This is my 1 year blogiversary and wanted to do some fun little cakes to mark the day.
first, I thought with a Halloween theme because it is the same day.
No, already with some Halloween cake pops.
What about a birthday theme?
Nah, too expected.
Then, talking to myself, one of my pictures caught my attention and I think I saw the light bulb over his head on.
here it is.
And if you do not know who you are looking at on the left is aka Bo Duke John Schneider of the Dukes of Hazzard, and on the right, although me. Hello!
You may not know, but when I was 9, he was my boyfriend. I even had a lot of Teen Beat magazine to prove it. Years later, we met, I mean met at a charity dinner. He was the guest speaker. I remember being in the ballroom and see him standing outside waiting for me, I mean waiting to speak. He was alone. Now mind you, I'm a little shy, but I thought I can not have another chance. So I walked out of the ballroom to where he stood and introduced myself and thanked him for coming to speak. But I think the actual words probably sounded something like, "Hi, I'm a big fan." I wanted so much to ask him to sign it, not one, but two General Lee model cars that I wait in my purse. (Yes, I'm a dork!)
A friend of mine had two cars of his childhood and I bribed to give me if I could get them both signed.
I think I'm the only one who came to dinner with toys and a ... Sharpie fine point, not regular because it would have been too big for his name if I could get signature (Hey, a girl's got to be prepared.) Bo, i mean John, was super nice. After the event, he stayed around to talk to people and even took this beautiful picture with me. I love this picture. It seems that we've known for years. I guess from my perspective, we have.
See the car!
Yep ... signed!
So that was it. The.

And yesterday I got the coolest present to complete the year.
lA Pioneer Woman blogged about making my Halloween Cake Pops. I could not believe it. I look at his site all the time in amazement, and I could not believe she was talking about me. (It's like a kind of super-human. If you are not familiar with it, you should check it.) We secretly I wanted her family to adopt me so I can live on the ranch and cook and take pictures of cows with it all day. So, here's a picture just for her. I think she would like.
Anyway, I can not wait to see what next year brings. More sweet stuff for us I hope.
