be. So I went to the dermatologist yesterday and was put on something new. Well a few somethings new, which is fine but the possible side effects make the task of swallowing the unusually large pills more difficult than I would have hoped.

I have to admit I am excited for the results but this now means that I will be taking upwards of 6 pills a DAY!! That isn't counting the vitamins and supplements that I have brought into my world. I am not going to lie this will be a test of my will. But now that I have a new look with very short hair I do need to have my porcelain skin back.
Here is to hoping the side effects wont get me to badly and that I will be okay with this new cocktail!

Need a Pick Me UP

This week is going to get the best of me, it has been a roller coaster of emotions from devastation to elation I don't really know what to do with myself.
I am really happy with my life right now but I keep running into a few road blocks, I know that it will all work itself out but it is still stressful!
I know that today will be better I just have to keep telling myself that, I also have to make a ton of treats tonight for the X-mas stroll, not really ready for that when I say not really ready I mean not ready at all!!
Again it will all work out I am so thankful for the great people in my life and feel blessed to be where I am.
Thank you Julie for the great recipe (cake bites are so going to win the bake off) I am excited to see how the different flavors turn out!

Sad News

Last night my family got some sad news... My aunt was killed in a car accident it is very sad I don't really even have words. Keep the Buchanan's in your thoughts and prayers, it will be a long trip to Nebraska for my parents. I hate that the only times they get to go and visit is when something awful happens.
I am praying for peace and safe travels. Tell your family that you love them!!
