I haven\\’t been updating much.\u00a0 Although I do a fair amount of contributing over here <\/a>when the mood strikes me.<\/p>\n

I\\’m doing OK.\u00a0 Things are looking up for the most part, although I am SO sick of the weather around here<\/a>!\u00a0 That in and of itself is seriously depressing.\u00a0 Today was all dark, slushy and horribly gross.\u00a0 Tomorrow?\u00a0 Supposed to freeze (-29) and then by Thursday +8, I\\’m so damn excited!\u00a0 It\\’s going to feel like summer!\u00a0 WOO HOO<\/p>\n

So lately while trying to emerge from the slump I\\’ve been in, I\\’ve turned to food.\u00a0 In a positive way.\u00a0 As in baking the crap out of everything when the mood strikes me.\u00a0 I\\’ve invented about a dozen new cookies (made lots of new friends who get to eat said goodies heh<\/em>) and have really gotten into cake baking\/ decorating\/sculpting as of late.\u00a0 I\\’d like to take a few classes one of these days, but they\\’re rather hard to find in these parts.\u00a0 So I\\’m mostly<\/span> totally self taught when it comes to this stuff.<\/p>\n

Thank God for the internet.<\/p>\n

Seriously.<\/p>\n

I find so much awesome, helpful stuff on here!\u00a0 At least when it comes to cake decorating and finding ways to make me laugh.\u00a0 Art & laughter=cheap therapy.\u00a0 I wish I could afford to get tattooed more these days, it\\’s an awesome release and I have so much UN-finished work that\\’s making me crazy!\u00a0 However I have sought comfort and solace in making edible art and not so much edible art.\u00a0 To coin a phrase from Shannon:\\”There\\’s an art cupboard in the hospital for a reason\\” I happen to agree.<\/p>\n

Even if you have no talent or very little in an artistic type of way, it\\’s very freeing.<\/p>\n

So is laughter.<\/p>\n

It truly IS the best medicine.\u00a0 Rick Mercer<\/a> is HILARIOUS!\u00a0 I\\’ve laughed so hard I\\’ve almost cried.<\/p>\n

I\\’m pretty sure that man saved my life.<\/p>\n

For real. <\/em><\/p>\n

So laugh, be creative and most importantly: be true to yourself.\u00a0 Be honest and don\\’t be afraid to share the burden of your pain, you\\’d be surprised at who comes to your rescue when you least expect it.<\/p>\n

Especially when you need it the most.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
