worry & cuppycakes.

you wouldn’t be surprised if i told you that things have been quite stressful lately. just when things seem ok, they get worse. but, whatever. i can’t do anything about it except to try not to worry about it, right? {did that even make sense?}

i watched dave ramsey the other night and he was quoting dale carnegie. basically, what i got out of the program {which happened to be on bankruptcy – not something relevant to us…i just like to listen to dave ramsey talk about finances} was this:

80% of what we worry about will never happen.

so, where am i going with this? absolutely nowhere. well, except for the fact that i have it drilled into my sweet little head that i have to stop worrying. because, honestly folks, worrying could be considered one of my talents.

therefore, in light of the stress & the worry, i decided to treat myself to something sweet. i would just like to say that i had every intention of only getting ONE cupcake, but i left the store yesterday afternoon with a DOZEN.

of course, there are a couple missing in the picture…

during lunch, i ventured over to just cupcakes. i went for a pink ribbon cupcake {they call it the cupcake for a cure}. i got one four {they were done two ways – vanilla with pink ribbon sprinkles & chocolate with pink sugar}. oh, and two pumpkin spice. and two frankly scarletts {a.k.a. red velvet}. and two m’s cupcakes. AND, two choco-coco. they are delicious. such a sinful treat for someone who is watching her budget and is perfectly capable of baking her own yummy goodness at home.

but, who could resist?

of course, now what am i doing? worrying. i’m worried about how i can justify having a cupcake at every meal. yes, even breakfast. i’m staring at a pumpkin spice cuppycake right now.

oh, boy.

  1. worrying could be considered one of my best talents too! So you are definitely not alone! And your post did make sense but try not to worry! I (trust me, I know!) know it is hard but it is all you can do :)

  2. You are so not alone with the worrying – I always try to tell myself that whatever I'm worrying about probably won't happen, but I still do it. Ugh.

    Those cupcakes look so super yummy!

    I like that fact – 80% of what we worry about never happens.

  4. lovey, a friend once told me that worry was like a rocking chair. it helps to pass the time but it never gets you anywhere. i love it.

    and please, eat those cuppycakes before i do.

    still laughing at the i bought one. but really 4. lol.

  5. If I lived closer I'd be happy to come take one of them off your hands…

    Every once in awhile you gotta eat a cuppycake for breakfast. That's what makes being an adult fun.
    GO FOR IT GIRL!!! Let me know if you indulge, and then I will also :)

    I worry about everything like it is my job, so I can understand. I hope that everything gets better. Those cupcakes look delicious and like they could definitely make my day!
