The Idea

I have a boring job. I'm in between school right now. I just finished my undergrad in April, and I start my grad program in September. That left me with about five months of nothing to do. I found a temporary job working for an out of control attorney in a small firm in Idaho Falls, ID. The job pays well, and the attorney makes my life interesting, but it leaves something to be desired. It is also a slow time of year, and I find myself sitting at my computer looking for things to occupy my time. After coming to the realization that there really wasn't anything I could possible do one day, I began looking at cooking blogs online. About a month ago, my boyfriend went out of town for a family vacation, and I was left alone and bored. Whilst pondering my lonely situation and surfing the net at work, I had an overwhelming craving to make cupcakes. I went straight to my favorite baking blog and browsed the recipes, searching for a simple but delicious looking one. My first attempt was a bit of a disaster truth be told, but I didn't give up. In the past month, I have tested out a few different recipes, and had favorable results. I love the feeling that I get once I cut into the dessert and taste it for the first time. There is apprehension and hope that it will not only taste alright, but will taste good enough to be proud of. I've decided to start my own baking blog to chronicle my failures and successes in the baking world. I figure that once I start grad school, far away from my friends and boyfriend, I'll be in need of something to occupy my time on the weeknights. Wish me luck :)
