Hello again, blogger world! I've actually missed some of you, but life got in the way. I've been thinking about blogging again, but who has the time for that? Not me! But I did the math, and figured, if I slept one less hour a day, I could get back in to it. Let's also make a note that my math sucks....
So I'm not 'rancher mom' anymore, and that's such a long story that I really can't be arsed to get into, partially because I'm not that kind of person, I mean it's like gossip, isn't it? And I'm not gossipy, and to be honest, even though there's a bit of pain there, I just really don't care and I'm so grateful for the path that life decided to take me, because I am actually happier than I've ever been in my life. It's pretty damn awesome, I must say! But I no longer live on a ranch, so I can't be rancher mom anymore. I'm still a mom, obviously, and even about to become a grandma...sort of. Oh the stories I have to share, ladies! We will get there, no worries. Patience, young Padawans!
One of the best things about my new life is that I have time for cakes! And I am amazed at my own progress on these works of art. Wait, is that prideful? Psht, who cares!? I get better with each job, and I am actually getting quite busy and I love it. There are so few people on this country that are lucky enough to do what they love for a living, and I am seriously lucky that I get the support from my family and friends to carry out my passion on a daily basis!
My awesome boyfriend built me a website for my business, it's here http//www.thecakebuilder.net (I'll format that shit later!). He's so good to me, you bitches would be totally jealous! ;) Its been an adjustment for me, I have to admit. I went from doing about 99% of everything in the household, to an actual shared household like it's supposed to be. Even the boys are more apt to pitch in now that they see how it really should be. So life is awesome. Not perfect, but close enough for me.
So anyway...yeah...cake! This is what I do now, it's my zen, it's my passion and it's also quite symbolic for me. About a year ago, life did a big 180 on me. Who am I kidding? Life bent me over, grabbed the sand-filled Vaseline and went for a dive. But again, it's all good. I learned more about myself and even more about the person I thought I knew for 16 years, and it all ended up for the best in many ways. Not in all, I mean I'm not going to say that people don't get hurt in a separation/divorce, (this is far more complex than that, but I'll save that for another day) but there is always pain in life, and instead of dwelling and focusing on it, we need to learn to figure out what lesson there is to be learned from the pain. Childbirth is fucking painful (except for you pussies who wimp out and get an epidural!) but from it, you get a beautiful baby. Of course you also have to get them through puberty...okay so it's not all rainbows and unicorn farts, but you get the point?!
So, long story short (TOO LATE!). No longer a rancher. Cake builder. Happy. Kismet is awesome. Life is good. Missed my blogging bitches. Hope to hear from all of you ladies again.
Cheers!
Julie
