Two posts in two days! What is the world coming to!! Ok, so last night I baked a cake FROM SCRATCH so I really wanted to post pictures of it. Check it out!
I have never baked a cake (from nothing that is...i can do the box thing) so I thought why the hell not. See, I have a lot more free time now that I'm not a booze hound. A year ago I was drinking pretty much every day going out every night and it was ridiculous....although that is how i met halfjack who ironically enough made me quit while I fought him to the bitter end. (Thank you. I'm so much happier sober). So back to my delicious cake story.... last night I was sitting and I thought, "I should read a book. I need to learn something." and then all of a sudden I had this epiphany that I don't have to be learning out of books constantly and who said baking a cake isn't learning something. So I drove in a storm (yum. i heart thunderstorms), bought all the necessities, made lasagna and a cake while watching the lightening flash outside my back deck. My bro was chilling with my boy playing zelda in the other room and everything just felt right. It was one of those infinite moments....I honestly felt timeless.
I guess I'm learning some new rhythms. So here is a list of things I have changed about myself or learned just in one years time. A little reflecting..........
1. Obviously I baked a cake from scratch (first time eva!)
2. I ran a mile and half this morning and did pilates.
3. I'm not a shitfaced drunk....infact a glass of wine does me in and i HATE the way i feel (but I do slip up time to time when I go out....i'm a work in progress).
4. I'm not as defensive as I used to be (in other words I won't jump your face if you say something I don't like....im still opinionated as all hell but not as, bitchy i guess)
5. I'm becoming a better partner in relationships.
6. Showing more emotion than a box.
7. I cook a lot now bc i'm poor and it is nice to know what is nourishing your body and I like making things for people.
8. Not letting my philosophies and ideals ruin/run my life. I can still be a feminist and bake a cake etc (this was really hard for me. I felt like helping out a fellow human being who was male would jeopardize my feminist ideals. I had to learn a balance....and i'm still learning it)
9. I have more self confidence in that I don't think people are constantly judging me but i still have a lot of work to do on this one.
10. I almost forgot this one but it is pretty damn important bc it is so hard for me. It's ok if I fuck up. I don't have to be right all the time. This also lended it's hand to my defensiveness so it is something I always need to keep in mind.
Off to self-defense and then to make t-shirts. It is freaking cold as hell here! Reflect and name at least one positive change you've made in a years time. I would love to hear it!
