Holy crap, you guys, I am exhausted. 2010 is nuts, am I right? It’s been a rollercoaster, for me at least. I had a job, then I had no job, now I kind of have a job again; I had internet, then I had no internet, then I got internet again; had a website, let it lapse, realized that was a bad idea; my generally nonexistent love life had a little uptick and then a little crash&burn situation; my friends keep getting engaged/married/knocked up; and folks keep telling other folks how delicious my cakes are, and then those other folks keep asking me for cakes! OK, I can’t really complain about that part, you know how I love making cakes. I’m just trying to keep up with job/life/money/responsibilities/balance. Trying to bake for joy and extra cash, trying to make my job fit my goals, trying to plan for the future, trying to squeeze in some quilting now and then, and trying to maintain my relationships with friends and family, because sometimes that’s all you’ve got. And I’m exhausted. Like I said before.

Anyway, I didn’t mean to leave y’all in the lurch for a while there, but life happens. I’m going to try and be better. I think we’re just all doing the best we can though, no?

If this sounds like a debbie downer post, please take it with a grain of salt. I know life is great. I have the most wonderful friends and family who are there for me through thick and thin. I have a roof over my head, shoes on my feet, and food on the table. I have more now in my “lean” time than most of the world will have in their richest days, and mostly I’m just a big old american whiner with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement. But you know, sometimes you just have to air all your grievances and then get on with your life – so grievances aired; I’m moving on.

Thanks for being patient with me
