I quit my super stressful job.
I miss it. Sometimes. When I'm feeling like I *might* be bored. Mostly, I just miss the people I worked with. The job? It kind of sucked. I am now a stay-at-home Mom. It's hard to suck at that. It's still stressful, but not nearly so much.
But, that means I have more time to BLOG! Yay! I know I'll never be famous from my blog, and most of my recipes probably won't turn out for anyone but me. Because that's my luck. Heck, half the time when I try to recreate them they don't turn out.
But my cakes? My cakes are always awesome. I'm seriously considering starting a gluten free cake business. Not sure how much of a market there is in our new city though. It's fairly small. Oh, and beautiful.
Oh, I'm sorry. Did I forget to mention that in addition to quiting my super stressful job I also moved? Yup, packed up the house, the kids and the dog, and moved 6 hours away from the only state I've ever lived in. Don't get me wrong, it was well worth the change! Lovely husband got a fabulous new job working for a great company that's been around for ages. Lots of growth potential, and gives me the oppurtunity to do what *I* want to do. And once I figure out what I want to be when I grow up, I'll do just that...
So, the new city. I won't post the name of it. I don't need some creepy internet stalker tracking me down, demanding I bake him an amazing gluten free cake or cupcakes. Nope, not this woman!
Yes. It is on a lake. A beautiful, huge, wonderful lake. That I can see from my gigantic living room window. I've never lived by a lake before, and therefore intend to be in awe of it for a very, very long time. I am so enthralled by this view, that I sometimes catch myself looking at it for an inordinate amount of time. I should probably stop doing that.
Oh, you might have noticed that I also mentioned that we got a dog! We adopted this lovely lady from animal control in Illinois. She was dumped on the side of the road. She's a great dog, and we are very happy to have her! But, just remember psycho internet cake seeking guy - she's very protective.
I promise, I will get back to baking. After all, the big one is in school full time now, and the little one loves to help (as previously noted). Since I have time, there's a lot I can stop buying now! Of course, in the last 2 years, gluten free snacks have progressed from tolerable to outright amazing. Have you tried the ice cream cones?? I can't remember off hand who the maker is, but they are fantastic! A little dairy free ice cream and, voila. An ice cream cone that is better than the 'real' thing - because it. is. awesome. And MY KID can eat it.
And that is what matters.
