The Alternatives

Hey Mother lovers, If you follow me on Facebook, you’ve noticed by now that I’ve fallen into a baking phase. I must be honest, I just like being able to serve sweets that others will enjoy. I see these delectables and wonder how I can make it and make it better. And it feels good when those who eat it, like it. Obviously. I pick recipes from Youtube, I have at least four channels I live for - I will post links down below for you, and I recommend checking them out. As of late though, I check on google for recipes and it leads me to other bloggers/websites. I have gotten two recipes for desserts already from a site called The Spruce . Amazing recipes, especially for beginners, like us. And they taste so good and are easily made, so far I tried the souffle  - which I will master GAWDAMNIT, and the vanilla cupcakes..which yes are just as good as they look: Baking, with no surprise, makes a big ol’ mess. Flour everywhere, egg whites drippings on the counter, and I a...

Mother Lovers!!! Let’s just say this morning was a different morning. I woke up, coffee has been set up the night before, and I thought pancakes this morning would be a hell of a breakfast. So that’s what I did. A simple one, two and soon I had a plate full of delicious pancakes, coffee with this bad-the-fuck-ass creamer by International Delight that is flavored…Reese’s! Your welcome. I made myself busy even before my day started. It feels good to have something to do instead of laying in bed waiting for my alarm to go off! (Barbie, are you in there?!) All I can wait for now is for lunch to come around and put in an hour of reading my book to finish so I can already buy the next one. Also, I need to go see It. Busy bee, much? And right after work, you can bet your sweet ass I’ll be at the gym for half an hour cardio – baby steps. When a fire lights up in you is when your mind begins to think and act differently. It somehow has been rewired. Re-programmed to n...

Motherlovers!!! Geez, this morning.. whatatumble. Yea. I am so used to having my morning joe, every morning, minimun two cups with a splash of creamer. Along with it I smoke, maybe, one or two bowls, get dress, grab lunch from the fridge, if I can and out the door. Nothing unusual. But, I take an English II class now. They are part of the core classes, so I have to knock it out, again. Anyways... The professor kindly told me I need to drink my joe outside the door, no way it was coming in the computer lab. Understandable. But, damn, did that suck. First. It was hot. Second. It kept me up to watch the movie, which was really good by the way. All the President's Men with Robert Bedford and Dustin Hoffman. Amazing film depicting the Watergate Scandal. I enjoyed myself. Now i have two papers to write, well more like 1 and an annotated  bibliography l, which, again, I already have done. Sigh. Sooooooooooooo Fast forward to the second class meeting, this morning, and we o...

Morning, Nuggets, Word of the day: Setback. Seems like this morning was chock-full of them. Setback here, and a setback there. Here a setback, there a setback, everywhere a setback. Oh this day had a shit ton of setbacks! E! I! E! I! OOOOOOOO!!!!! That was in a span of two hours and twenty minutes. I’ve like six more hours to go, y’all. Lately, that’s what It feels like. Setback after setback. Yea, that afterglow has seemed to fade. #Faded. I don’t know about everyone else, though, I’d like to say I feel I have a pretty good handle on the situations at hand. I feel confident on what’s coming. I can’t say why I think I feel like this. Or it could be like the calm before the storm, then BAM- You’ve sunk my battleship! Anywho…. I feel, personally, the sooner I get my shit together, here comes life with all it’s glory ready to smite me with hard knocks. Life is a mother fucker; as soon as it smells greatness inching towards me to bless me and it f...

Know the best way to start the day? Wake up and smoke some of the healthy herb and pet your cat that won’t stop meowing until you bend over to pet him, and once you do that you only get one stroke in because he decided he’s fed up with your shit. But he’ll be back. They always are. So, you go and make some coffee to be ready when you get out of the shower, open the patio doors and let that morning Texas air fill the living room. Pretty great start so far. Get dressed, find a clean shirt to wear to work, since we haven’t done laundry and been putting it off like everything else in life. Like petting the cat. Prepare your coffee, head out the door at the same time with your partner; give them a kiss good bye as you part ways to each of your cars. As you get into your car, place your coffee in the cup holder and place your items on the passenger seat to rest and while you do that, the handle on your purse or whatever in your case, will somehow grab your coff...
