Get excited!

Here's to getting you pumped and excited for future posts.


Look at how beautiful my baby is!

Well... more to come!

Welcome!

Welcome to my personal blog. I have recently discovered a need to share my musings and misusings with the world. While this blog is named after my perfect puppy Pepper, I foresee many a blog post about other things that I adore. What may that be you ask? Let's take a look...

1. Pigs. I simply am obsessed with pigs. All shapes, sizes and colors. I find them irresistible and can usually be relied on to SQUEALLL in delight when I see one... in a magazine, a commercial, TV Show, movie or (god forbid) real life!!! I consider it my life-long dream to one day own a farm that can house (along with rescued animals of all genus) my porky porcine family.
2. Baking. I genuinely LOVE the art of patisserie. Or good old fashioned baking. To me, (i.e. uneducated) I consider the two different. Baking is comfort, patisserie is gourmet  I enjoy both to bake and eat these lovely confections, but more often then not, I bake WAY more than I need so I like to give them away (hoping for compliments because I am just THAT needy)
3. Cooking. I do love to cook. I do. really, believe me. I just NEVER HAVE THE TIME. That being said, I usually can rock a MEAN crock pot dish. I do make a point to cut out as many preservatives & unnaturalness from our food as possible. I frequently use made-from-scratch substitutes for things and prefer organic produce & meat when possible.
4. My love. My man. My gentle-blue-eyes-giant. I'll save you from the sap fest... but BASICALLY he is perfect. No big deal, just the luckiest stinkin' gal around this part of the world. I'll go ahead and name him J for our purposes.
5. RVA!! I just bought a house (more to come on that) just north of Richmond, VA. (Aptly names, Northside, whatup!) I love my town. I'm going to be sure to highlight its fabulocity and local fantasticalities as much as possible. Also just the state of Virginia in general. Pretty awesome (think I use that word enough?)
1. Side note, did you KNOW that awesomeness is from here? I'll make a note to devote an ENTIRE post to the cool cats that called RVA home and then you can THANK RVA for being spectacular. 
6. Home-ownership. Let's be real folks. It is a total love/hate & love-to-hate relationship. But it is a pretty gnarly (every sense of the word) adventure and as we make changes/improvements/revelations... I'll gladly share with you (and hopefully entertain at the least).
7. Music. I am a 2nd year (i.e. rookie) Music teacher. I will generally spare you from my educational exploits as I have a completely music devoted blog (merelymusicmadness), but when it comes to the career as whole, I have found that I may enjoy from time to time, sharing my excitements with the generic public (i.e. my friends and family, what what!)
8. (LAST-BUT-NEVER-LEAST) Pepper. My baby. Go ahead and get super pumped up for the adorableness of Pepper pictures & maybe a post or two about the care and keeping of a goofball (cared for a kept by goofballs).

There, did that whet your appetite  I'm sure that EVENTUALLY I will get engaged... until then I will refrain from posting about the "wedding" (hey, I never said I would stop pinning [or for that matter pining] for it!)

Let's all have a little fun now!
