Great News!

I might be baking sooner than I thought I would!  We found out today our unaccompanied baggage is here on the island and should be delivered in a few days!  Of course I prioritized and sent my KitchenAid Mixer and miscellaneous baking things in this shipment.  My husband is all 'you could have sent useful stuff, like our printer or coffee machine'.  I could have, but I prioritize like a girl.  Like in one of our bags we packed to bring here on the plane, I brought my wax pot and a Scentsy burner (along with all my scents).  Nice eyebrows and a nice smelling living room is a priority, yeah?

Also, our household goods should be here the first week of May!  That means I can have my comfy couch and bed!  The only thing left to set up is getting my Toby and Mady over here.  Hopefully that plan is complete within the next few weeks and they're here before the end of May.  I can't wait to have them here and it feel like 'home'.  Yes, I'm one of those people.

But, for now, it's bedtime.  I have to get used to  updating this thing.  I guess I could put everything on here that I don't think is important enough for Facebook.  Maybe.  We'll see.

I've been doing some thinking.

This blog will probably end up being mostly personal.  Not deep, dark secrets personal..  But more just about life and what goes on in it.  I thought about combining both business and personal, but since I don't really have a business here yet, I better not.  Maybe a Facebook page to do the business thing.  

I've also been thinking about different ways to get my name and my cupcakes out on the island..  And I've come to one conclusion; Giveaways.  Once I get my KitchenAid Mixer, cupcake pans and the rest of my supplies I think I'll start doing like a drawing of some sort.  Maybe a trivia question.  But either way, maybe every weekend for a month or so, I'll give the option of 3 flavors of cupcakes, 3 frostings and maybe some decoration for whomever wins and they can pick them up on a Saturday morning.  Not only will this ease me back into baking, but it'll give me a chance to try out new recipes, get my name out there..  And Codi won't be forced to either eat everything or take it to his shop on the ship.  Good idea, bad idea?  Free cupcakes sounds awesome to me, but I guess time will tell.

Now, it's just the waiting game of getting my stuff.  And restocking my supplies.
