Vicarious Living...

That is what I am doing this weekend. I am living vicariously through several people; former graphic designers turned scrapbook professionals, graphic designers, scrapgurus, bakery owners... I keep thinking about my life and how I hate that I have to wait for anything. I am, for some cosmic reason, being held to a timeline that I have to follow.

On and on again, the constant nagging!!! Yea Yea I know, I can't seem to get off this topic. I just want to live a fulfilling life of doing all that I want. It is coming, just SLOWLY. I have been seriously thinking of selling cupcakes, but trying to do so at farmers markets and flea markets. I am thinking it will help me fund my graphic designers education while I wait to start my BS in Visual Communications. It has been my dream to design and create and be a part of something that has the potential to touch the lives of many.

I am an envious person, this happens to be my downside and part of my personality. I am envious of women who are incredibly creative, get paid for it, get to stay home and work their own hours. I have tried the party line business, I have ran my own VA business, and hubby and I want to eventually start our design business, but he and I have different styles so it will be a miracle of sorts to work. My VA business landed me a contract and then landed me to an offer, an offer that I just couldn't refuse. It isn't easy to own your own business, especially with a family. But I have the will to do it, under the right circumstances. I love to bake and experiment, unfortunately I haven't had much luck with my kitchen as my stove has been out of commission, for a whole lot of reasons I can't get into right now.

But I have aquired the use of a stove, I have thought about all the places that I can go and sell my cupcakes, and I have even thought about doing wholesale orders. But who knows. I just want to make enough to pay for my classes and then figure out what I will do after that!

So many things. But I love these girls!
