</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Friday!!!!!! Now that school has started I'm even more happier about weekends!! For some crazy reason my husband and my brother have convinced me to go camping this weekend. Don't get me wrong...I LOVE camping. However, the low is supposed to be around 20 and the high is in the 40's. I have a slight feeling that is TOO COLD FOR ME! It will be adventure to say the least. I hope y'all have a happy, warm weekend!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Well I wouldn't know as I didn't make them gluten free...but I was told that they were absolute deliciousness. :)<br />
<br />

These were for a baby shower and I pretty much just made this up as I went along...hahaha. I made a chocolate cupcake...then I filled it with a chocolate covered cherry type filling and a maraschino cherry...then I topped it with cherry buttercream! <br />

(i hate when people say that) Sorry I've been MIA this week. This is my first week of school and I'm trying to get into the swing of things!! It's going pretty well so far. I've got pretty easy classes this semester so it shouldn't be too bad. I hope y'all are all doing well!! <br />
<br />
So on this edition of What I'm Loving Wednesday...I'm pretty much just going to toot my own horn. It consists of everything I've made in the last 2 weeks. Ya gotta pat yourself on the back every now and then right?? ;)<br />

<span style="color: #e06666;"><strong><em>I am loving... </em></strong></span><span style="color: black;">the shadow box I made for a friend's baby shower. I saw a similar one in a magazine last year and I really wanted to make one but never got around to it. Well the other day while I was in the craft store I was in a creative mood and started grabbing supplies. Here's the finished product!! :)</span><br />

I remember when my best friend had her shower last year she received TONS of little bows and had nowhere to put them.

<span style="color: #e06666;"><strong><em>I am loving... </em></strong></span><span style="color: black;">the gift bag I decided to make to bring her presents to the shower in. I just got some iron on letters and an iron on sheet of polka dot paper. I traced a butterfly (her baby's room theme) onto the iron on sheet, cut it out and ironed everything onto a bag I bought! I tied the tops with leftover ribbon from the shadow box. (I used my materials wisely huh?? Hahaha)</span><br />

CLOSED<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's been quite a while since I've done a giveaway and I do believe y'all deserve one!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">A couple of weeks ago I attended my first <a href="http://www.premierdesigns.com/">Premier Designs</a> party. Have y'all ever been to one or seen their jewelry?? I wasn't expecting much...but the minute I saw the beautiful jewelry I was in LOVE! The best thing about their jewelry is how you can change the necklaces around and get about 10 designs out of them! You can add things, twist them, clip them...etc. Of course I hosted my own party the next week and it was so much fun! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a couple of my favorite items from them!</div><br />

Good morning!!!!!! Did anybody else get a snow day yesterday?? It was supposed to be my first day back to school but school was cancelled! We got about 6" of snow and some freezing rain later. I had so much fun riding around with my husband, doing donuts in the parking lots, sledding, having snowball fights with the neighbors...it really got me reminiscing. There are so many things I miss about the good old days...<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><strong>Week One: Thoughts</strong></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am so excited about how easy this transition has been for me. I was so scared to try it and I just put it off thinking that I could never do it. I'm so glad that I got over that and tried it out. It's actually VERY easy. I haven't been having a hard time with it at all and you won't find someone who likes to eat as much as me!! I am having fun finding all kinds of new foods and recipes. I can't wait to see what else starts improving!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am pondering giving up dairy for a while too to see if that helps me even more. I know that I'm somewhat lactose intolerant but not terribly so. It will definitely be a bit harder to be gluten-free AND dairy-free. I am trying to cut it back slowly for now and I will try going off of it completely at a later time. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyone who is looking to start going gluten free...click <a href="http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2009/04/gluten-free-cheat-sheet-how-to-go-g.html">here</a> for some info. Remember to ALWAYS check with restaurants and look at ingredients before assuming something is gluten free. They add that junk to EVERYTHING!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I developed some crazy itchy blister like rash on my jaw about 2 months ago and I've tried EVERYTHING! Injections, steroids, antibiotics, cortizone cream, Proactiv, prescription creams and gels...nothing even thought about clearing this junk up. Dermatologists and doctors called it acne but I know it's different. Anyway, I've been on the gluten free diet for 8 days and it's already clearing up!! It's so amazing and wonderful! I hope it keeps up. I'll make sure to do an update on the diet. I also got a few requests for "what I can eat" posts so I look forward to doing those!! :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I don't know if y'all remember me writing about my good friend Frances that had lung cancer and beat it... Well, a year later she started having headaches and became very disoriented. They found that the cancer had spread to her brain. <br />

<br />
We lost her on Saturday morning. It's been so hard for me...much harder than I thought. I keep thinking "She isn't coming back..." I feel guilty for not calling her enough...visiting her enough. I know she's in Heaven now and that brings me peace. I hope she is smiling down at me and knows that I miss her very much. I love you Frances and I'll see you when I get there.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I don't usually do New Year's resolutions...but this year just seemed like a good year for 'em! With so many changes going on in my life (and me being a crazy list maker), I thought I'd list them...mostly just to hold myself accountable. It helps. :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">3. Stick to my recently formed budget.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">4. Take my poor dog for a walk.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">5. Don't take 3 month long breaks from my blog. I missed y'all!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">6. Exercise at least 3 times per week.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">7. Join in on <a href="http://lifeofascott.blogspot.com/2010/12/project-365.html">Project 365</a> with Kit at <a href="http://lifeasascott.blogspot.com/">A Step into My Life</a> by taking one picture every day of the year! How fun will that be?! I hope I can remember to do it!<br />
<br />
8. Take ballroom dancing lessons.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Okay well I think that's enough for one year don't you? <br />

<br />
Good morning! How are y'all?? You will be happy to know that I have successfully completed 2 gluten free days! Woohoo!!! <br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So the other night my husband <s>asked me to</s> forced me to watch the movie Public Enemies with him. Not a terrible movie but a bit violent and loud for my liking. I spent most of the 2 long hours on my phone playing Bakery Story (my new obsession) and sipping chamomile tea. :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">What I did enjoy about the movie was the 1930's style. My favorite part being the finger waves. I just love some good finger waves!! That may have a tad bit to do with my having to perfect the technique in cosmetology school...but you have to admit, finger waves are hot! </div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yep. It's hard to believe...but <em>I </em>have gone gluten free! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Okay so it's been one day...but that's a good start for me. LOL My doctor has been telling me to go gluten free for about 2 years now and I'm like "Yeah...right." But on Monday I got to visit with one of my best friends while she was in town and she was telling me how she's been gluten free since June! I was like "Wow! How the heck did you do it?!" She gave me lots of tips and as it turns out...it's really not THAT hard! There are so many things you can eat! The only problem I am going to have is not eating out. (okay and cupcakes) We don't exactly have gluten free restaurants around here and you can't trust the sauces or marinades and all that jazz so it's safer to just eat at home. If I do go out, I can eat before and just have a salad at the restaurant. Of course only oil and vinegar...(or I may sneak in my own dressing). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, my friend told me that she feels fantastic...her skin is clear, her digestion is in perfect working order and she has rid herself of allergies!!! I can't wait to start seeing the improvements in my life. I know that once I start feeling better, the diet will be much easier! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Are any of y'all gluten free?? Give me some tips!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Shannon has amazing style and comes up with such great designs!! She actually designed my cupcake business logo! I had her design my cupcake blog, make my business cards and my flyers! If you ever have ANY design needs, you need to head over to <a href="http://www.persnicketypagesandmore.com/">Persnickety Pages</a>! You won't regret it. :) Here are a few of my favorite blog header designs of hers.<br />

Love that movie. Me and my husband actually went to eat chinese food on Christmas night...and yes, I sang that. But not loud enough for anyone to hear. Hahaha. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope y'all all had a fabulous Christmas and that you got everything you wanted! I definitely did. Everything I wanted and more. We even got about 5 inches of snow!! It was our first white Christmas! I swear though...snow just isn't as great as it used to be when it got us out of school. Now we have to worry about driving in it and getting to work or wherever. It's still beautiful to look at though. :)<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Do you sometimes wonder if you're "losing it"? I know I do more often than not. It's happening much quicker than I expected!! LOL Doctors say that in most cases mindless hours in front of the television, avoiding intellectual stimulation and exertion, result in the shrinking of our mind's capacity, including our memory.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIaCItrcBo2SKODJz3oStkDWgwLQEBZ8YnzmaCi-Ic0mgrw8pfTf0JEMLOjZNM4IzsEgR5nju56GjFrvOvQdHua88g1RrZhKt4_PQHRLZRH63dur3hdhcaE8JUzcoTohEFxpsjfOS07Zs/s1600/vintagewoman.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIaCItrcBo2SKODJz3oStkDWgwLQEBZ8YnzmaCi-Ic0mgrw8pfTf0JEMLOjZNM4IzsEgR5nju56GjFrvOvQdHua88g1RrZhKt4_PQHRLZRH63dur3hdhcaE8JUzcoTohEFxpsjfOS07Zs/s320/vintagewoman.jpg" width="263" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">When you let your mind "veg" and don't stretch it with thoughtful reading, rational thinking, intelligent analysis and conversation, it loses plasticity and becomes old at any age. On the other hand, if you challenge your mind regularly, your brain gets younger as you get older.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">God promises that if you meditate on His word daily you'll become "like a tree planted by streams of water...which yields it's fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers." (Ps 1:3) Don't let your mind "wither", exercise and strengthen it by studying the Scriptures! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Anyway, it turned into a soccer princess party and it turned out to be really fun!!! Not the party...just making the cupcakes...well I'm sure the party was a blast too. Hahaha. The cupcakes were chocolate chip and the frosting was vanilla buttercream. The cupcakes taste just like chocolate chip cookies!!! Delicious with a glass of cold milk! :)<br />

<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Okay...so if you read my post <a href="http://sweetsoutherncupcakes.blogspot.com/2010/10/pretty-is-as-pretty-does.html">Pretty Is As Pretty Does</a> then you know I'm slightly obsessed with Gone With The Wind. In the book, Scarlett's mother Ellen always smells like Lemon Verbena. She uses lemon verbena sachet and the smell always reminds Scarlett of her mother. Welllllll I couldn't place that smell right off so I wanted to find out what it smelled like. Interestingly it's way harder than I expected!! L'Occitane makes a lemon verbena lotion, cologne...etc. but it's way overpriced. However, once I smelled it I fell in love with the scent. It's very fresh and clean. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjsKxsWwr9JRMul5s3HcAzmoDWH0OGkoqyCpR07leRI7K5UScXejpXm-TbBTieamFKZnYJJYWYx-tOXO9A5WToeOMHQt3mLS65HfE6jmaNbfMUEz2kvf4vRWBYcfnVbdxNTvElt1NWPZY/s1600/lemon%2520verbena2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjsKxsWwr9JRMul5s3HcAzmoDWH0OGkoqyCpR07leRI7K5UScXejpXm-TbBTieamFKZnYJJYWYx-tOXO9A5WToeOMHQt3mLS65HfE6jmaNbfMUEz2kvf4vRWBYcfnVbdxNTvElt1NWPZY/s320/lemon%2520verbena2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So instead of paying close to $50 for it...I decided to make my own! I know...it sounds crazy but it was actually very easy and inexpensive!! You can choose to make a light alcohol based perfume or a heavier oil based. First step is to find lemon verbena essential oil. As it turns out, no place within a 50 mile radius to me has lemon verbena oil. They have lemon...and lemongrass...but no lemon verbena. It has it's own distinct scent and I was not substituting. So I went online. Now, if you want real deal lemon verbena oil straight from the leaves you are going to pay a LOT of money for it. I was very surprised at how much it costs. But you can get lemon verbena fragrance oil for a reasonable price. I paid $9.99 for a small bottle. <br />

</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now that you have your oil (you can use any oil you want for this and you can mix a few oils together to make your own scent too!) it's time to make perfume! Grab a spritzer bottle (I bought a glass one from the health food store but you can get a plastic one from Target if you wish) and a medicine dropper.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Alcohol-Based Perfume</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For a lighter perfume, make an alcohol-based perfume. Add about 24 drops of your essential oil with two teaspoons of distilled water and two teaspoons of vodka in your spritzer bottle. Shake well and allow to sit in a cool, dark place for at least 48 hours to allow the scent to infuse itself into the water and alcohol. Shake well again before using. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Oil-Based Perfume</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Add 10 to 12 drops of your essential oil and about two teaspoons of grape seed or jojoba oil in your spritzer bottle. Shake the bottle to mix thoroughly. Let sit for at least 72 hours to allow the scent to penetrate the grape seed or jojoba oil, and then shake to mix thoroughly again before using. <br />

<br />
So, a couple of weeks ago I did something I've never ever done before. Made a chore list. I make lists for EVERYTHING! Things to do today, gifts I want, books to read, etc. But I had never felt the need for a chore list. Until I got lazy. I decided that if it was wrote down and I had to check it off, I would be more likely to do it. (Oh and make sure to take it off of your refrigerator before a party...people are way more interested in it than they should be. LOL)<br />
<br />
I've done pretty good with the chores lately...but last night I got to wondering HOW OFTEN are certain things really needed. Taking in account health issues and such. Like should we be washing our sheets once a week? How often should we really have to mop? Well, I've done some research for you guys and here's a list I came up with!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Changing bed sheets </span><br />
<br />
There is considerable debate on how often you should change your bed sheets. Several surveys conducted over the years suggests that the majority of people change their sheets anywhere from once a week to once a month. Most people recommend changing the sheets <strong>at least every two weeks</strong>, and some people may need to change them more often, depending on certain needs.<br />
<br />
<br />
We shed skin cells at all times, and at night we shed these in our beds. Unfortunately these cells are the food of dust mites, and if you have allergies to dust mites, it may make sense to keep skins cells in bed at a minimum. Some people have extreme allergies and really need to change their bed sheets once a day. Most others can get by with changing sheets once a week, which is about the average rate of sheet change if you employ a housecleaner.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Mop Floors</span><br />
<br />
Depending on the traffic of your floors, you may need to mop <strong>weekly, biweekly or in some areas only monthly</strong>. However, it's best to wipe up obvious dirt as it happens to prevent you from scrubbing on your mopping day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://housekeeping.about.com/od/surfacefloors/f/mopfrequency.htm"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">http://housekeeping.about.com/od/surfacefloors/f/mopfrequency.htm</span></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Dusting</span><br />
<br />
If no one in your household suffers from allergies, you won't have to worry about the health effects of dust as often as other families do. You'll still need to dust electronics and furniture <strong>weekly</strong> to prevent buildup that can scratch, damage, and clog surfaces in your home. More out of the way spots like ceilings, corners, and door frames will only need to be dusted as needed, and may only require your attention every couple of months.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://housekeeping.about.com/od/cleaning101/f/frequencydust.htm"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">http://housekeeping.about.com/od/cleaning101/f/frequencydust.htm</span></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Washing the dog</span><br />
<br />
It depends mainly on the dog breed. Though most dogs do not like water, <strong>it is necessary to wash them frequently</strong>, not to make them look extremely clean but to protect them from skin diseases. The washing interval also depends on the coat of the dog. Dogs with coarse or wiry coat, like Schnauzers and Terriers need to bathed every 4-6 weeks. Double coat dogs need to be washed every 4-8 weeks, dogs like Cocker Spaniel and Pekingese fall in double coat category. If you have a smooth coat dog like Chihuahua you will need to wash it only once in 8 weeks. The last category of dogs, the non-shedding dogs like poodles need to be washed every 6-8 weeks.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Vaccuming carpets</span><br />
<br />
It’s best to vacuum your carpet <strong>at least twice a week</strong>, if you can’t vacuum your entire house this often, at least vacuum the high traffic areas at least twice a week. (Yikes!)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Cleaning the bathroom</span><br />
<br />
The bathroom should be cleaned <strong>once a week</strong>, and even more frequently if it gets heavy use from a large family.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">7. Replacing kitchen sponge</span><br />
<br />
Replace your sponge<strong> every month</strong>. Signs that your sponge should be replaced immediately, regardless of the time elapsed since the last replacement, include musty or unpleasant odors and a sponge that is beginning to disintegrate. <br />

It is SO GOOD! I love flavored coffee...but every now and then I love a good apple cider. Last Fall I tried the CAS from Starbucks for the first time and fell in love! I would crave it at least once a week. I decided I better learn how to make it at home to save some money. Now that it's Fall again I broke out my recipe and started at it again. Yummy yummy yummy!! Here's the recipe so you can make one for yourself! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have a confession to make. Ever since I started reading Gone With The Wind...I have become OBSESSED with 1800's southern plantation life. I read through GWTW, Scarlett, and Rhett Butler's People in record time and have been searching online for more books like them!! I just can't get enough. My husband even found me a plantation house built in 1852 FOR SALE in SC!! Hahaha. Oh how I wish I could buy it and spend my days fixing it up to look just like it would have in the 1800's. <sigh>I told y'all I was obsessed. Click <a href="http://www.allentate.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?pageid=11&pagealias=ListingDetail&ListingID=1781594&Region=CMLS&ListingPosition=4&From=Full">here</a> to see the MLS listing on the house!!! It's amazing!!!!!!!!</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So anyway, back to my obsession. I know Scarlett is selfish and bratty and a bit promiscuous but other than that we actually have a LOT in common!!! I feel like I can relate to her in a lot of ways. I recently read a book called Scarlett Rules by Lisa Bertagnoli. It's great!!! It gives you 24 life lessons inspired by Scarlett O'hara. I love them all but I thought I'd share my favorite one with y'all.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Scarlett Rule 1</span></strong></em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em><strong>Pretty Is As Pretty Does</strong></em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>Although Scarlett was portrayed as drop dead gorgeous Vivien Leigh in the movie, it was made clear in the book that Scarlett wasn't beautiful. </em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>"Scarlett O'hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm." - GWTW</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>What made Scarlett different from every other average looking girl in the world is that Scarlett was unaware of her lack of beauty. Scarlett knew how to dress to play up her figure, and she know how to act make men (and women) forget she was anything but ravishing. </em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>Truly charming people make anyone feel that he or she is the only person in the world. They know how to deliver a compliment and how to accept one. They know how to make people feel good about themselves and about life, no matter what the circumstances. </em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>Charm is a skill that takes cultivating. What does it take to be like her, the woman whose entrance makes a party, whose smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds, who's invited everywhere and then some?</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>She listens. She doesn't interrupt. She doesn't reply to an anecdote with a quick "Oh, that happened to me once!" She lets the story, however trite, long or boring belong to the teller. She remembers people's names and details about their lives: new job, new baby, new home. She asks to see baby pictures, sparing proud new parents the awkwardness of an unwanted show and tell. </em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>She gives well considered, straightforward compliments with no hidden meaning. She knows how to accept a compliment. She knows the proper response is Thank you. How kind of you. No embellishment or argument needed.</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>A charming woman says thank you and please. She handwrites thank you notes even if she's already thanked the giver in person.</em> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There's so much more to that section but I managed to squeeze my favorite parts in there. I think we all need a reminder of how to be charming every now and then. I think my main issue is with compliments. I ALWAYS say Oh stop!! That's ridiculous... Or you're crazy!! or something like that. Of course I need to work on all of it!! I need to go to charm school for sure. Hahaha. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">(1) I have created a new blog for my cupcake shop!!!!!!!! I'm so super excited about it!!! Please check it out when you get a chance and follow me! <a href="http://www.sweetcupcakesandmore.blogspot.com/">Sweet! Cupcakes & More</a> Isn't the blog design AMAZING?! Details coming soon!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">(2) Speaking of my cupcake shop...things are going so well!! Better than I could have ever imagined! I did 2 birthday parties this weekend and I have 3 more coming up next week! It keeps me way busier than I thought it would but I love it! I can't wait to share the pictures with y'all!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">(3) I know I've talked about this before...but I am FINALLY starting school again!! I managed to get in 1 short session class starting Wednesday. I'll get that out of the way and then start my full load in January. I am so darn excited I can't contain myself. I am going for an Associate of Arts degree for now which gives me freedom to transfer into a number of things. However, I have decided to get a certification in Medical Laboratory Science. I am so interested in medical research and studies and I never thought I could actually get into that. I thought it would take too long and I don't like to touch people or anything like that so I never pursued it. A couple weeks ago I heard about MLT and it's basically background medical stuff. Labs and research. Exactly what I wanted and I can get certified in 2 years. I know I'm rambling but I'm so excited!!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">(4) I can't talk about all of this without mentioning where I've found the strength to get where I am today. The last couple of months have been really hard. With personal medical problems, slowly closing down our family run business, going on unemployment...etc. I have been scared to death. I am full of advice when it comes to other people's problems..."Trust God" "Don't worry about it, God will take care of you" but when it comes to myself, it's easier said than done. I have been praying like crazy every day asking God what in the world am I going to do? I've lost my job, I can't have children, I can't afford to adopt or get an egg donor, I have no idea what I want to do with my life...Please help me! Well, for months I felt as if my prayers would never be answered. Then suddenly things seemed to fall into place. My cupcake business took off, I finally decided and feel good about going back to school, I got some of my medical problems worked out and I have even somewhat been able to look at pregnant women and babies without crying for once. Things are coming together and God has really blessed me. He always has...I think we all just get into our own little pity party sometimes and forget what all we've been blessed with. If anyone is going through something tough right now...please know that number one...you're not alone and number two...keep holding on! The light at the end of tunnel is not far!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">(5) Wednesday is my birthday!! I am turning 27 this year and this is the first year I haven't been excited about my birthday. I don't even feel like celebrating! I hate to be that way but I've been in an "I'm getting old!" slump lately. To be honest...I wouldn't want to be in my late teens or early twenties again. I am extremely happy at my current age. I just don't want to get any older! ;)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">(6) Tonight I'm getting my hair done!!! I usually do it myself, but I'm wanting some highlights and I haven't quite mastered foiling my own hair. Hahaha. I'm going to go do a light brownish red highlight. I can't wait to see how it turns out. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm sure I'm leaving out a hundred things...but I can't think of anything else right this second. Plus, I'm itching to catch up on y'alls blogs!! Love you guys!! Hope y'all have a wonderful day! :)<br />
