My Steamboat Willie!

Vanilla cupcake and buttercream frosting. One of my favorites, I've near perfected the recipe but this is the first time I've put fondant on made from scratch cupcakes. So, here it is! My Steamboat Willie... the start of something AMAZING!

Hope the co-workers like them. ;)

Novelty

I think one of my favorite words in the english language is "Novelty."

Think about it, doesn't it just evoke this warm, exciting, "things are changing for the better" feeling? No?

I think it does! I like change, I know some people dread it but change is amazing and contrary to what people believe I think change turns out for the better! Well, I suppose only if you're optimistic. but I usually am, believe it or not. ;)

On a transitional note, I guess I should talk about what's been going on in my life. Give you a little briefing...

To start off... I AM A CLAM...as happy as one flippin' clam!

Whenever I'm able to contemplate how my day went and how my life is going I can honestly sigh with relief and think... "wow. LIFE. IS . GOOD." As of recently I think I've really been able to breath easier knowing that this huge weight is finally off my shoulders. For a very long time I've been overcome with this enormous amount of hurt and although my wounds are still tender I've finally stop... what's the word? oh, I know... CARING! I've really let go and allowed myself to be me. Silly, ridiculous, and snappy Joanna.

and while that Joanna never went away I always downplayed her in fear of judgements...

and now I've just stopped caring because I've figured something out... "he's gonna hate me either way!" hahahaha... and I love this man. With all my heart I do but he would never have loved me...period.

So I'm almost up that hill and I'm so ready to be completely over it. but for now, I am content.

::Breath in. Breath out:: :)
Sara Bareilles! Just about the cutest picture ever! I <3 this girl! I hope I get to see her when she's in town! :)
