The inaugural post

Get excited? Why? Because I'm starting a blog. Yep, that's right. I'm taking my love of baking, crafting, whining (and wine-ing, as in my made up word for drinking lots o' wine), bad TV and pretend Internet shopping (don't worry I'll explain) to the masses.

Here in this magical space I will chronicle my misadventures. It'll be fun -- no seriously, it will be. I'll cover everything from my latest kitchen triumph (this week peanut butter, white chocolate and pretzel cookies) to my latest Etsy obsession (um, awesome much?).

The happy couple.
But first let's start with a little about me. I've been living in Alabama (yes, Alabama. yes, as in Sweet Home Alabama) for a while now. I'm a Virginia native, Richmond to more specific. So what would bring me so far south you ask? To a land where football reigns supreme and the summers are consumed by 90 degree days with humidity so powerful it wreaks so much havoc on curly locks one might contemplate just going bald?! Love, my friends. Love brought me here.

Richmond, Va. -- home sweet home
Yes, in the summer of 2009 I left the fine state of Virginia to live along side my bestie a.k.a Andy Bitter (Yep, that's bitter as in bitter pill to swallow). I'm far away from my friends and family (and what sometimes feels like civilization) but I'm happy and I'm looking forward to our June wedding. Life is pretty good, even if I am somewhat bitter over the fact I live in the "Heart of Dixie." Google it, I'm serious.

That's all for now. Stay tuned. I'll have the deets on those tasty cookies and the best pizza dough recipe EVER coming up soon, plus map art. Maps are cool, trust me. The fun has only just begun!
