I'm feeling pretty uninspired, and I want you all to know about it. I feel guilty for not writing something totally freaking amazing, so I'm just going to ramble on for a while. Currently I am making a birthday cake for a Bollywood-themed birthday bash this Friday. I just googled "Bollywood cakes" and got a ton of ideas. I never even knew Bollywood cakes existed until today. Go on, google image "bollywood cakes."
I guess I'm a little disappointed that I'm not living a more exciting life; or at least a life that is blog-worthy. Personally, I think my life is amazing right now. My baby daughter Ilse is so incredible; watching her develop and grow is truthfully the most satisfying things I've ever done. She pretty much consumes my whole day, or rather my life's events, tasks, errands, etc all have to revolve around her, for the time being. I guess I just don't want to become that mom who creates facebook pages for her baby and can't shut up about how her baby is this and that and how her baby is better than your baby. Nor do I want to be the mom that blogs about her baby. I already have one entry and this is fast becoming the second.
I'm trying really hard to balance my life between "individual" Anna and "mother" Anna, but lately it seems that "mother" Anna has gained control of my mind and body (those post-baby pounds have yet to budge). I guess I just don't want to be discounted because I'm female (with all that that role entails). Don't get me wrong, I love being a mother and wouldn't trade it for anything, but lets be honest: no one is banging down doors of stay-at-home-moms for in-depth interviews or fantastic job offers or anything.
I just don't want to become a stereotype because although I think being a mother is a wonderful yet oft-underappreciated and difficult endeavor, there are a lot of women who sadly do think their children are God's gift to mankind. Stereotypes exist for a reason: because they contain a hint of truth.
So bear with me. If I veer too far towards the obnoxious, hopefully I'll notice and right myself back to balanced. Hopefully somewhere in there I'll find my equilibrium along with a treasure trove of blog-worthy topics.

Thin Is In!
Anyone want to start up a "Lose Weight Fast" club? I'm looking for people who can explain the use of drugs and laxatives and demonstrate the most effective ways to binge and purge. Maybe we could get some Hollywood star to endorse us. Any takers?
