yeah, yeah...

Ok, so I know I titled my last post as a "writer's return" and I truly intended to start blogging more regularly after that.... but then, life got busy...

busy with what??? you may ask... well...

the BLOG KILLER... FACEBOOK...

Don't get me wrong, Facebook (or Facegame, as my pastor calls it) is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends alike.... but it's too quick, too easy...

I can update my status in seconds, and then, all my friends know right away...

and... if you're like me, on your "home" page you have the link to your friends' updates open all the time, so you know the second one of your friends updates their status...

and again, not that this is bad...

But with that going on, I never have the time I need to post a blog...

I need time to sign in, then come up with a quarky little title for my post,

load the pictures, and place them exactly as I want them...

It's a lot of work...

But once again I appologize...

and now I will formally fill you in on where and what I've been up to...

1) As most of you who live in this small town know, the closure of the business that my mom works at is a hard hit for both the pork industry and our town... but God works wonders and she has a new job (which she starts this Wednesday). But... the job is in Winnipeg... so we're in process to look for an apartment in the south end of the city... We're officially going "apartment hunting" tomorrow...

2) I have OFFICIALLY been accepted to the University of Manitoba this fall to continue my education as a Nurse.... I'm so excited!!!

3) I've been taking a CAKE DECORATING class!!! and it's OODLES AND OODLES of fun...

I have to appologize for not taking pics of my first cake, but I have pics from this last cake (I'll do one more this Sunday and then I will post those pics later...)

Here's the cake...

This first picture is the top view... I did a star tip all the way along the top boarder, and then a variety of flowers on the top...

This next picture is from the top/side view... Tracey gave me some candy gems to glam up my cake....

Side view...

The two flowers near the top are suppose to be chrysanthemums... and the closer to the bottom is suppose to be a rose... (my first attempts...)

These are the different flowers I did to decorate... just something fun... I've really enjoyed being in this class... it's been a tonne of fun...

So yeah... basically that's what I've been up to.... I'll take more pics at my next, and final, class and show you all my skills...

Have a great day!!! Enjoy the sunshine!!!
