Baking a cake can be, well see below lol

So in an earlier post I told of making a homeade 3 layer red velvet cake, but wanted to touch on it again to talk about how not fun it was to make lol. I tried out my new mixer (word of advice test a new one out on something simple before trying anything like this cake). I put in my oil and sugar and left in on high to cream as I was putting all my dry ingredients together to sift. I should have looked closer before I tossed in the eggs and red food coloring because what I ended up with was lumps of red sugar and eggs haha! The dang mixer, on it's highest setting, wasn't enough to cream the sugar and oil. Needless to say I started over and used my old faithful mixer. Sure it doesn't have the nice stand and it can be cranky some days, but it's never let me down. So now what to do with the new mixer? Certainly not make cakes that's for sure. I'm sure it'd be great for mashed potatoes, so I'll keep it around for that, but that new mixer is grounded from any and all confectionary treats lol. As a side note the cake turned out delicious and beautiful. Well, dream a little dream of...cake my wacky little dreamers. Until next time, live, laugh, love and don't get upset if your sugar and oil doesn't cream :)

Better Day

Well feeling much more myself now, only took 2 days lol. So how's everyone else doing? I saw that the lottery is getting quite the hefty jackpot. Now I don't usually play, but I might have to. I already know exactly what I'd do if I won. One thing for sure is buy myself a home and buy homes for some family. But something I think would be really great to do with that kind of money is to put an article in the paper asking people to nominate friends, family, or even strangers that have fallen on hard times and need help. I would do it just for the county I live in to begin with. I'd take a million dollars and help out the people that were nominated that needed it most. It could be something as simple as paying off a student loan or buying a used car to the more complex stuff like paying off home loans or paying for someone to go to college. Just a little something to help people out and what better time then now. Then I would do the same thing for the county my hometown is...

How the world can change one person at a time

I decided yesterday after a long day of work that I didn't show the people I worked with how much I really appreciated them. So after a little thought I tapped on the office door of our HR person. I poked my head in and just told her how much I liked some flyers she had printed. The smile and the thank you I received told me she was glad to know her efforts weren't unnoticed. I walk away feeling pretty good. A trip to the grocery store led me to donate all the dollars I had on me to the empty stocking fund and then for a third "good deed" for the day....I offered a ride to a woman who had quite a few groceries and was riding a bike. She said it never fails someone offers a ride when I don't need one but when i do no one is to be found. I decided to make sure from now on to watch for her to make sure she did get a ride when she needed it. Are these giant leaps and bounds into saving the world? No, but they are small deeds that show others they aren't invisible ...

A decent saturday

All in all I've had a really nice day today. It was really great to get to spend the whole day with my hubby and enjoy each others company. I don't think I've laughed so much with him in awhile. It'a a good idea to take the time to reconnect and fuel that flame from the spark that brought two loners together. It's wonderful to have someone who is a compliment to your own personality. He keeps me level headed when I need it be because I spend alot of time in the clouds lol. And where sometimes I over think stuff searching for an answer he can step in look at the surface and give a simple applicable solution. Make it a point today and everyday to appreciate the one that loves you... the one that can say you are beautiful even when you are sick as a dog and feel like poo (i know he's lying but makes me feel better lol); the one who has been the reciever of your bad attitude when you have had a bad day; the one who, when the world is falling in around you, just hold...
