Let me preface this post by saying: I am *the* worst baked good decorator on the planet. I think it's a lot of fun, but I just don't have that skill. I can barely icing a cupcake without it looking it like someone smushed it on the floor. Second disclaimer: This cake is completely egg/dairy … Continue reading My First Decorated Cake That Looked Like It Was Supposed To
Last week, I started creating the habit of becoming an early riser, specifically getting up at 5am. I have to admit I'm so jealous of the people who told me that they have no problems getting up, or that they simply cannot sleep past 5. Wow, I'm really hoping I catch on to that. So … Continue reading Becoming an Early Riser — Week One Recap
I've always been a night person, and have had the worst sleeping habits. Until this past year, I've needed a tv to fall asleep. My mind would run and run, usually about the least important things, and in turn that would keep me up later than I should be.

This leaves me with a terrible dilemma of not letting all of these cute, compassionate mailing labels go to waste! Here's where you come in: I want to send out cards/notes/whatever to use up my labels (before I … Continue reading Looking for Pen Pals!
We bought something this weekend... Okay, not just the gazebo...but the house that it comes with! And since it's an older house and needs some remodeling, my first thought was "let's go to IKEA!" Since we were already in the Baltimore area, I persuaded the dude to take a detour to Trader Joe's since neither … Continue reading We Made A Tiny Purchase…
I must've done something right this past weekend because somehow I lost about 2 lbs and dropped to 18.8% body fat. I think it might just be one of those fluctuations that don't really matter because I'm not sure that I "earned" the fat loss. I made (and ate) brownies, had half of a beer, … Continue reading Weekend Wrap Up: Dropping Fat and My First Massage
I am proud of myself and of all of my accomplishments.
In honor of Valentine's Day, this week's mantra is about love: I love myself and all of my imperfections.
I will listen to my intuition.
