Boofy Cakes

Today is the day! The newspaper is out! And it’s lovely, if I do say so. Take a look!

Front page of the Carol Stream Press

Yeah, Thats right! I’m on the front page! The photographer took some beautiful photos, I’m really impressed! Nothing like a close up on my concentrating face… hehe. But thats just a picture, now where’s the article? Hmmm… maybe page 4?

Look at that! A whole page! Who knew that there was so much to say about cake? I did feel like a goof going into the convenient store down the street and buying a stack of these, but wouldn’t you?

So I go to the counter with 6 papers, one for me, my parents, the boyfriend, the best friend… yadda yadda yadda (apparently  no one can just go to the corner store themselves, hehe). The lady behind the counter looked at me, counted the papers and started ringing me up, $6 total (I never buy papers, I didn’t realize there’s no tax?) and she asked me if there was something special about them. I told her yeah! Me! Her eyes got big and she asked me where? I pointed to the big picture of the redhead on the front page and said there! She had to look at it really close, and it took her a second, before she realized that it was me. Now, I know I rolled out of bed and dragged my but to the store, and I wasn’t exactly looking my best, but the picture still looked like me!

Then she called over her coworker to show her that I was on the cover . They started oooh-ing and aaaah-ing over it. I was starting to feel a little awkward at this point. Her coworker looked at how many papers I had on the counter and asked if I had left any on the rack. *Embarrassed* Gosh, I didn’t take that many! I took 6 of the 10 they had there despite the fact I really wanted to take them all. And I would have bought them all,  except my mother taught me to share. Besides, I want some to be left for someone else to read! She laughed at me and said she didn’t care how many I took, as long as I left one there for them to read! *Sigh* Oh, OK!

Anyways, the ladies loved the article and asked for my website and I was off on my merry little way. You can read the whole article online at the Carol Stream Press website, or you can just click HERE!
