Hey y'all. And by y'all, I mean my two readers. Well, it's the third month in 2013 and things have been fun so far. I am in a play. A FUNNY play. I'm talking a bring-some-tissues-and-a-pair-of-pants-because-you're-going-to-cry-and-pee-from-laughing-so-hard funny play. If you've never seen "Leading Ladies" by Ken Ludwig, you are missing out. I've actually seen it before, and it was probably the most hilarious show I have ever watched. I'm playing a ditzy, roller skating carhop who isn't the brightest crayon in the box. This may be my favorite role yet. Her lines are fantastic. I love one-liners, and my character spits 'em out right and left. Due to a lot of physical comedy (which I love!), this show has been quite a workout and has resulted in some battle wounds. So far, I'm up to three play-related bruises, and we're still a month out from opening night. I may look like I'm wearing black-and-blue camo by the time the curtain rises.
As for my 2013 to-do list. I successfully made a homemade pizza from scratch (#36) in January. It was a mushroom pizza with, and I cannot believe I'm typing this, entirely too much cheese on it. Seriously, it was almost gross. But I love cheese, so it wasn't gross. But almost.
In February, I made an elaborate cake for my Valentine (#48). It was a Sour Cream-Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Frosting and Chocolate Peanut Butter Glaze. I found the recipe at Smitten Kitchen (click the recipe name for the link to the actual recipe). I forgot to take a picture of it before we dug into it, so this picture will have to do. Y'all, this cake was DELICIOUS. It may be my favorite Pinterest-found recipe yet. I'm telling you, make this cake now.
Just thinking about that cake inspires the urge to work out (I ate so much of it, I think I'm still working off the calories. But it was definitely worth it). Speaking of working out, I have been working on doing 40 push-ups without stopping (#34). I got up to 12, then got lazy, and now I'm back to somewhere between 5 and 6. It's true- I'm a wimp. Maybe by the end of this year, I will be able to do 40 push-ups and arm wrestle a caveman.
