Ice Cream Cupcakes!

Long time no see! I know, I know...it's been a while. I start a new blog, put an entry and then I don't post anything for days..and days! Sorry about that! I'm still really excited about having a blog and being able to vomit in 'cyberworld' (I think I just made up a new word =) about whatever I feel like in whatever current state of mind I may be in. I've also realized just how busy my life is and how much sacrifice is required to do/participate in things that are not related to work or school.
Nonetheless, I've decided to blog about my childhood flashback I had this past weekend! It was so crazy! My roommate and I have had this box of cake imx in our cupboard since we moved in. We kept on saying that we were going to make a cake, and then we said that we would make cupcakes...but we never did lol. *This is where the flashback comes in* So randomly on Sunday, something got me thinking about my mom and all of the things that she used to do for me and my sister that made her a Grrrrreat! (Tony the Tiger voice) mother. She used to make these cupcakes, we call them "Ice Cream Cupcakes" for my sister and I for like special occasions at school (i.e. birthdays or special events or something). I recalled my birthday in kindergarden..like totally out of nowhere lol. And it made me want to make the ice cream cupcakes. When I ran the idea by my roommate, she kinda just dropped her jaw and was like "OMG I've never had those!" Her reaction was the same after they came out of the oven, with an added, "OMG these are great!" I guess I was unaware of how unpopular these ice cream cupcakes were. I mentioned making them to a few coworkers, some of my classmates and a few friends and, "Oh wow, those sound like fun" seemed to be the consensus. When I told my mother that I made them, she laughed, after I made her play the "Guess what I made that you used to make all the time for Ang and I" game. I recieved the typical mommy response of "You're kidding", followed by a chuckle that I'd recognize from miles away. It was one of those laughs that took her back, to when times were sooooooooo different. I know that she misses the days when she could hold my sister and I close and treat us like her little princesses =) Anyways, I've already promised my classmates that I would make some more and bring them to class with me sometime soon. I'm thinking of making a video blog on how to make them! We'll see how that goes. Until next time...thanks Mommy!

In the beginning...

Sooo...I'm finally starting a blog! I'm pretty excited about it actually. I don't really know what to expect as far as response goes but...whatev! If no one else follows I know my BFF will lol. Quick shout (how whack am I lol) to NiqSpeaks! You should really check out her blog, www.niqspeaks.blogspot.com It's going to be relaunching on April 3rd. I'm excited about it...excited to see what she has to say about life and the current topics at hand. Should be veeeery intersting.
Anyways, I'm going to try and make this a regular thing. My biggest challenge is going to be to put up video blogs. I wanted to put one up as my initial entry but I'm not sure if I'm ready for it yet lol. I even went out and bought a new webcam (not a webcamera apparently ha). The real purpose for the webcam purchase was to skype Dezi! She's in Iraq and I haven't been able to keep in touch with her the way I want to.
Sidenote: I'm TERRIBLE at keeping in touch!
There are so many people that I've encountered over the years that have impacted my life in so many ways and that I love dearly but because I super suck at keeping in touch, I've lost touch with them =/ I'm trying to get better at it so I'm taking the first step by purchasing a webcam and starting with staying in touch with Dezi while she's thousands of miles away!

Most times I surprise myself with things that go through my head and I'm hoping that my memory doesn't fail me so that I can share what goes on up there with you guys =)
'What can I expect' you ask? Probably a bunch of R.A.N.D.O.M.ness. Maybe some current hot topics going on in our great nation if im intrigued...honestly, I don't really know! But get excited!

So let the blogging begin! Until next time...
