What Had Happened Was / 2016

So you know how sometimes you start a blog and write in it a lot and then suddenly just stop doing that for two and a half years? Yeah, me too. 

A lot happened during that time. I started a new position at work, became a beekeeper, learned to crochet and barely knit, helped build a house in a foreign country, got a pixie cut and grew out a pixie cut, added four new tattoos to my skin, let a piercing grow over and finally had one of those pears wrapped in gold foil from Harry and David. My name is the same and I still have a body that is 60% Mexican food instead of water. So there's that. 
I'll always come back to you, blog.
Partly because I hate talking.
I miss this blog. I miss writing. Since I claimed this space of the internet, I have revamped it many times - into a place for DIYs, a place for recipes, a place for humorous stories. I just couldn't settle on one thing. Blame it on my ADD, baby (the other 40% of me is made up of song lyrics that people stopped using conversationally a long time ago). Instead of settling on one thing, I'm going to settle on all of the things in 2016. Just what big time bloggers tell little time bloggers not to do. Does that put this space of the internet into "lifestyle blog" territory? Meh. Maybe. I kind of don't like the way that sounds. This will just be a blog about stuff and things. That's a category, right? Squirrel (see note above about ADD). 

Ready or not, here I come.

BTdubs...

A couple things:
1. Listen to the Joy the Baker podcast. It just made my Thursday much like it does every Thursday.
    *Joy the Baker Podcast featuring Joy the Baker and Tracy Benjamin.
    *Shout out to Kacey of Kacey's Kitchen for turning me on to JTB!


2. Here's a random photo of me (r) and Rainbow Heart Star (l). What does that mean? Check out the comments section of Episode 35 "My Legs Are Not Candy" of the JTB Podcast to find out. After you listen, of course.


3. I use Google Reader to keep up with the many, many blogs I love. I can’t tell you how goofily excited it makes me to see posts from my new blog in line with the great posts from the bloggers I follow. I’ll be sharing some of them with you along the way.

Red Velvet Props

Though a homemade, moister than is believable, richly frosted, tasty on the Grannie Whitfield level red velvet cake is my most favorite type of cake in the world, that's not what this post is about.

This post is about an e-course that helped me get my groove back. I have started and stopped more blogs than I am willing to admit. Last year I began following all sorts of new [to me] blogs. Among them, A Beautiful Mess. These great blogs made me yearn for my own online creative outlet again. One that I wouldn't quit. Que Blog Love. An e-course by Elsie Larson, writer of A Beautiful Mess/founder of Red Velvet
