Fail cupcakes. The stupid paper liner/cup/things I used were crappy so a whole tray of itty bitty cupcakes was lost. I even added blue, pink, and green coloring(separately) to the batter so they were pretty.
Fail frosting. I followed directions completely. The only thing I can think of that I did wrong would be that I didn't cook the first step long enough even though the mix was the correct consistency. Oh well. I decided that instead of sending my friends semi-suck cupcakes, I'll just be lame and go buy some mix and frosting so that it's sure to not be screwed up instead of working from scratch. Or I could just buy frosting to put on the cute ones that didn't suck. Or I could just find another frosting recipe. It would be a better idea. Less wasteful sort of.
The awesomeness of the day came in the form of an epiphany. I was thinking about what classes I am going to take for this upcoming semester(often called winter semester, but some say spring). I want to be able to travel whenever I want or to be in a spot with lots of resources. ["Resources" will be explained in a later post, but in general I mean that I want to be in a place that isn't 20 minutes from everywhere, a place that has people, a place that has theatre and music and opportunity.] That means either taking a class in a school that I fall in love with or a class taken online. But in order to take a class, I need money and in order to get money I need a job. What kind of job can I get without grounding myself and hating life for a little while? (cue sparkly, twinkly revelation music)
Freelancing.
What could I freelance as? I haven't been to school to have the qualifications that lots of people require (not hating on that notion, it's understandable to want people with experience) and I haven't picked one thing toward which I would devote my time and energy. So I'm not "the best" at any one thing. I know "it's never too late" but the frustration is still there and enough to form a huge fence of procrastination to prevent me from picking something. That and I want to do so many things that I have a hard time choosing just one thing. Baby steps are still progress, though. So I must pick one thing and devote myself to it. Seems easy enough, mostly requiring discipline to follow through. Which is not easy.
Just to recap, in case it was sort of vague, the awesome of today was the realization of what I can do that would satisfy my monetary and traveling needs. That and not letting my day be ruined by fail frosting. =3
How was your day?
