This and that


I am a bake-aholic. I find recipes and want to try them. These are iced pink lemonade cookies. So yummy and decadent!




This little gem is blue velvet cupcakes. Just like the red ones, but with a tiny amount (less than called for) of blue gel food coloring. My goal is to one day open my own bakery.

Headed back...

to school!

I am so excited about this! I just filled out my FAFSA for the first time by myself. I dreaded it because I thought it would be hard. But it was really easy! Plus, the IRS made it easy by being able to link my info from them to my FAFSA.

This is the right direction for me.

This wasn't my first choice in schools. In fact, I hadn't even considered it until 2 weeks ago. My first choice rejected me. I was upset for a bit that afternoon, and then I realized that I had other options. So I contacted another school, asked to set up a meeting for yesterday. In the meantime, I applied at another school, finally sent them my transcripts, etc. I cancelled the meeting at the first school, because I didn't want to go there. It was just another option. And then I found out I got into the second school today. Things have a way of working themselves out.

I just have to remember to have patience, and to always believe in myself. Sometimes it's hard to do, but it's getting easier because people are actually believing in me.
