oh my word...it's thursday!!! eek!

i'm quite excited to be venturing home today, i know i spoke of my excitement in my prior post...but i just wanted to take this opportunity to remind you.

i got out of work early today because there was nothing left to do...my boss was probably a little shocked at my excitement and exclaiming, "that's fabulous!!"

despite the dreariness that meets your eyes when you glance out the window...i feel it...it's gonna be a good day.

i've found myself quite distracted this week.

not with the normal emotional toil that i put myself through, but with baking.

i've been finding so many new baking blogs and new recipes...i'm overflowing!!!

i cannot wait to try them all out....people just don't seem to understand my excitement when i giggle over seeing a beautifully decorated cupcake or fabulously random combination of a cookie.

thoughts have even been rushing through my head along the lines of ...maybe i could just drop out of school and open my bakery now...you see it just poses a problem when i want to bake all these things and i don't want to eat them...because as much as i love to bake, i don't truly enjoy eating the baked goods, i just love sharing them with others...oofff...i just get so excited when i think of all the possibilities...

let me just share with you some of the recipes i'm intrigued by:

zucchini, cranberry, walnut & white chip cookies

vegan gingerbread muffins

bailey's irish cream cupcakes

pomegranate-green tea cupcakes

pink lemonade frosting...

baking ... it brings me so much joy... i think it may be my spiritual gift, and a way that i worship my creator. he's given me this passion for baking...and i can share it with others, while sharing conversations and walking through life with them...so many images of future dreams pop into my head when i think of baking...and someday having my own bakery...

if you ever need a pick-me-up in the form of a cupcake, muffin, cookie, or just licking the batter out of the bowl..let me know, we can spend an afternoon together...baking
