Meme alert! I don't ever want to fill my blog up with self-indulgent meme's, but every now and then I get tagged to do a great one. Alicia from The Red Deer tagged me to write 10 honest things about myself. I like this one because it gives a chance to tell any 10 things about ourselves we want. Of course I'm gonna pick 10 awesome things. So here are 10 things that make me seem great! Lol ;P
1. I'm gonna come out of the gate with the same #1 as Alicia. I LOVE ZOMBIE MOVIES! Any and all zombie movies, new or old, crappy or brilliant. So far my favorite is Shaun of the Dead.
2. My boyfriend of 1 1/2 years is my best friend of almost 7 years! Josh is honestly the best person I know. And without a shadow of a doubt I can say that I'm going to marry him some day! :D
3. I have my Associates Degree in Social Science framed and hanging on my bedroom wall as a reminder of the 3 years I wasted in community college before realizing that baking is my passion. Thank goodness for financial aid!
4. I am usually a happy, positive person. I laugh A LOT, and I tend to see the brighter side of most situations.
5. I typically do not like the share the kitchen. If I need help, I'll ask for it. Otherwise, don't take the lids off my pots to see what I'm cooking. And most definitely DO NOT open my oven door!
6. My cat, Thomas, is pretty much my other boyfriend. We found him when he was a kitten, and now he's about 14 or 15 years old. He's still extremely youthful, minus his gruesome old meow!
7. My 16 yr old cousin, Stephanie, is my best girlfriend in the whole wide world! She lives about 4 1/2 hours away, and we only see each other a few times a year. But when we get together, we send each other into a 24/7 fit of laughter. Hopefully she'll move to VA after she graduates!
8. My goal for the future is to own my own bakery and call it "Flour Child Bakery & Dessert Cafe!" I don't have a back-up plan, and some may think that's foolish. However, I know I'm going to succeed, and I won't stop working until I make it!
9. I hate making the same recipe twice! With so many recipes and cookbooks out there, it just wouldn't feel right to settle! I do have a few exceptions: Dorie's Kugelhopf, Alton Brown's Pizza Dough, Martha's Lime Meltaways, Lee Bailey's Coffee Ice Cream, ATK's Low-Fat Blueberry Muffins, Nancy Baggett's Marshmallows, and Paula's Potato Soup! Those are my all-time favorite recipes that will never be replaced!
10. I love learning about 1960's counterculture. If a genie gave me a whole lot of wishes, one of them would be to go to the 60's and be a tree hugger! :D
Okay, now it's my turn to tag 10 people! I'll make it easy and choose first 10 from the top of my Google reader right now:
Technicolor Kitchen
Annie's Eats
Obsessed With Baking
Dessert First
Joy the Baker

I think your bakery will be awesome! Maybe you should name it How to Eat a cupcake!
Ah, time to get acquainted with Miss Cupcake a little bit more :) I'm totally with ya on numbers 4, 8, and 9 actually. I think your bakery idea sounds great. Come down to NC in a couple years and open it up. We need it down here :)
Go for your dreams. If you have passion, nothing can stop you!
I have a bachelors in Psychology and Criminology in the envelope it came in the mail in. 5 years ago. I figured out my passion for baking the year after I graduated.
It was nice getting to know you more and i do wish you get you dream in opening your own bakery as you are such a fabulous baker.
Nice to get to know you better. I hear you on the baking passion after school, I have a B.A and J.D - doh!
Uh oh, if you don't like making the same recipe twice running a bakery might get boring!
Thanks for sharing your ten honest things! Just an FYI-- I decided to do it too, even tho I wasn't tagged. I figured it's a nice thing to do, especially for new bloggies like me. :-)
This sweet addict is still lovin your blog babe! Keep it up!
I love the name Flour Child! Good Luck and Godspeed on your goals- I taught middle school Art for a year and then worked in a bookstore for 3 years before I was able to realize my dream of being a handmade seller/stay at home mom- I'm still working on the selling part though :)
It's true, knock out recipes don't get nearly as boring. You tend to feel like you are creating a little masterpiece each time. And having seasonal flavors and rotating specials always helps. As much as the extra work of the holidays wears on me, I love getting to make all of the fun holiday treats every year.
And I agree Flour Child is a cute name. There is a Flour Chylde bakery in this area, but I like the regular spelling better.
Haha zombie movies are awesome. If you haven't seen Fido yet, I recommend it. It's a canadian movie and is very amusing. It was released in some theatres in the states and also released on dvd.
Don't feel so bad about going to college. I spent 4 years earning my bachelors degree, graduated a year ago, have yet to use it, and know I never will! I know more people with degrees who are not using them then those who are.
awesome post!!! love finding out new things about bakers :)
Love the post! This way we get to know you more and more! To have your own bakery! Sounds sooo much fun! I know you can do it!
xxx Bar.
Fun post!!
If you like zombie movies, make sure you also read Max Brook's "World War Z: an oral history of the zombie war" (it's scary, bleak and hopeful) and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" (the Jane Austen classic but with zombies, a cute read).
I'm the same - I don't like people in my kitchen when I'm cooking!
A great meme! I hope you'll marry your boyfriend and be able to open a bakery!
Cheers,
Rosa
I think in general, cupcake people are happy people.
Aww I can't wait to come to your bakery!!!
