Cupcakes and Memories

I MISSED CATHERINE SO MUCH AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER AGAIN SOON <3 <3

As you can probably guess, I was able to see Catherine today and we had fun adventures! First we went to get cupcakes at this quaint little cupcake shop called "Cupcake Cache" which is located next to Busch Gardens. This place is phenomenal. It's family owned but they have 63 different cupcake flavors and so far, Catherine and I haven't found one we don't like. I was able to get my peanut butter fix taken car of and I ordered the peanut butter cup cupcake which was a chocolate cake filled with peanut butter mousse and hazelnut filling, topped with peanut but buttercream, and garnished with a peanut butter cup. SO GOOOOODDDDD!!! Catherine tried the orange blossom (I think that is what it was called) which was an orange cake, with orange filling, orange icing, and topped with an chewy orange candy slice! She was very pleased with her purchase so I am sure we will be visiting the little  shop again! We also picked up real food from Jason's Deli before heading to Catherine's house and eating said lunch and cupcakes. The next three hours was spent catching up, drawing Disney scenes, and playing Mario Word!

The Storyline challenge for today is to reflect on a picture. 

The picture I decided to reflect on is not a picture of me but of my mother and my sister's father. From what I am told, this was taken before my mother's 20th birthday which makes her younger in this picture than I am now. I posted this once before on Facebook and captioned it that we were twins. Eerily enough, we are. My chin and cheeks are little fuller and my nose has a tiny bit more definition towards the tip but other than that, we look identical in the face. I was never told that I looked like my mother when I was growing up. My sister, yes but not my mom. It is so weird for me to look at this picture because all I see is myself and that (in some backwards way) reminds me that she is always with me.

Figured It Out



Well, maybe.

I did some math and I found out that even if I put away half of my paycheck from now until December, I still won't have the number I want in the savings account. Next option? Add more money. How? Well, I could start selling my stuff or offering to babysit around the neighborhood. Or I can pick up another job. Of course, I won't actually apply until I talk to my current one but I did find a handful just walking out of work today. I'd still be at the mall so it would be pretty easy to do both. Decisions are hard. 

Another thing I think I have all figured out is a way to work on the photography challenge that I have given myself and the "doing things that make me happy" goal I made. I have SO MUCH MAKE UP and I like to do my makeup so for July I think I am going to try to do at least one makeup post a week. That would only end up being 4 posts for the month (minimum) and if I can handle that then we will go from there.

That's not all folks, absolutely not! I also want to start doing the really stupid hashtags on Twitter and Instagram. I try to do throwback Thursday whenever I remember it but I want to make a point of this for no other reason than I want to. It's something I want to do for the sake of doing.


ALSO LOOK AT BABY HAYES!!!! LOOK AT HIM!
