I wanted to blog about this becasue i was so deeply hurt by a friend last week and it has left me baffled and paralyzed with sadness. Let me back track a few months back to july. I found out my friend ashley was going to have a baby and that she was so excited. Now her babys father, Matt, not so excited and very vocal about it. Well ashley finally saw matt for the douche he is and left him. Ashley is a very reclusive and introverted type of person but, her and i hit it off right away and when i heard what had happen</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">ed i made it a point to be there for her. We started hanging out regularly and just talking abo</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">ut the future and all. Then the phone calls stopped and the texts never got answered. I w</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">as not to</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">o worried but finally i called her at work to see what the deal was. She was very ru</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">de and told me she had nothing to say and hung up. So i waited a few hours and texted to ask what the problem was and she said that she does not owe me any explanation and she can be the bitch now and to never contact her again. I was perplexed so i drove to her job to confront her and there in the front door of the cafe sat her boyfriend. i was SHOCKED....now let me back track and explain.. when she left him i told her some things that i knew and had kept from her because i did not want to be in the middle. Things that were oh so important, like he was a cocaine addict and i knew he had used when he told her he didn't. i also told her that he had asked me to find some for him. I am not sure what he has told her and since she refuses to talk to me i guess i will never know. I refuse to</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> </span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">badger </span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">her becasue she is preg and i love her.

What i am wondering is how to just walk from a friendship when i know that the friend is in the wrong place and that nothing good is going to come of it.<br /> My fiancee said that i have to let it go and just let her live her life. I know this is true but its so hard to walk away without even having a reason. I guess this is her journey though and so to her i say GOOD LUCK and I LOVE YOU.<br /> Now as the day wore on i got more and more depressed so i decided to do what i do best...thats right BAKE.

so let me update real Quick, my computer had a virus so nicely sent in an email from a supposed secure site, then i found out the head gasket on my car blew, and to top it off since i had no car i lost my litle cupcake job so excuse me if my cake plate give away got put on hold..<br /><br />I cant believe the nasty comments i have received over not getting the gift sent. So i am letting everyone know, i just got my computer back, i am trying to get up to date since i lost everything on my hard drive, pictures, my cook book, EVERYTHING !!! So if all anyones cares about is a cake plate then please do not follow my blog as i really only want people with compassion and understanding in my life right now..I have enough greedy people with hands out right now...Thanks so much and have a joyous day!!!<br /><br /><br />Oh and the winner was felicia from playing dishes...but i cant really say when i will be able to get that to you considering right now life has happened and i am a single mom with a lifetime of stuff all crumbling in one fell swoop.....if you continue to follow great if not bless you and take care<br /><br /><br />the people behind the words on the screen are real people with real issues and if noone out here is real then i dont wanna blog anymore. Its easy to read a recipe, or look at pictures of peoles kids, but, remember those people are real and sometimes life is not easy.. So dont judge people on what you think they are, listen and learn before you judge because in the end who r you to pass judgement.<br /></span></span></span></span></span>semi~psycho~bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01895424676424636333noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415012098475726970.post-7196308406511346152009-07-12T10:53:00.005-04:002009-07-12T10:57:13.951-04:00ice cream social from kitchen bouquets<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRkj7cYN0jjxZeGi1umdWA4O6gxmZD1sCpdibbguI2IqckrOoDYgk75ScLzeGeOhx9s3ZLz3UbkmKNxCHIdlJfklw7Jocouic4jVvyWv48O0ufoRvpCuqGhqHX8juKpZg_nGJ5DrCE9yga/s1600-h/935881.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 135px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRkj7cYN0jjxZeGi1umdWA4O6gxmZD1sCpdibbguI2IqckrOoDYgk75ScLzeGeOhx9s3ZLz3UbkmKNxCHIdlJfklw7Jocouic4jVvyWv48O0ufoRvpCuqGhqHX8juKpZg_nGJ5DrCE9yga/s400/935881.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357587285279393426" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">OK this is the kiwi/lime ice cream with fresh kiwi's and strawberrry coulis. refreshing and lite for a summer bbq.

These are so simple to make either using a homemade white cake recipe using margarita mix with pureed strawberries or a box strawberry mix and instead of using the water use margarita mix... and salt of course to the mix.. for the frosting use 1/2 stick butter with 3 cups pwdered sugar and the zest and juice (with pulp) of 2 fresh limes and beat til smooth adding cream as needed by tbsp. these are great with a real margarita at the end of the bbq with the fireworks flashing in the air and the ones you love surrounding you... god bless america and our families and loved ones serving overseas today!!! come home soon and come homne safe!!</span></span></span></span>semi~psycho~bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01895424676424636333noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415012098475726970.post-85677461772583678872009-07-03T18:25:00.000-04:002009-07-03T18:47:17.337-04:00my new job and other great things......<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5wQHsvMGM9Wk0-fdJ5pUTUoo6Aa1nuATdxiPLSfP-HaZ-fIdsWbxbhtmwzhKjvExsCf871ZA7D4GrjYU_9xN9vWhSNTeet3Y2BDkpZ_53UMqJbdKtKXSxdnMi2q5zm7UOQ26TtPLBgaYK/s1600-h/work+003.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5wQHsvMGM9Wk0-fdJ5pUTUoo6Aa1nuATdxiPLSfP-HaZ-fIdsWbxbhtmwzhKjvExsCf871ZA7D4GrjYU_9xN9vWhSNTeet3Y2BDkpZ_53UMqJbdKtKXSxdnMi2q5zm7UOQ26TtPLBgaYK/s320/work+003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354368497941440034" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Happy 4TH of july first </span></span></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCSTqHDUz-0qnD-kxF1vwi0cQ2-ohsX5ujK4ozzNpWVsYjD4p0V074Y_oT_DiLN2TrdsIQZqLun0Kw-1e3sTsZAPKxAmZmLUSwiN1mHQtOo_ZufYQKcXkAt3ddBTwvT_Oeidt2-DBGIWXZ/s1600-h/work+001.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCSTqHDUz-0qnD-kxF1vwi0cQ2-ohsX5ujK4ozzNpWVsYjD4p0V074Y_oT_DiLN2TrdsIQZqLun0Kw-1e3sTsZAPKxAmZmLUSwiN1mHQtOo_ZufYQKcXkAt3ddBTwvT_Oeidt2-DBGIWXZ/s320/work+001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354368475423285490" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">off and </span></span></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitq4NS_o8FixbS3UjSXSDk9kXNQBHQ2c0vJwy8xXro93N3x76w7BbCRRAkyptOggWcjtJIw7Rag3NIKK7HoEeeNHpoRFmNDfmqqAvTQeN85lS-h1rFgw1IL500o1LM5oAlqpMVhNppuHv9/s1600-h/work+002.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitq4NS_o8FixbS3UjSXSDk9kXNQBHQ2c0vJwy8xXro93N3x76w7BbCRRAkyptOggWcjtJIw7Rag3NIKK7HoEeeNHpoRFmNDfmqqAvTQeN85lS-h1rFgw1IL500o1LM5oAlqpMVhNppuHv9/s320/work+002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354368484928719266" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">hurray for my new job at CAROLINA CUPCAKERY.

So next time asks you to come over for tea...jazz it up a bit, get creative, if you are doing chai tea lunch use foods with earthly flavors like cumin and nutmeg, or ginger.

So today i made my mans favorite.. Cheese danish.<br /><br /><br />It was so easy to make this with 5 simple ingredients, cream cheese, confectioners sugar , sour cream, lemon zested and juiced and puff pastry. ( I did cheat just a bit and bought the pastry sheets.) but the end result as you can see is really Quite nice and the flavor was extemely lemony and tart sweetness. When my guy gets up i will serve im up a big piece and watch as his love for me gets even bigger!!!<br /><br /><br /><br />Ok and now for my first give away ever!!!! trumpets sound... i am so new to this but i am hoping to get my name and blog out here so here we go... I have followed living on sweet tea and un wife housewife life and think i know what i am doing...but stil bear with...<br /><br />Starting july 1st<br />I have a cake stand, 4 plates, 4 little knives and to give to the person who can help me get my name out there the most, by posting me on your blog, by mentioning this giveaway and just leaving me a comment on my blog. the cake stand and accesories will be posted up here soon for you to view ( I have to dig them out of their boxes.) hope to see you all soon<br /></span></span></span></span>semi~psycho~bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01895424676424636333noreply@blogger.com2
