Well...here it goes!

I have never in my life ever started a blog. I have read plenty of blogs, but NEVER started one, so here it is!

For those of you that know me, know from my Facebook posts that I am an avid lover of everything cupcakes. My daughter and I live for the weekends so we can bake, bake, bake! I love cupcakes! I love creating and making new flavors and mixtures...I love it! I love going to various stores and collecting cupcake holders, toppings, candies and chocolates. Kelsea is my fondant queen. She makes it from scratch using marshmallows and powdered sugar. She amazes me with the items she can create. Tomorrow she will give it her all and make flowers. I can't wait!

On the converse of my love is my absolute eternal hatred for the beast called, Trax. Trax is a train system located here in the Salt Lake valley that hauls mass amounts of people everyday to and from work, school, shopping, games, and whatever other things people need to do in this valley. The line I currently ride involves a plethora of college students and working professionals that either unload with a mass exodus at the courthouse or the U of U. So for the majority of the ride, I am shoehorned into a little area consisting with me being smashed up against the glass each morning due to people's lack of personal boundaries. Why do I put myself through this hell almost everyday of the week you might ask? The answer is simple...I'm from Florida and have never drove in the snow and parking at the U is a virtual nightmare involving jocking through the parking lot which I call Foothill Dr., making it to Mario Capecchi Dr. with out any wrecks blocking all lanes, finding the O zone parking lot which equates to BFE, and then running across an ice slick parking lot to a hopefully awaiting shuttle to bustle me up the hill to the hospital. Driving white knuckled everyday through this nightmare is something I wish I could avoid BUT I just don't trust the traffic and being late isn't an option so Trax it is. Ugh!

The purpose of this blog is to show you non-Trax riders the things I go through everyday and the cupcakes we bake. You get the good and the bad, thus my blog title. I plan on taking pictures...lots of pictures to show you the crazies that are out there. I have already seen a "clubber chick", you know, the kind that like to dress up all cute for club night even though it was 8 am. She had shaved her head and wore a wig of red and black yarn she fashioned into a ponytail wig. So help me, she did. She completed her look with jungle boots, a black baby doll dress and black lipstick. Words do not describe. Then there was today! The man sitting across from me was enjoying the ride by reading a book. I sat listening to my Zune and the various music on it. I looked out the window but saw his reflection as he stuck his chubby, fat finger in his nose. I thought, "Gross! Does he not have any cooth?". A few seconds later I found out he doesn't because he decided to drop his nose nuggets on my lunch bag that was laying on my lap. He never broke concentration from reading so I am guessing he didn't realize what he had done. I wanted to smack him over the head with my lunch bag so bad. Who does stuff like that? Needless to say, I will be buying a new lunch bag this weekend. I can't even think of putting food in it and a crust of nose nugget fall in on my food. Eww!

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this blog. This is my life...for right now.
