Do you remember this? Look how cute you were!

First Post for you.

Hi Jenna, Holli and Zach,

This is for you. This is just going to be writings and notes in an on-line journal, so for you, especially Jenna and Zach, if you want to now, or if you want to later in life, you can see what is going on with me, what I'm thinking about and maybe give you some insight into somethings about me that you didn't know.

I will try to write every few days and add more pictures and thoughts.

So I will give you the update what is going on with me right now: Work, which always is going on. I'm also working out on a regular basis, I have been for 5 weeks - just about every day and this week is the first week I can see a difference in the way my clothes fit and I'm just feeling good all around. I also have been trying to work on just having a good attitude and waking up with positive thoughts everyday, kind of like a mental exercise and that has been working quite well too, along with trying to listen to and read items from motivational speakers and items on personal growth. Life is Mind over Matter. I also have been doing a little eBay selling of cake pans and I bought a bunch of them and I have to list them individually and sell them, but we are going to be gone this weekend, so I have to wait until I'm going to be home by a computer. I sold some of the cake pans I made for you guys as kids, but I kept some too, ones that I think I can use when you guys have kids. I love making birthday cakes for people, and with all the practice the three of you have given me - I'm gotten pretty good over the years.

I have been thinking about walking in a fund raiser or something over the summer. I would like to maybe do it for the Epilepsy foundation. So I'm going to look into that and I will post anything that I find, I thought it might be fun to do together, but either way I think it would be something good to do all around. Let me know what you think.

Oh finally, I want you know know why I named this Queen Frostine. Hank, who loves to play Candy Land has began to call me "Queen Frostine" after one of the characters, instead of "Aunt Christine" they are quite close, so I love the name, especially the "Frostine" part sounding like cake frosting. So I took the name to heart. Thanks, Hank.

I hope you comment if you have any ideas or responses to my post.
