Good things come to those who wait

I got a new job this week after searching for 2 years. In those two years I went thru so many job interviews and nothing ever came of them. Then on a whim I replied to a job post on craigslist for a barista job. I go the job. I know that this was the job that was waiting for me and I know it was all in God's timing. I am learning that if I have patience and keep praying for him to do good things in my life I will be rewarded. The coffee shop is called The Coffee Exchange which is downtown Colorado springs and the owners are awesome. The atmosphere is chill, just what i need for a counter balance to Old C's. When things like this happen I keep believing more and more in the saying "Good things come to those who wait". Awesome.

Cake Pops

I was getting in the mood to bake and have been hearing about all different people making red velvet cake. So I decided to try it since I had never made it. Well the cupcakes did not turn out well, they over flowed the pan and then decided to sink. I was bummed like I always am when something doesn't turn out right, but then i thought about something I had heard while taking a cake decorating classes. Cake Pops. I didn't have any lollipop stick so decided to just make them into little balls with sprinkles. they turned out awesome. My sad turned into happy when I was done.

Crazy

I guess its true when they say your body will tell you when you just need to chill. The beginning of this week I felt a chest cold coming on. Well like usual I tried to ignore it and pretend I wasn't going to  get sick. Come Wed I felt like crap, so I ran the few errands that I had to, went to the library and got some movies and then just holed up in my room. After sleeping alot the last 1.5 days I feel much much better. That's all for now have a great weekend!!!

The beginning

Hi! I have started this new blog because on the other one i had so many expectations for myself that i never wrote on it. I am not sure what the future of the page will hold but I do want it to be a place that is a mixture of me. Like the title says I am just going to do me. Whatever that is. So some of the things I hope to post on here are my struggles with losing weight (which is a big thing for me), sharing craft projects, recipes, pictures and anything else I have to say. Also not sure if anyone is going to actually be following/reading any of my posts but its ok. If you are reading this and want to know something about me or have a random question for me to answer go ahead and comment and I will answer it as honestly as I can.

Here is a picture of the foot of hair that i donated to locks of love.
