Cupcakes and vibes

Does 2 cupcakes and a milk count as lunch?

And it was great to walk thru downtown with an "OhMiBod" in my hand and no one thought it was weird. :-p

Stopped by "Sugar On Top" today. Had a pancakes & bacon cupcake (my favorite) and tried the white chocolate & macadamia nut cupcake. Both so yummy.

Got to sit and chat with Shaunda, SOT's owner and do some catching up. She's always so bubbly and hopeful. I can't help but smile when we talk. Or maybe it's the sugar high. :-p

If you haven't heard of "Sugar On Top", they were featured on Food Network's "Cupcake Wars" - Cirque episode. Their cupcakes are yummy and I'm so happy to see a local biz get some exposure. :-)

And, State College has 2 cupcake shops for you to experience - Sugar On Top and *Ndulge. Check 'em both out and go to cupcake heaven.

I even got to meet the woman behind the "SleepPhones", which I've always spotted in the SkyMall Magazines on my trips. That was pretty sweet. And it's a great-looking product that I may have to get.

Can I have my cake...

... and eat it, too?

I want a man who wants to be with because of me (who I am) -- not because of what I do for a living.

And I don't want a man to NOT want to be with me because of what I do.

Ugh.

I try to stay out in the public eye for work and then I still want my privacy. I don't really like the idea of someone Googling me and knowing the work side of my life until I tell them, if they don't already know.

Ugh. Ugh.

I really do want my cake and eat it, too.

I love a great party

I really love being able to go out for an evening, talk pleasure and toys, give my hostess over $120 in FREE products, make money, and only having to drive exactly 1 mile ROUNDTRIP. Pretty awesome.

Call me Cupid

I recently spent and afternoon in the Baltimore area... In the studio of Atomic Cheesecake Studios to make an attempt at pinup style pics.

My girlfriends have done it and their pics always looked awesome. Why wouldn't I want to give it a go, ya know?

So here's one my pics. Call me your Cupid. ;-)

A day

As I write this it's technically Thursday, but since I'm still awake, it's still Wednesday, Feb. 9th.

So yesterday was a day. A long and exhausting day. Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of my godmother's passing, so I was going to pay her a visit.

And I was also going to pay my mother a visit because I found out she had been admitted to the hospital on Tuesday. My mother and I always had this rough relationship, so I didn't how she would react to me visiting.

So how did it turn out?

I can say that there was some ugly crying at the cemetery. I needed some of that time to just things start to hit me.

So yeah, my day started with sad tears.

But, my day ended with hopeful tears after I spent about 4 hours with my mom with a little talking and talk of talking about our issues and taking the steps to heal wounds and heal our relationship.

I returned to town to spend the rest of the night with friends and karaoke. My friends always make me smile and I really needed it.

Then of course I was up until about 4am getting work done. I guess after having been up for about 20 hours, I was bound to et sleepy, right?

Life has its ups and downs. When it has its down and downs, we can only move up.


Oooh yeah... Milk in a bag is awesome!

It's around the corner...

Valentine's Day, or Singles' Awareness Day, is around the corner.... What are your plans?

I know what I'll be doing and I'll keep you posted. Should be a good night though. :-)

I still can't believe it's February. Tomorrow will be the one year anniversary of my godmother's passing. I'll be heading home to visit her.

This last year has been a good and bad one. My friends and I would like to punch 2010 in the face.

I'm still human after all and I feel like I haven't really mourned her. I'll tell you... My godmother was really my godmother, but that was the easiest way for me to describe her. She was like my second mother. She had known me since I was in my mother's womb. She and my "godfather" treated me like their own - spoiling me like they could and there have been times when she was there when my real mother wasn't there for me.

We got along like mother-daughter. We fought like mother-daughter.

She had been sick since September of '09, when she was in the hospital for a stint and I was driving back and forth (2 hours each way) between parties to check in on her. I remember being so stressed that I lost so much in a short time that my skinny (ya know, the ones we keep around hoping we'll fit in them again one day) we falling off of me. I had known her my entire life and I wasn't used to seeing her so physically weak and her mind not so sharp at times. She was still feisty though. She was always feisty.

Anyway... Work saved me when she passed. The day I got the call that she had passed, I did a party that night. I had to. I needed to. I didn't want to think about how she was found. I didn't want to keep making calls back and forth with the coroner to get the results of the autopsy. I didn't want to think about the last phone conversation that we had or that i had just seen her a week or two before. I think I only nearly broke down once. And then right after, my boyfriend at the time drove me back home got us a hotel room so I could get her funeral arrangements done.

I don't know how people do it. I was so fortunate that she had already pre-planned and prepaid everything. The only decisions I had to make were to pick her outfit and pick the day and time (even she had a preference for time). I don't think my brain would have been able to process it all.

It's been a year. There's been a fight with with the life insurance company. We're still dealing with the estate because it's taken so long to clean out the house. Trying to sell it.

I feel like maybe I'm not ready to let go of the house. I lived in that house for most of my childhood. She lived in it when she was younger. She and my godfather moved in after my family and I moved out. So part of me feels like when I sell the house, I'm losing the last bit of her.

How do people do it? How do folks handle estate issues so quickly??

My work started to take a hit once the spring ended. My heart wasn't into my business anymore. I never thought that would happen. It shows in my sales for the last half of the year. Ugh. The reality of her death started to hit me more and more.... Slowly.

I don't know when it will fully hit me. I'm good at pushing my feelings deep down inside.

Anyway... Sorry for getting all serious and sad. But the "Sex Toy Lady" is still human after all.

Aaand... If you know anyone who'd want to buy a fixer-upper house on 2 acres of land in southern Lancaster county, send them my way.

Twitterverse

I've been digging this whole Twitter thing.

Information can fly around so quickly and at the same time, lemme just say that it can be tough to keep up at times.
