So today as I was driving in my car I caught a glimpse of a silver mylar balloon just floating in the air, and I thought oh god is that me, a balloon just drifing through the wind with no sense of direction. I mean get satisfaction from my job but there is still something missing in my life, a void, a hole, a missing puzzle piece that can't complete me. I know that last part was very Jerry Maguire-ish sounding, but, I've had the unfortunate pleasure of discovering new passions late in my life. As my 20s are drawing to a drastically quick close I'm afraid that I will one day wake up and it will dawn on me that I still haven't done anything great in my life. I've always wanted to be a writer and have attempted and failed many times at writing a childrens book. Why a children's book you ask, well I"m a teacher and it seemed only fitting that I write a book for children. Well all this aside, back to those newly discovered passions. My passion for cake. I know a bit Betty Crocker sounding but its true, I'm completely, utterly, head over heels in love with cake. I don't really know when I discovered said passion for cake. I'm a "closet" foodie that is bursting through the closet doors and announcing to the world or the 3 possible people reading this blog that I LOVE CAKE. I love baking cake, eating cake, smelling cake, serving cake. I'm an admirier of cake.
I'm also a huge fan of Martha Stewart whom is the queen of all things associated with today's modern overacheiving housewife and I long to be like her. I wish I was Martha's adoptive daughter and we spent hours in the kitchen baking as she revealed all her secrets to me specifically about cake. So in an attempt to one great thing in my life that I can say I finished in it's entirety I am going to take Martha Stewarts Cupcake Cookbook and bake every single one of her cupcakes by the time I turn 30 on March 1st, 2012. I'm sure my and my husbands waistlines will suffer but it will be small price to pay to honor the amazing Martha Stewart and feed my need to share cake with the people I love. I'm sure there will be kitchen disasters and emotional meltdowns associted with baking wonderful cake but that is what the internet is for, it's like having your own little reality tv show but in blog format. Happy reading and wish my luck.
