Good morning,
I'm Little Miss Sunshine! Well not exactly. This is my name for the moment. I just turned 28 right before the new year, and I live in the Bay Area. I live with my fiance, one of my older sisters, My fiance's niece, and his cousin.
Yesterday I watched Julie and Julia. I was indeed inspired to start my own blog. Not just for cooking, but a lot of different things. Life, opinions, and struggles. I'm not going to go cooking recipe's as a goal. (even though I do love to cook, and would like to try more new recipes) My main goal here is to have an outlet for my life. Something that I feel I can follow through with. Lately it seems that I don't follow through with anything, so this is a good start. I don't really even want to share this with people close to me. Sometimes I find it easier to talk to a stranger rather than people that I know.
I have learned that I have a lot of wonderful friends and family that I love and trust, and there are just other people in my life that I have met, that for some reason love to stir up some shit, try to gossip, and involve themselves in other people's business, and try to twist their words. They do this because it makes them feel better about themselves, and their own situation. So that kinda makes me want to share my blog with a stranger.
I try to be a good person. I am a person of limited means, like the rest of the economy right now. I go to work every day and try to enjoy the little things. I've also learned that these people that try to gossip, also try to take advantage of you if you're a nice person, they try to make you look like the bad guy. (this is all a whole different blog that I will write later.)
I guess that I should start with telling you readers out there more about me. First of all I have a few on going goals in my life at the moment. I would like to start cooking more recipes. I used to love to bake, I would make all these beautiful decorated cakes, cupcakes, cookies, etc and sell them. I stopped doing that for a few reasons.
I was never hell bent on making a ton of money, or worrying about what other people wanted.I just wanted to do what I wanted, build some skills. Then friends, co-workers, and people that I have on my fb page started asking if they could make orders, etc. Sure I don't mind making an extra buck or two. (I'll still make cakes for really close friends and family when I have the time.)
I noticed that things changed, people started getting a little over bearing. They wanted 2 dozen cupcakes, and 2 dozen cookies (keep in mind it takes time to decorate etc.) and wanted me to bring them to work (which is 20 miles away), on my off day, and then would stand me up, or expect me to cater to them. Then get mad when I said that I don't have the time, or couldn't make it because I have other things to do outside of work. They started coming up with all these idea's for me, and didn't want to pay fair prices for hard work.
So I've stopped baking for the time being. I would like to experiment with other area's of cooking, or technical recipe's. I also don't want to cater to other people right now.
That brings me to my second of all. I have a lot going on aside from my 40 hr a wk job. I'd like to have the time to do the things that I want to do. After cooking dinner every night, trying to fit in exercise, after a long day at the office and a long commute home, it's kinda hard.
Exercise and losing weight it also another journey that I've just embarked on, so that's also going to be a part of my blog. I just started taking Ali, and have been trying to walk regularly. I started at 145 lbs and week and a half ago, and now I am 138 lbs. So I have been seeing progress. I try to eat healthy low fat meals, but when I fail I stick to my back up plan of "everything in moderation" so if I eat something bad, I don't over eat it, and get off of my ass and work a little harder the next day.
This brings me to the end of my rambling/introduction. Don't worry soon enough I will post blogs about particular subjects, updates, and experience's.
TTYL,
Little Miss Sunshine
