Tasty Tuesday-Cathy's Strawberry Cake

 Cathy's Strawberry Cake

 Ingredients:

BOX white cake like this





 A 16 oz of Whipping Cream


And a whole box of Powdered sugar.
I think it’s the 16 oz box too.
 
 
 
 Directions:
 
Make the cake as directed.
Pour the whipped cream carton and the box of powdered sugar into a CHILLED METAL BOWL. I would put a bowl and beaters in the freezer while the cake is baking. All you need to do is make the whipped cream which takes some patience since you need to whip it until it won’t slide off the spoon anymore. Frost, add your strawberries and you’re done!!! Good luck!!!

Goals for my new year


I would like to change a lot of things in my 50th year of life. Mostly about myself & how I react to things & how much I think & worry about things. I'd like to be a calmer more confident person. Having anxiety makes you feel like you don't have confidence. I'd like to get my anxiety under control & get people to listen to me more in life. My thoughts, ideas & opinions matter too. I also want to spend more time being creative & find people with like minds to be friends with.

Turning 50


So I'm turning 50 in a few days. I'm not going to change anything since I'm 50. I'm still going to have my hair long, painted fingernails & toes, wear graphic tee shirts, lots of jewelry & make up. I want to keep doing my fave hobbies & do more crafting. I would like to do more exercise. Find a 20 minute pilates routine that I like or yoga. I can't say I'm happy about turning 50, but there's nothing you can do. The day is going to come & I will survive it.

Had my ear pierced again

Earlier this year I was thinking of having my ear pierced in May. They finally just opened piercing places here the past week or 2, so I went today & had my tragus pierced. It's the piercing near my cheek kind of. I had it done years ago, but it never healed right & I kept getting blood blisters. So I took it out after 11 months. I had the other side done 3 years ago this month. I still want a few more piercings.

Purple hair

I had my hubby dye my hair today. I do my hair this plum color once a year usually. I only bought 1 dye though, so I should have gotten 2. So you can see my reddish-golden hair under the top. I might need to get a 2nd 1 & try to go over the lighter color. Not sure if that will make my hair too dry. But the purple will fade once I wash it. It turns out to be more of a reddish-plum. It's a bit harsh where my part is.

Last day of School

This was a tough school year. Even before Covid. So I'm really hoping that in the Fall things can get back to a somewhat normal school routine.

We got Fairy'd

There are some groups all over the country that surprise people with gift bags. I want to start 1 in our town. You put your address in the group & tell what your favorite things are snacks, drinks, if you have kids or pets etc.. & then people ring your doorbell & leave you a bag with fun things in it. It's like ding dong ditch for adults.

June Goals



June is my favorite month & my birthday month. Though I think this June is going to be a lot different than other years. We usually have a Strawberry festival in town, We go to Vermont for the Hot air balloon festival & we do our Summer vacation for my birthday in June. We canceled our trip to FL for my birthday. I'm really sad. Nothing we do around here will be as exciting as FL on my 50th -day, but we'll find something to do.

1. Have my hair dyed plum.
2. Make some doctors appointments.
3. Go to Sephora & get my free birthday gift.
4. Do 5 scrapbook pages.
5. Vacuum the stairs. (Didn't happen in May).
6. Film 2 You tube videos.
7. Put stuff in attic.
8. Donate clothes & other stuff.
9. Order a Birthday cake.
10. Go for a walk.
