Just another Thursday

Hello my most wonderful lovies! Yes, I am one of the many listeners of the very lovable auntie Vera Charles. Whenever I feel a bit down on my way to work (I am a morning downer) I listen to one of hir shows and always feel better.

Being newly wed, newly boss, a triduple-time parent and a tad lazy the blogging is as you know a very neglected part of my life. I wont apologize since this is my blog and my rules of frequency applies.

Right now I am waiting for a cake to bake in my oven. My very dear friend Carola have a birthday fika Saturday and I have gotten the honor of baking the cake. If you don’t tell her I can say that it will be two cakes. I couln’t help myself.

I believe most people are best in something. Most people have that area in life where they are the best. Someone have some mean programming skills, someone can retell a story in one sentence, someone knows all star wars lego sets in numerical order. Most people are the best at something.

I am the kind of person that isn’t. I am the kind of person that knows a lot about more things than the most. I know more about the economical situation than most, but many know much, much more than me. I know more about chemistry than most people but many, many more knows much more than me. I know a lot about the Bible but many, many more knows much more than me. And so the story goes. But that story actually goes a long way. I do know a lot. It took me a few years to notice but finally I did. For a long time I only saw that I didn’t know the most about anything. I only saw the downside of that side of me. The other side of the coin is that I very easily learn a lot about a new topic and remember most of it for ever.

But even if I nowadays think that just that is one of my best sides I still want to be really, really good at something. For now I have chosen baking cakes as that part of myself. I thought about it for a while and I realized I needed to nerd out on a thing that wasn’t work related and also is creative and fun. So I rather strategical and crassly chose cakes. I knew nothing about baking when I chose this path. Now it has passed a few years and I am starting to get a hang of it. Many of my friends let the bday cake be baked by me and I also get a few friends of friends that pay me to bake them something.

It is fun to go out of character like this and really learn something even thought it isn’t my profession. To go out of character to learn something new is totally inside my character and learning a lot about most things.

Now the cake that was in the oven when I started to write this is cooled (probably freeze) out on my balcony and I need to take care of it.

I will post some pictures on theese cakes after Saturday when Carola have seen them.

Until then: Take care and much love to all of you! Extra love for all of you that kept my feed for all this time. You’re extraordinary and I really do love you all!

Until next time I’ll leave you with a wonderful music video:
