Smiling While Crying


So the pre-Bake-Off came and went, thirteen hours past, I lost a bit of my arm in a nougat accident, but can’t really feel much of anything at the moment so it doesn’t matter much. I just can’t believe I made it through alive.

Everything in The Bake-Off is timed to the minute. I have a three page time table, and there is very little room for mistakes. With that said, you can only imagine how I felt when I fell twenty minutes behind within the first hour. Overall, any of the stuff that I wasn’t sure about, or felt uncomfortable with, came out great. Everything that I have done time and time again perfectly, came out barely passing. It just sucked, and there were a couple moments when I wanted to walk out. I have no idea why I never walkout! Three years of thinking about it, but I still find myself here. No clue why, because this shit sucks.

So in a nutshell, today’s “dress rehearsal” didn’t go great, but I put my all in to it, and more then that I don’t have. Surprisingly I still kind of feel a bit golden in an odd way, the fact that I lived through today is amazing to me, a beautiful surprise.

I so need a snuggle.

Congratulations Sissy! I'm so proud of you! Of course you didn't walk out, that's not the kind of person you are. It's no suprise to me.

Oh sweet sister, that is SO the kind of person I am. Think back far enough and you'll see it. Thanks for seeing me in a good light though. :)
