Introductions

Hi everyone!  Let me introduce myself - my name is Mrs. Ladycakes.  The hubby is the one who decided my name should be "Mrs. Ladycakes," because he always calls me ladycakes.  I have wanted to blog for years and finally have mustered the courage to do so.  Writing has always been a great way for me to collect my thoughts, and I have often had *Aha!* moments while writing, whether it was in essays, emails, letters to friends, or even through gchat.  So my goal in having this blog is to have fun, learn more about myself through the process of blogging and hopefully entertain you!  Welcome!

Just a little on me - I live in the fabulous city of Philadelphia, and this year has been one of great change for me.  I got married (to Mr. Mancakes, of course; yes, it's true that in deciding that my name should be "Mrs. Ladycakes," he did not foresee that that would necessitate him being "Mr. Mancakes"!  He'll adjust . . . : ) ), got a bulldog (Senor Fussybutt), and graduated from law school.  The changes have been very exciting, but have left me in a very new phase of my life, as I adjust to really working full-time for the first time and being a wife (and mommy to Senor Fussy!).  Stay tuned !!!

Mr. Mancakes is an attorney, but what he truly loves is food and real estate.  He loves going out to eat all different kinds of food, loves watching the Food Network and loves talking about different locations for and styles of restaurants.  He also loves walking through Philly and looking at all the different buildings, watching what businesses succeed where and keeping up with the sell price of various types of real estate.  I hope that someday he can explore these passions, whether as a 2nd career or hobby. 

As for Senor Fussy, all he wants is to be held, to eat and to bark and bite!  (The biting is an issue . . . )  You know, we got Senor Fussy, because everyone had told us bulldogs were great city dogs.  Everyone said, "They don't bark, they're relatively inactive, they don't shed, etc."  Well, guess what people, none of these descriptions fit Senor Fussybutt!  He has barked from the moment we got him, he runs around like crazy and you should see the hair all over our entire house.  But, c'est la vie, he is our son and we love him regardless!

Well, I must be off - until next time.

XOXO,
Ladycakes
