Bananamania

tonight I am going to bake a banana cake from scratch with a homemade cream cheese frosting.  I love to bake, I could seriously do it every day.  Maybe if I did it every day I would actually become better at it.  I do make a super tasty banana bread.

My idea of an awesome night would be lighting a fire in the fireplace, baking some amazing treat, making some tea and then sitting in front of the fire with the tea and treat and a book.  I'm not even kidding.

At the cottage this weekend I looked around a few times and thought about the many all-nighter party scenarios I've had there and man, it made me exhausted just thinking about it.  You know, those weren't good times at all.  I'd end up hungover and pissed off as everyone would tend to sort of bail the next day and I'd have to do a lot of cleaning up after immature messy people.  I can't stress how glad I am that those days are long gone and I can't stress how happy I am to be at a place in my life where fun can be had without having to get wasted.  You couldn't pay me to go back to that.
